JOLTING THE FARMER.
(To 'the Editor.) in reference to the regrettable Incident mentioned by Mr Kenah on Mar oh 13 re the unfortunate girl who, owing to a jolt in the train, smashed a glass panel, the sequel was that she was charged 12s 6d. , This, I should say, was the .second jolt. However, your correspondent says he did not have first-hand information. Does he have any idea what the farming community are receiving? The slump of wool, butter, etc., the old struggling farmers who bought at inflated prices, who have tried and tried hard to meet the mortgagees’ demands, and who have increased production, worked up good herds, topdressed, and often run into debt to do same, finding at the finish that the mortgagee forcloses and gets a good proposition? In conclusion, I would like to say it is a pity a jolt is not like a boomerang, bo that Jt would finally hit the man who throws it.—l am, etc., FARMER.
