Adrian Vos We all heard a lot lately about he preservation of agricultural :and, land use planning and the restrictions that can be placed upon the livestock man by the encroachment of urbanites in rural' areas. It seems that many farmers themselves don't see the danger of this encroachment. Often they are the ones who want non-farm residences built on their land in order to get a fair sum of- money, which will benefit them in the short run, so they can pay off a good part of their mortgage or pay for that expansion they have in mind. 'In other cases it is the retiring farmer who wants to stay close to the place whre he has lived most of his life and wants to sever a piece of land to build his retirement home. Both cases are shortsighted. The farmer who wants the money for expansion is really painting himself into a corner. It's possible that the people who build in the first place won't object to the odours from his livestock, but who can promise what the next owner will ALLAN McGREGOR McKERCHER Funeral service was held Thursday, March 27 at M L Watts Funeral Home ; Brussels for the late Allan McGregor McKercher of Jamestown.

This has been proven last month in the Niagara area, where a chicken farmer will have to spend $27,000 for elaborate pollution control equipment or lose his business, by court order. When a.person buys a piece of land he has by law the right to enjoy that land, and if odours prevent him from this enjoyment he can force the livestock man out of business. If the retiring farmer severs a corner of his land, it is unlikely that he will sue his son for country smells, but if and when he dies or moves to the old folks home, the house will be sold and lie did his son or the chap he sold the farm to a real disservice because of the severance. If he wants to retire without having to buy an expensive lot in the village, he can make arrangements with the person buying the farm, be it his son or a stranger, to build a house without a severance. This way the house will remain part of the farm and it precludes future troubles. was a member of Knox Presby- terian Church, Bluevale.
