they have to get arm at all hours of

job they do, stunebody is always coin-

Wingham, and we suppose that people

expect men of the department, appal--
to dig out the driveways by

The.fact is that salt and sand are

E, Cardiff, M. P. for Huron,
attacked the government's polieieff
regarding the Canadian Farm Loan
Act, in a debate in the House of
Commons, Ottawa, last week. Mr.
Cardiff called for a lowering of
the interest rate on farm loans of
from 0 to. 4 per cent, and asked
that the limit of 65% of the farm
evaluation be raised to 75% for the
purpose of grunting loans, Mr.
Cardiff pointed 'out that such act,-
ion would encourage more of the
younger people to start farming
by melting it Mier for them to
borrow money with which to start;
The test of Mr, Cardiff's apeeeh.
In the House was as follows:
'I intend to take just a very
few minutes to speak on this bill.
I think the •farnl loan board could
more popularly be called domin-
ion feria loena limited, because it
is so difficult to get a loan on
some of Fthese farms, In my part
of the country we haven lot of
young farmers who would stay on
the farm if they eould get started,
hut they find it very difficult to
get a loan, especially from the
dominion government, to enable
them to start.
"I am going .to have something
to say about the percentage rate
that is being charged but that is
not the hold-up. It is the fact that
these people just cannot get a loan.
because the restrictions • are too
great, and there is not enough
flexibility on the 'part of those
administering the loans, I do not
know why this should be SO, At, 5
per cent the rate is too high. There
Is no reason why these loans should

government just as cheaply as the
junior farm loan board of Ontario
makes them. That farm loan board
is doing much more business in
my part of tile country than the
dominion loan board.
"A few years ago this board was
practically dormant; it was not
doing any business, and I do not
know the reason for that. For sev-
eral years very little business was
done. Apparently they were sitting
hack trying to make collections on
the loans they had made years, ago:
Now we are in a position in some
places w'here the average age of
farmers is 60 and over, Why is
that? It is simply because boys are

the values .of farm properties have
been increasing every year for the
last ill years, so much so that they
are double what theY were 10 or 15
years ago. Therfore the govern-
ment has 'not been losing any
money on loans made on these
farms.
"The bill calls for a 05% limit on
the loan, It should be raised to 75
per cent, That would not be too
high, because a farmer would not
get any more than 50 per cent of
