CANADA SOLDIERS
GO BACK TO LAND
Loan of More Than Fifty Mil
lions Bridges Post War Crisis.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 16.-Canada has
loaned $50, 10000 to enable nearly 1900
of her returned soldiers to settle on the
land.
Roughly, IS per cent of repartriated
members OF the Canadian expeditionary
force have applied for benefits under the
soldiers land settlement act. OF these
applicants-numbering 1876, according
to the latest returns-34,273 have had
their qualification certificates approved.
Having secured his qualification cerrifi-
cate a man looks for a desirable loca-
ton.
When he has found it he asks for his
loan. With so many qualification GER
tifcates approved it will not be long,
therefore, before the sum of Sj6,0OOOO0,
already. loaned will be considerably aug
mented. Actual soldier settlers under the
scheme now number $4,000.
SETTLEMENT BOARD
ONE OF IMPORTANCE.
The soldier settlement board (which is
charged with administration of the SOL
der settlement act) exercises n number
of important functions to enable the
soldier to become a farmer.
A sum Of 81 500 is set aside as the
maximum which may be borrowed from
the government for the purchase of land.
on which a cash payment of 10 per cent
is required. For the purchase of stock
and equipment, a further $4,000 is al
lotted and $1,000 is assigned as the max
imum loan for buildings and other per-
manent improvements. The maximum
loan per individual is, therefore, 81 500.
In addition to the money loans, 1900, =
600 acres of free lands had been dis
tributed among returned soldiers up to
the end of last month. The lands are
Dominion lands, situated in the four
western provinces. Each ex-service man
is entitled to 800 acres, as compared
with the 100 acres granted to civilians.
FORMER FIGHTERS ARE
TAUGHT FARMING.
With the exception of loans for live
stock and equipment, all loans bear 5
per cent interest and run for twenty-fiv
years. In the case of the $500 loan for
live stock and equipment, repayments
are made in four equal payments COM
mencing not later than three years from
the date Of advance. No interest charges
are made during the first two years on
loans for live stock and equipment.
Loans are not granted until the pros
pective farmer is able to show that he is
capable of owning and operating a farm.
To those without such qualifications,
courses in agriculture are offered Men
in training on a training farm receive
free board and allowance for depend
