Us. grains just as much as it holds
true for the dairy farmer, the
beef feedlot operator, the pork
producer and all other farmers
in Canada. The price of feed
grains is certainly high today--
I won't argue, about 'that. If you
are going to stay in the livestock
business over the long haul,
you're going to need a steady,
adequate supply of feed grains,
and the only way you can guar-
antee that' supply is to pay a
decent price so farmers will
produce the' volume and quality
you demand."
Mr.. Whelan spoke of a pro-
posed new policy on which he
would like to get a reaction
because he wanted to know if'it
would work. He said p.'1 of
his ,:proposal was to encourage
feed grain production in the areas
where the grain is used. In the
case of Huron Count3r that means
right here where you have live-
stock, he said. His proposal was
that the federal people would sit'
down with the provinces .to,,,take
a look at the potent to grow
feed grains locally and offer
help such as cash advances,
storage , handling, processing
and marketing:

The Hon. Eugene F. Whelan;
Federal Minister of Agriculture,
said Thursday in Goderich that
Japan is interested in signing a
food marketing contract with
Canada that would guarantee pro-
ducers prices that would rise to
keep pace with increases in pro-
duction costs.
Speaking to the 400 guests at
the annual meeting of the Huron
County Federation of Agri”-
culture, Mr. Whelan said he had
met with the Agriculture Minister
of Japan earlier that day in Ottawa
and would return to Ottawa
following his talk to meet with
him again Friday.
He said the contract would
likely involve most foodstuffs
produced in Canada, especially
pork, of which Japan is a main
consumer.
"Japan wasn't interested two
years ago, but they are now."
He added that no agreement would
be made with Japan without con-
sulting the provinces.
Mr. Whelan then progressed
to his prepared speech following
this introduction to it which ..in-
eluded an offer to work with Bob
McKinley (MP for Huron) who
sat in a front seat, to help fix
up the Goderich airport. He
said jokingly he was able to fly
in to Goderich but could not .fly
out after dark, and would have to
drive to London to catch an air-
plane for his return to Ottawa.
"I think that everyone re-
cognizes that farmers need a
decent price for their products.,
he said " or they will simply
quit producing. That holds true
for the farmer who produces feed
Brussels
will lose
tax money
more than.$1,000 in tax revenue
Brussels will lose • a' little
this year as a result of changes
in the manner in which telephone
taxes are calculated.
In 1972-.Maitland Teleseryices
Ltd. paid $2806 in taxes. This
year the amount is $1803.
While Brussels revenue is
down , all other area munici-
palities will receive larger
amounts. In total the company
will pay out more than double
he amount paidin 1972. t it
The change, legislated by the
Ontario Government, means
m.T.g, will pay $9,253 this year,
compared to $4,227 in 197.2.
Gross receipts taxes are a
form of municipal tax levied
against telephone and telegraph
companies in Ontario communi-
ties. These' utilities pay the
taxes in addition to real esta4
