Loans might ho made non-traneferable, except with the consent of the Horticultural Department ; loans might he for shorter periods: the regular inspection ot orchards, inspectors having certain powers of control, and an insurance fund against loss, compiled by charging a slightly higher rate of interest on loans; special consideration to districts run on co-operative lines.
