"Farmers should not be
saddled with the full blame for
pollution and erosion" said Merle
Gunby, 1st Vice President of the
Huron County P. of A. at a
presentation of briefs to MPPs,
Saturday, in Clinton.
, Briefs were presented to Jack
Riddell, Liberal MPP for Huron-
Middlesex and Murray Gaunt,
Liberal MPP for Huron-Bruce, at
a luncheon Saturday sponsored
by the Huron FederatiOn of
Agriculture and other commodity
groups.
Mr. Gunby presented a brief on
pollution., • erosion and
conservation and recommended
the following:
More research in reclaiming
cnd Ourifying sewage so it can be
safely used as a fertilizer.
Research in developing new
crops and cropping practices
suitable for Ontario growing
conditions.
Larger grants to colleges, or
individuals to study these topics
(pollution, erosion, conservation)
and more people trained in the
techniques of conservation.
"There is no question as to the
effects of over-farming" said
Mr.Gaunt. "There are dangers
involved in using sewage. on the
land in combination with various
other chemical's which could lead
to hazardous results. More
research is definitely needed." ,
"We have not fully explored`
the possibilities of conservation.
Why recycling ,paper from
Queens Park could save 40,000
trees," Mr. Gaunt commented.
"Farmers are aware of the
pollution they are causing and are
reviewing the situation. But
pollution comes from all points of
service such as lake bank runoffs,
storm sewers, and this in itself
causes more erosion than
farmers', said Mr. Gunbv.
Another issue covered was the
preservation of valuable farm
ljind. George 'Underwood,
chairman of the HFA's property
and land use committee said in
his brief -that "information' on
reserve land for agriculture is
rather irrelevant for future use as
no consideration has been given
to soil capabilities, climatic
factors and even the feasibility of
farming in some areas".
Land reserve . figures„ were
produced from Agriltural
StatisticS for Ontario 1976, News
releases from Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food and from an
AIWA report of acreages of soil
capability for Agriculture in
Ontario.
"Land reserve figures seriously
misrepresent to the Ontario
consumer the nature of the food
production picture in Ontario.
17 million acres in the northern
and shield regions are in no way
object if we erected a. self-
protective measure which
duplicates one of their own.
The Federation Urges the
Government to reintroduce the
Small Business Act at the earliest
possible opportunity, asserting
that to delay is to leave Ontario
uncomfortably vulnerable to the
whims of international fortunes.
Speaking of long-term
problems, the Federation
obseves that ntarie - like the
rest of Ca, da - is caught up in a
series •o fundamental-changes- in
is conditions, citing the
from an era of abundant,
comparable to the fertile and
climatically favourable southern
regions." the report stated.
"The (provincial) green paper
put the onus on municipalities to
preserve land. At this rate
preservation may have to be
legislated" replied Mr. Riddell,

problem".
"The Minister tAg minister

tain food products", he said.

The..., Presentation maintains
that Ontario's economic fortunes,

Subsequently, the
Federation, while recognizing
that high unemployment
represents a serious waste of
resources and a cause of much
personal hardship and tragedy,
states "the temptation to cure
unemployment through the time-
honoured means of triasssive
spending and equally substantial
'general tax reductions is strong.
