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

Funeral service was held

late Allan McGregor McKercher
of Jamestown. Mr. Wayne
Baswick of Knox Presbyterian
Church, Bluevale officiated at
2:00 p.m. ,Temporary interment

do? It is quite possible that the
farmer will be forced out of the
livestock business. 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.
