"It is :liscriminatory and un-
just for tamers to have to pay a
larger percentage of the up-
coming, price hike announced
this week, than city-dwellers,
says Gordon Hill, President,
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture,
Hill refers to Ontario Hydro's
recent announcement that ef-
fective January 1, 1974, farmers
will pay an average of 10 percent
more for their hydro. The in-
crease will very between eight
and 16 percent. Most urban-
dwellers will pay an increase of
seven and one-half percent.
"Farmers use one heck of a lot
of hydro in this province. In 1972,
we spent $14,236,000. Then, this
past February rates went up
about 10 per cent, Now, in less
than a year, farmers are hit with
a second increase. These two
increases alone will add more
than one and one-half million
dollars to the cost of producing
food, before the produce
even leaves the farm.

come in from the barn, the price
of another input has jumped by
five percent, 10 percent, or
sometimes more. There is a
limit to the number of price
increases that farmers can ab-
sorb, and we have long passed
that limit."
Hill says the hydro increase
will mean another round of price
hikes at the supermarket.
"Consumers too have their
limit as to how much they will pay
for food. When Ontario Hydro is
subsidized by taxpayers, both
consumers and farmers need and
deserve a very thorough
justification for this 20 percent
increase inside of one year,"

District white bean farmers
are this week receiving their final
payment on the 1972 crop,
The Ontario Bean Producers
Marketing Board is making a
final payment of $2.14 per 100
pounds to producers for their last
year's white beans bringing the
total grower return to $9.15 per
100 pounds.
Under the board's agency
system, it makes an initial
payment of $5.76 per bag at the
time of delivery, an interim
payment in April and the final
payment when the entire crop is
sold.
While 1973 crop beans are
currently, selling at over $40 a
bag, growers have only received
the $5.76 initial payment, They
will get their interim payment in
April but won't receive the final
return until next fall.
Just prior to this year's har-
vest, beans were selling at $17 to
$18 per bag but have since soared
to the $40 level due to an in-
creasing world demand for

While the final return to
growers for the 1973 crop won't be
known until next fall, it is exp-

beans sold are figured out.

them.
So far, the bean board has sold
356,050 bags of 1973 crop beans on
the domestic market and another
793,270 on the export market, The
The move followed a debate
which indicated the salaries
varied and that one of the in-
structors had actually ended up
getting a decrease in pay this
year.
Bruce Shaw suggested an
hourly rate should be set to apply
for all persons involved in in-
struction in such avtivities as
ballet and gymnastics.

at 1.6 million bags, down about
225,000 bags from the previous

increased fees and numbers
enrolled, the club expected a
deficit of $1,000.
In a report on ice rental at the
arena, Willert said it would work
out to about 80 more hours than
last year, despite the fact several
London organizations had not
booked the local facility in view
of the increased number of
arenas available in London.
The local arena manager noted
that many area arenas were
finding it difficult to overcome
the loss of rental time to London
organizations.
