A FARMER'S BAD LUCK.
■ ONE OF MANY CASES. 7 : By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Not all farmers are making a good thing out of the war, and some appear to be worse off now than they were before. In a letter addressed to the Land Board to-day asking for postponement of rent, the settler said, "We received no money from our woo!, oving to our stock being mortgaged to for .Canon." The settler's wool brought OJd per lb, being Bold early in the year, but apparently he did not handle the money. He had a bad season last year, and lost 1000 sheep. What were sold realised 14s per head, and when he came to buy he had to pay .CI 7s for ewes' and wethers, and £1 3s for hoggets. The Board, which had other information besides the settler's statement to go upon, decided to recommend the Minister to allow postponement' of rent due, the settler to have the alternative of adding the rent due to the capital vain, under the provision of section 5 of the Land Laws Amendment Act of 1915.
