BRITISH AGRICULTURE.
COMPLETE NEW SCHEME. MONEY TO GROW THINGS. LONDON, January 31. The "Daily Express" understands that Cabinet is likely to adopt a new. farreaching agricultural policy, based on the formation of a central land mortgage corporation, formed with the cooperation of the joint-stock banks, to provide credits on a national scale for farmers upon securities like crops, which the banks have hitherto not accepted. The Government will seek to develop agriculture on similar methods to those employed on the Continent, of small holdings in fee simple. There will be comprehensive land drainage and reclamation schemes, and the opening up of large areas for cultivation.
The proposals will be on a scale calculated to affect the whole future of British agriculture.— (A. and N.Z Cable.)
