several years ago-passed legislation
that will take care Of the discharged
soldier, who is DESTROYS Of going to
the open life on the farm. Under the

These loans are not only made for the
purchase Of land. but for the building
% houses. barns, etc. and the leveling
OF tEeir land. and in order 20 supply

In order 20 safeguard both the pro-
posed farmer and the government the
loans are made only after careful In
vestigation as TO the ability OF the ap-
plicant TO take care Of and operate
the farm inteIligently. Many OF the
applications for land made 10 these
countries that have already passed
such legislation. men have applied for
farm lands who have had practically
no knowledge OF the farming industry.
but have been imbued with a love OF
the farm from the open life they have
led on battle field and from a study
Of farming conditions IN Europe. In
