STATE ADVANCES.
Sir, —Farmers should imitate city methods. The builders seem to have hit on the happy idea of distributing the money after being shipped in bulk from Wellington from the Advances office. May I suggest the Farmers' Union make the same offer. I hold that no loans to city workers aro justified so long as applications from farmers are declined. The Reform Party must face it otherwise farmers' votes will slide to a farmers' party. John Smith, farmer, needs £SOO to complete his improvements so as his holding will produce and thus swell our exports. The application is declined for " farm building " but John Smith reappears now comfortably clothed, well paid and in his right mind, " as a waterside worker, and easily gets £750 for a " town building." Who caused that drift? Mr. Coates we look to you. What are you going to do about it ? T. Wake. Riverhead.
