The desire to 'have a bit of land they can call their own’ has led to tragedy in the homes of too many of those who bought, farms op an instalment principle .which gave them a negligible interest. This imposed on them a heavy mortgage, and left them no money to develop their sections In a manner that would permit them to meet interest, to say nothing of gradually reducing the burden. If this fsi all the Government intends to dp this session to afford relief for the struggling farmers, and to' restore! confidence in farming as an industrjr heaven help the country!”
