THE CAPITALISATION OF STATE LOANS
TO TUB EDITOR. Sib, —What Mr James Begg said to the farmers seems to one who is not a farmer to. be a reflection on farmers. It has point if it could be shown that an appreciable percentage of farmers used money got under the Advances to Settlers Act, not to develop their farms, but to place themselves in nn advantageous position ipr' selling the farms. If that has been so the remedy would appear to be to see strictly how the money lg applied in future. It will not do to stop advancing to settlers to develop their farms There is more to bo said for that now than ever. There is too little disposition on the part of the people at large to invest money, not only in farming, but in industry of any kind.—l am, etc.. J. M. August 10.
