Bank Helps Farmers
(By Federated Press)

Sydney, N. S. Wales-It is pre-
dicted that within ten years, the
Rural Bank, instituted by the labor
government of New South Wales to
assist farmers and settlers, will be
the largest financial institution in the
country.
Apart from help givin to settlers,
farmers and rural folk on the land
generally, the rural bank has been
of indirect value in that it has COM
PEELED the private-controlled banks to
desist from calling up farmers over
drafts and thus forcing the people off
the land
In those cases where mortgages
have been called up by the private
banks, as a first step towards dis
possessing struggling farmers, the
rural bank has stepped in, settled the
claims-taking over the liability in
order to save the farmers from ruin
at the hands of private financiers.
