federations an nual convention at toronto mr munro says houses superhighways and garbage dumps are taking some of the provinces best agricultural land he says farm representatives have a responsibility to see that each of these uses is concentrat ed on the land that is most suit ed to it specifically we must see that agriculture has a strong claim on the land it needs to feed the people of this province or else we will be left with the land no one else wants referring to the conventions theme farm for sale farm for rent mr munro says farm ers may have to change their at titude towards renting as one answer to the cost of land while it is traditional in our society that a man owns the land he works mr munro says rent ing has become a way of life in many parts of modern business he says renting is not the answer to all our problems but until we come up with some answers we will go on lacing tax loads on our property that are not related to its capacity to produce mr munro called on the con vention to explore fully the land use policies in ontario today and 6utline clearly the planning that will have to go into land use in the future mr munro referred specific

information it had collected over to the cbc for the film air of death premier robarts says priority given to protect farm land the premier of ontario says he gives highest priority to pro tecting agricultural land from disappearing under the sterile cap of concrete and blacktop speaking to the annual convention banquet of the ontario feder ation of agriculture premier john robarts said the province must get on with the job of controlling the uses to which land is put he says rural municipalities must plan their future the same way urban municipalities have to without planning the resources of our province will almost certainly be wasted he said a lot of education is necessary it people are to accept planning and the restrictions it will bring if planning is to have any meaning it must involve a willingness to cast aside what seems true today in the light of the changed conditions of tomorrow he said the question is whether we as a people with a huge stake in the future of this province can afford to sacrifice an or derly approach in the development of our land to haphazard indiv idual decisions we still have the opportunity to control our destiny we can still determine the best use to be made of our land we can still reverse the tide of pollution of our own making it is not too late but time is running out annual meeting name three to ofa since the countrys news
