mumva Evans opposed to landfreeze Ry ARTHUR EVANS MPP Simcoe Centre Ina recent report tried to point out that comprehensive land freeze to save quality far mland would be worse than the disease gt To save 32 million acres of toodgrowing land is to in terfere drastically with the delicate buyer and seller realtionships of the market place Massive state in tervention in the marketplace does guarantee absoluter that the productive capacity of On tarios farmers will be severely restricted by new host of governmental restrictions and directives If you examine the food growing capacity of certain totalitarian nations such as the Sltv1et Union the state of that comtrys agriculture is nothing short of national disaster An outstanding Canadian futirist John Kettle in the May issue of Executive Magazine observed The 1975 crop was the same size as the whth crop of 1913 the pre revdutionary base year that Soviet statisticians used to quote to demonstrate progress under Communism If that is the state of progress in totally planned economy then the Soviets are going nowhere last They have essentially stoodstill for the past 62 years Nobody can take any solace in this fact or in the fact that the Russians have continually relied upon the vitality and great productive capacity of Canadian farmers and in par ticular Prairie farmers What happens down the road if world drought occurs llllSTRTION have used Soviet agriculture as an illustration of what massive state in tervention can do to inhibit and Meeting set by Clowes WI By MRS JOHN McLEAN EDGAR The Clowes Womens

IMPROVEMEN to hinder the productive capacity of farming rather than to foster climate of incentives to help the arming community can already hear the loud objections of the armchair farmers that have distorted their position with misleading information They are arguing that Canadian agriculture can not be used as the shining light of the free enterprise system havent set out to defend the private productive capacit of Ontarios farmers nor to eny that our agriculture needs sub sidies and quotas to cushion it against overproduction That is not what is at stake What we are taking dead aim at is the artificial argument that the only salvation for Ontarios foodlands is to freeze them for all time for agricultural use Its phony argument which is so simplistic in its daring that it defies comprehension No total land freeze on foodlands is the worst solution of any set of solutions Like lot of things in life the issue is neither black nor white but that indefinable gray which wears the patience of the arm chair farmer desirous of ut ting into effect the eal solution as they term it The Ontario Government has gone down number of other roads to resolving this matter For example Ontario by this autumn will have com lete uptodate catalogue the provinces land resources by county In this way we will have the capacity to note any basic changes in the pattern of ownership As number tWo step major planning studies have been completed for Simcoe HaldimandNorfolk Nor thumberland and Simcoe Coun ties The purpose of the studies is to contain urban growth sup port those communities highly dependent upon agriculture and to preserve good farmland This planning process was practicalrexample of munici palprovincial cooperation As number three step the agriculture and food ministry is spending $250000 on research projects in land use at the University of Guelph We believe that the results of these studies will prove most useful in developing good Ianduse practices The fourth way of protecting farmlands is in developing guidelines through the ministrys foodlands develop ment branch The basic prin ciple underlying these guidelines is that urban development should not occur on good farmlands Any new housing or the location of in dustry should use up existing land within the municipal boun daries of community rather than outside those boundaries When that choice is unavailable grouping of development is prefeiaable to scatteringover thatlan As fifth step Ontario is Working with the ederal gover nment in updating 50115 classification in the province at the University of Guelph MARKET VALUE As sixth step market value on real property will become the abiding principle in 1978 Farmland will be taxed at 100 per cent but the full amount of the tax Will be paid by the province farm residence will be taxed at 50 per cent for which the farmer will be responsible in paying In this way the amount of property tax paid by producing farmers will be considerably reduced and farm production remarkably increased As seventh step the Ontario Government has initiated an in dustrial park program with specific emphasis on the north and east parts to stimulate new economic growth and to relieve pressures on good farmland All of these means of protec ting farmland may not catch headlines but they are practical and useful ways of balancing conflicting uses of our land resources instead of resorting to total land freeze Good tourist trade commended by Smith By GORDON SMITH MPP Simcoe East The province of Ontario has many natural and manmade resources that attracts people from all over the world but suppose more particularly the United States and our sister provinces throughout the province of Ontario as well as visitors at home who travel to other parts of the province As result the private business sector as well as the general economy of the provin ce is greatly supported or enhanced by the tourist in dustry The province of Ontario can spend many dollars at home and abroad in at tempting to support the tourist industry However it is up to the in dividuals involved in the in dustry to provide the at tractions and good ac by the Antique Auto Ilub of America This tour attracted people from as far away as California and Florida to the OrilliaMidlandBarrie area many of whom were visiting Ontario and Huronia for the fir
