"o \ _ Ontario farmers need not lose hope Ibecause of the decision to halt loanâ€" | ing money. It is believed the Ontarâ€" io government is formulating its agâ€" ricultural policies on the basis of a change of government at Ottawa. The | Ontario loans are at 5 per cent and | the Federal board loans money at 5%4%. Obviously this is too high an interest rate and undoubtedly it will be lowered if a Liberal administraâ€" tion is formed at Ottawa. _ _A rotating system of employment | will give work to 25,000 men in norâ€" thern Ontario this winter. The Federâ€" ‘al government‘s refusal to contribâ€" ‘ute to major proposals along the Transâ€"Canada Highway has thrown the full responsibility back on the \Mepburn â€" government.

New applications for loans will be considered by the board and approxâ€" imately 900 applications which were reviewed and approved by the old board are now being dealt with. These applications have been investâ€" igated again and in numerous cases the amount of loans approved of by the former board have been reduced considerably. In many cases the apâ€" proval has been cancelled. |_ Very little has been told about the | work of the board under W. B. Road:â€" | house, who was ousted by the presâ€" ent administration. But it is learned on the highest authority that no deâ€" partment of government in the proâ€" \vince has been so mismanaged as "has the farm loan board. Of the $54,000,000 loaned since the board was created by" the Drury â€" governâ€" mept in 1920, $40,000,000 was loaned to farmers in the past four years. And the vast majority of the 18,000 loans made since 1920 should never have been given, it is claimed, It is now considered doubtful whether the province _ will recover even half of the $54,000,000.
