Smith says farm stabilization -program needed
Leader of the Liberal Party iro
Ontario, Dr. Stuart Smith, told
Annual Regional Individual
Service Membership (ISM) of the
Northeast and Fast Central
Huron Federation of Agriculture
on Tuesday night that a farm
income stabilization program
should not become an incentive to
over produce but be designed as
legislation to even out the peaks
and valleys in fluctuating
markets,
More than anything else, he
said, sueh a policy should
eliminate the disasterous losses
suffered periodically by farm
commodity producers.
"Farmers," Mr. Smith said,
"came to government in-
volvement in agriculture very
reluctantly. It is only because
inflation has hit farmers so hard
that we now have talk of farm
Set bait
for foxes
About 50,000 baits will be
distributed in the Wingham and
Owen Sound Districts this fall to
test different types of bait
material on wild foxes. One of the
main benefits will be to help
control rabies in Ontario's
wildlife, Natural Resources
Minister Leo Bernier announced
recently.
"The purpose of this program
is to develop a baiting system
capable of delivering biologically
active materials, such as vac-
cines, to foxes in the future," Mr.
Bernier said.
In the current program, both
ground and air placement will be
used by local -trappers and
Ministry fish and wildlife staff to
get the baits into areas inhabited
by foxes.
Fresh hamburger topped 38
baits in last year's tests. It was
best in all aspects but especially
lent itself to mass production,
The baits contain a small
amount ,of tetracycline, an
antibiotic commonly used for
controlling bacterial infecting.
When eaten, tetracycline enters
the circulatory system and is
deposited in the bones and teeth
of the animal. Tissues examined
under an ultraviolet microscope
fluoresce a golden-yellow color,.
Yellow fluorescence in bones and
teeth indicates that the animal
has eaten the bait.
Last year, 3b percent to 70
percent of the foxes examined
from different experimental
areas had eaten baits, This year's
aim is to increase the efficiency
of the baiting system and reduce
costs for the large-scale ap-
plication.
Each of the baits is marked
with a label which states: "Do
not open. Ministry of Natural
Resources. This bag contains bait
for foxes. It is not harmful to
animals or humans. When found,
please notify the local office or
phone for further information to:
Area 416-832-2261.".
Farmers have seen American
consumers nearly double pet.-
capita beef consumption since
1950. Besides that, we're still
adding 21 2 million consumers a
year, mostly because people are
living longer.
income stabilization."
Mr. Smith termed the
legislation to stabilize farm in-
comes which was introduced last
spring by the Davis government
"grossly inadequate."
"We had to oppose that law,"
he said. "We did. not want an
election over the issue, though we
may still get one, but we had to
oppose it."
He said the differences bet-
ween the various commodities
produced by Ontario farmers was
so large that what was needed was
"enabling legislation."
This legislation should be
produced by the federal govern-
ment, he said, but failing that "it
it up to the province."
The Liberalleader suggested to
the meeting that "maybe the
time has come for people in the
city to have some respect for food
and how it is produced." He said
he thought the time has come
when "we'll have to pay more for
our food so farmers can earn a
decent living."
"And I'm willing to say that in
the city as well as here," he told
the Federation members.
Speaking of the loss of farm
land to urban development he
rioted that "We can not save
every inch of farm land, lets be
honest about it, you have to build
houses somewhere, But lets save
as much as possible." centers where the farm land is
"Lets shift the urban growth to less valuable," he suggested.

"Why should people have to trek
to the city for jobs," he added.
"The Provincial Treasurer
says that people simply want to
live in the Toronto to Hamilton
region," he noted, "To that I say
hogwash.
In discussing the proposed
property tax reform legislation
for Ontario which would see the
government pick up the tab for
taxes on farm land while the
farmer paid taxes on only his
house and lot Mr. Smith said that
"It is a total misunderstanding of
the metality of the people in rural
Ontario and could only have
come from Darcy McKeough."
Farmers he said "do not want
handouts, or to become wards of
the state or to risk having 10
years back taxes fall on their
heads at some point in the
future."
"Let farmers make a decent
living and they will be happy to
pay their taxes," Mr. Smith
said,
He went on to charge that
passage of the legislation would
be one more step toward cen-
tralization and would give the
Province one more grip on the
small municipalities.
"How can you keep a check on
your local government under
such a system?" he asked.
Addressing himself to the issue
of milk quotas, Mr. Smith said
the production quota should be
averaged over the course of a
whole year and not enforced so
rigidly on a month to month
basis. "This is not a perfect
solution," he admitted, "but I
think it could help many."
He also suggested that the
IMPIP loan repayments should
be stopped until the present
difficult period is over. He said
such had been done for a few
months in the summer but that
the program should be continued
until this present situation was
resolved.
