Tree Farmer W*ins .Tax Appeal Tree farmers in Ontario do not have the, sympathy of the tax assessors although they can fit within any def- inition of a "farmn" as defined by federal or provincial tax au thorities. This information was revealed at the Ontario Professional Foresters Assoc-. iation seminar on "The Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Forest" held at Dorset, March 25 -27. A recent appeal in income tax assessment was decided in favour of the tree farmner in the Federal Court of Can- ada. The owner was upheld in his dlaim for the right to charge current costs against other income while waiting for income on.his crop. The judge said, "It takes time for trees to grow". Professor D.V. Love of University of Toronto's Faculty of Forestry reported that recent application of assessment procedures have shown that in some munici- palities land used for tree farms is not assessed as farm land but as rural-residential with an assessment often ex- ceeding 10 tîmes that of sim- ilar lands used for conven- tional farming. About 40,000 woodlot owners in Ontario may be faced with these increases in taxes. Mr. Jim King, General Manager -of Sklar Furniture Co., incticated that improve- ments in the methods of harvesting trees and cutting logs into wood for furniture wil resuit in a 50% increase. in the amount of uisable lum- ber derived from our stands of hardwoods. David Bruce, President of the Ontario Professional For- esters Association, observed that the cut over torest areas wifl be left in a condition much more acceptable to those concerned with forest aesthetics. Much of the un- sightly debris now left in the woods after logging will be removed and utilized. The natural recovery of*the areas wil be speeded up.' He also expressed concern that unrestricted logging on private woodlots may ser- iously deple te Ontario's hard- wood forests unless govern- ment action defines minimum- standards of forest maniage- ment.
