Affects quota sales Farmers hear tax changes There were also problems with partnerships, he said and ex- plained he thought it was better to draw up a working agreement rather than a full partnership. No matter whether it is in- corporation or partnership, however, he urged farmers to seek a good lawyer in drawing up agreements so they could pay the least possible taxes. HFA President Doug Fortune, in his remarks, said he thought all farmers should be "very concerned over what is being done to agricultural land in Huron." He said that at the hearings into the Ontario Hydro Transmission line last week more than 200 persons attended with the farmers' side really being brought out at the Wednesday session in Wingham.

By ADRIAN V05 I received a little pamphlet the other day from Alberta. I don't know the organization producing it, but I think it is the Alberta government. It is so good that I will just copy most of it. So here goes. A farmer's wife gets just as upset about food prices as you do: It's true: Not everything a farm wife serves her family is produced right on the farm. And so she feels the crunch at the check-out counter just as much as you do. Besides, she has another reason fix being upset; she knows how little of each food dollar her husband receives. Take bread for example, The farmers' share of a loaf of bread is only about three cents. And the farm wife, knows that the supermarket employee earns about twice as much as her husband does. Where does the food dollar go? Why do food bills keep climbing? It's because a lot of things happen to the food between the farmer and you - processing, grading, packaging, tran- :sporting, delivering, wholesaling, advertising, market reporting, retailing. Let's look at our example again. It takes about one pound of wheat to make one pound of bread. Although wheat flour is the main constituent of bread, the cost of the wheat has little to do with establishing the cost of the bread. It's the handling, tran- sportation, milling, baking, etc. that make up the main part of the cost. It's all part of the marketing system and it all adds to the cost of getting the food from the farmer to the super- market shelf. And supermarket and selfserve stores actually save you money by handling food in such large volume, Let's look at another reason why your food bill keeps rising. For one thing, the more income you have, the more you spend on food. This doesn't mean you necessarily buy more food. Usually you buy more of the expensive kinds of food, tender steak, vegetables and fruits out of season, and convenience foods. After reading this you probably won't feel any better about food prices, especially today. But we wanted you to know that farm families are just as concerned as you are. Remember, you and the farmers wife are in the same boat; it keeps on costing more. Ostswis... 010.000100001 ............................ HURON FEDERATION MEETS — The March meeting of the Huron Federation of Agriculture was held qt South Huron District High School, Thursday night. Shown in the above picture are from the left Osborne Huron county farmers were told Thursday night in Exeter that three changes in the past year in tax regulations have helped them. William McEachern of the District Taxation Office in Kit- chener told members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture at the regular monthly meeting that one of these changes effects taxes on the sale of a quota, Formerly, he explained, sale of a quota was treated as income and taxed at the regular rate. Now, he said, the farmer selling a quota can deduct the' market value of the quota at Dec. 31, 1971 from the sale value and only pay taxes on the remainder. A second change, he said, ef- fectsfarmersselli ng stock to enter another form of farming. Nor- mally a farmer selling off a beef herd to go into hogs, for example would have to call the money form the sale "income." Now, however, such a farmer can have until the February of the year following the sale to invest the money in an annuity and thus pay taxes only on the yearly income from the annuity, not the full sum. The third change, he said, involved use of livestock as in- ventory in poor farming years so the farmer could increase his income for purposes of paying into the Canada Pension Plan. Mr. McEachern warned far- mers to have a good long look at the benefits before deciding to incorporate their farm. He warned that incorporation, in some cases, brought more harm than benefit. If a farm is incorporated, he explained, the company must declare personal benefit for the owners on the use of cars and the house, On cars, he pointed out, this amounted to one percent of the value of the car per month for each of the owners who had ac- cess to the use of the car. This would mean that a husband and wife in a coporation would each pay one percent per month even if one or the other hardly ever drove the car., Incorporation also meant the loss of the $1000 per year capital gains writeoff on the farm house, he said. Farmer's wife also upset over price rise Weed control in corn starts here NOW ................................ .11,00 010011101000 ......
