Exeter Grand Bend By ADRIAN VIDS When you read this column it wilt be the year of our Lord 1975 and with all the concerns I bave expressed in the past year, we are all grateful that we were'able to provide for so many the food that is needed to help keep us ail healthy. Our fond hope is, that we may continue to do so for a long time. We hope that society in this new year will come to their senses, and help us to conserve land that is so sorely needed in the future, not only to feed those that are starving now, but also to feed our own country when the population increases to the level that is predicted for the next twenty five years. We wish all of you, farmer and non-farmer alike, a healthy and prosperous New Year. We wish for an end to the troubled economiclimes and for an end to the crop disasters that plagued this world in the last year. I wish us all working together to make this a better world to live in, with Faith and Hope and Charity. We as farmers have faith and hope, or else we wouldn't be farming, for the farmer is always saying after a poor crop "Well, next year has to be better." Some even say that to be a farmer you have to have charity as well, for who else will give so much for so little. Did you know that Canada's trade balance with the world is as big as the farm exports? Yes, that's true. We export about $750 million of farm products and our favourable trade balance is about the same. I am proud to say that we, being only five percent of the population, make it possible for the other ninety five percent to have the high standard of living we enjoy.

Licensing and Livestock and Poultry Protection Act have been announced by the Minister of Agriculture and Food, the Hon. Wm. A. Stewart. Under Bill 143, compensation payments have been eXtended to inetude, injury to liveStock or poultry injured or .killed by. wolves as well as dogs. Local municipalities colleCting dog taxes will now pay compensationo for both wolf and dog- damage'. while the Government of Ontario'' will reimburse municipalities for wolf damages claims paid out, In making the announcement Mr. Stewart said, "Through the privisions of this Bill, we have streamlined the procedure whereby a farmer can be com- pensated for livestock and poultry losses sustained by wolves or dogs. I am confident this Bill will remove- the con- fusion surrounding payment of claims based on either wolf or dog activity. The question of hybrid dogs or coyotes causing damage should no longer be of concern to the farmer - all forms of injury or death will now be compensated through a central source." . The Livei,Stock Commissioner of Ontarid will make grants available to reimburse municipalities for payments for damages caused by wolves. The Commissioner may refer an application by a municipality for a grant for wolf damages to the newly created Wolf Damage Assessment Board. In any event, the owner sustaining losses will be compensated even if the ap- plication for municipal reimbursement is forwarded to the Commissioner for a review. The powers of the local dog catcher have been extended under . the Act to include the impounding of 'dogs "running at large" to cover private property if permission is received from the owner. Previous to the amend- ments a dog catcher could only impound animals found in a high- way or other public place and not under control of any person. In a new Part III of the Act which was added by Bill 143, provisions are made for com- pensation to beekeepers if a colony of honeybees is damaged or destroyed by bears. Payments shall not exceed $50 for the hive equipment and $25 for the honeybees. All claims in this regard would be directed to the Livestock Commissioner of Ontario. "With the new amendments we feel farmers will be compensated for injuries to livestock or poultry caused by wolves, dogs or crossbreds. Prior to this there was no vehicle available for receiving recompense where hybrids wolves were involved," added Mr. Stewart. 111.111111=1111111•11111111101111•11111111211111116.
