FREEHOLD LAND
ESSENTIAL TO THE FARMER I Per Pres. Association.] WELLINGTON, March 24. “It is absolutely essential that we as a union should make every endeavour to see that all farmers should have the right to make their farms freehold,” said Mr J. Livingstone, of Dannevirke, chairman, at the New Zealand farmers' conference. “Any increment that results to the value of land through intensive farming should be the farmer’s, and be available to mortgage against further improvements. People don’t like to lend money on land at the present time, and most of our farms are deteriorating through lack of capital expenditure. That is where the fault lies, rather than in the inefficiency of the farmers.”
