SOLDIER FARMERS
WHANGAMOMONA DISTRICT. SIX SETTLERS WALK OFF. (By Telegraph. —Special to "Stai.") STRATFORD, this day. A startling example of the financial difficulties with which farmers are faced at the present time is afforded by recent events "in the Whangamomcna district, where, during the month of June, six settlers were compelled to walk off their farms. The remaining settlers are, in many cases, in difficulties also, and their condition is so serious that a deputation went to Wellington on Tuesday to endeavour to induce the Government to render some assistance, such as the waiving of arrears of rent and interest.
