About 300 farm people and students attended a symposium on this subject at Centralia College last week, Changes in the Federal Estate and. Gift Tax regulations have suddenly caused farmers to realize that they have sizeable estates. The program speakers emphasized that most farm estates can now be subject to considerable death duties, A new concept in taxation has been established by the revised tax regulations. It is that each generation should essentially 'start from scratch,' The new regulations will reduce death duties when the husband or wife dies since there will be no tax on transfer of assets between spouses. But the rub comes when the assets are transferred to the next generation on the death of the last surviving parent. Tax rates in this situation are steep. Thus the need for estate planning is important not only to reduce death duties as such, but to avoid putting an intolerable burden on the next generation and to make it possible to keep the farm together as a productive unit. In many cases, incorporation is the answer. It is particularly applicable in this region of Ontario with the large number of productive, highly capitalized farms. Incorporation has several advantages. It can freeze part of the farm asseta and thus control the size of the estate, It can facilitate the orderly transfer of the farm from one generation to the other. Other children can receive shares from the incorporated farm as their portion of the estate, Incorporation may cost $800 to $1200, It will require an accountant to look after the records and file the tax returns. But this can be an excellent investment. Don Hart, an estate conscious farmer from Oxford County, considers he needs three professionals on his estate planning team. These are a lawyer, an accountant, and an estate planner. The 3rd person could be from a trust or insurance company. Written questions were submitted to the speakers following their presentations. It was gratifying to see a number of professional people attending this meeting . . . lawyers, insurance representatives, bankers, etc. The symposium was arranged by D. A, McArthur, Head of the Farm Business Management Division at Centralia College. Local president congratulates Hill To the Farm Editor Dear Sir: I wish to congratulate Mr. Gordon Hill, Varna on some of the statements he made at the Can Crop banquet in Exeter last week, He said that farmers needed one orgariization of which 1 believe we all agree, as long as it is a farmer organization controlled by farmers. As Mr. Hill says it has to be aggressive and militant if the need arises. But these two necessities are not contained in the proposed General Farm Organization. These are two of the points that the Farmers' Union insisted upon in their negotiations with the federation of agriculture. For the diversified elements found in farming being held together in one organization Mr. Hill answered the question very well and the union has proved this very well. The only reason why all the farmers of this province don't belong to the union is that they are waiting for some miracle instead of getting behind their organization and making it work for them. I fully agree with Mr. Hill when he said the only thing standing in our way is farmers. The only thing holding the union back is farmers. The union has the potential, all it now needs is a good push from the farmers to get real concrete results. Jumping from one organization to another or trying to form another new one only tends fo confuse and divide farmers. I hope Mr. Hill sees fit to put his whole effort behind the organization he worked hard to build a few years ago and not support the federated general farm organization which can not possibly work to the farmers' advantage. Yours truly, Joe O'Neill President, Local 174 OFU RR 3 Lucan, Ont. At a meeting held between the Ontario Farmers' Union Provincial executive and Honourable Wm. A. Stewart, Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food, the Union requested that, should the Minister wish to conduct a vote on farm organization, the Union members want Plan A, the Union plan for one farm organization, placed on the Young join church By MRS.

After much discussion Mr. Stewart agreed that Plan A differed from the G.F.O. plan but he would not commit himself as to whether he would conduct a plebisite or put our plan on the ballot if he did call a vote. It is strictly up to the Minister if a vote is called. The Union executive received direction from all but one district director to adopt Plan A and oppose the G.F.O. committee to prevent the setting up of an organization that is nothing but an advisory board. It is the feeling of the Union that the vote being called is an expenditure of the farmers' money to hold back farmers and allow large corporations and chain stores to get a firmer grip on the agricultural industry. A hold that cannot be broken. FARMERS TAX SERVICE Box 35 Lucan Phone 227-4851 9 a.m. — 9p.m. ••••••*•:ik,' The average Canadian farmer feeds 45 persons.
