American Loan to Queensland

Sydney, New South Wales, Jan. g.
The American loan of 100000 to
Queensland Is merely a prelude to an
Important financial transaction be-
tween the United States and Queens
land, according to the opinion ex-
pressed today in well-informed cir
cles here.
1t was pointed out that Premier
Theodore of Queensland contemplates
a trip to America soon, to raise an
additional loan, primarily for the ac-
";s'tion Of the Brisbane tramways
and the establishment of state steel
and iron works at Bowen.
Although it is believed that the
loan could be obtained in America at
TIE interest rate Of the recent loan,
it is considered doubtful whether Pre-
MGR Theodore, despite the need of his
government for financial aid, would
be prepared to pay the per cent rate
Of the former obligation.
Very little of the $12,000,000 loan
will be available for expenditure in
Queensland when London commit
mcnts have been met, 1t was said.

Active Campaign Launched

Columbia, Jan. 2.-Backed by the
endorsements of the executive coun.
Gil and agricultural committee of the
South Carolina Bankers Association
and four of the district groups of the
association, and by leading farmers
and business men in every county, d
very active campaign for signatures
to the cotton cooperative marketing
contract will be launched in January
in practically every cotton-growine
county in the state. The campaign
will continue until contracts repre-.
senting 100000 bales are signed up
The organization committee has un.
til May in which to sign the neces.
sary number but hopes to be able
to get the number long before that
date.
Harry G. Hammer, president of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers Coop
erative Association, said Saturday
that Col. Clarence Ousley Of Texas
formerly assistant secretary of agri-
culture, DR.. Bradford Knapp, Arkan-
sas, and Clarence Poe of North Caro-
lima would probably speak in the state
some time in January or February
and other well known authorities on
cooperative marketing of cotton will
also be invited to speak to the people
Of the state.
Reports from Texas, Mr.. Hammer
said, tell of the continued satisfaction
of the farmers Of that state with the
results being obtained through the
Texas association which is handling
this years crop in that state.

Canadian Soldiers
Settle on Farm

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Twenty-seven
thousand Canadian soldiers haze been
settled on farms by the Canadian gov
ernment and SJ,O00,0OO have been
loaned to these men by their govern

Horse Association of America here by
John Barnett, Chairman of the Sol
diers' Settlement Board cf Canada.
aggregated roughly this means
that we have placed a population OF
125 600 people on these lands" he
said.
"Our settlers have been settle,
partly on free crown lands, and partly
on lands purchased by this boz rd az,
re-sold to him. In no case has Il set
tier been required to possess more
than $500. We have, therefore, ed
vanced practically the full purchas,
price of the lands we have bought
and in addition have advanced up tc
So 600 for permanent Improvements
such as buildings, fencing, ETC., ano
stock and equipment.
"The risk is necessarily great, but
has been taken largely as rc-cs
tablishment venture.
"We have been in operation Owe
three years, and the national results
are already very great. Some G00OOf
acres that were previously raw anf
entirely uncultivatcd. have bee
brought under cultivation. Last yea
soldier settlers produced field crop,
worth easily $4,000 600, to whcl
must be added the value of the in.
crease in stock and the value OF
poultry end dairy products.
"Out Of the SS50O0 900, alread'
expended, so 100000 has been re
turned to the public treasury. OF du,
payments, more than 80 per cent wa
paid

have abandoned their efforts repre-
sents per cent of our aggregate sc
tlemcnt. In the cases of abandon
ment, and despite the collapse in mar
kets, we haze salvaged and fovcclosc;
more than 500 cases representing a.
investment Of more than $4,000, 0OC

Mr.. Barrett in his letter mon sion.
that the power furnished these farm
ers has, in a great majority of tt
cases been horses, preferably mare.
He says:
with the shortage of personal cap
ital, each settler had to be furnishc
with such power equipment as wou|
enable replacement with practically n
cash outlay. This meant supplyin
as largely rs possible to our settler
mares. in hope that the increase woul
in time provide not merely the ne"es
sary rep!acements, but also afford
source Of revenue.
"Feed can be obtained from tn
farm itself, and no monetary outla,
is involved Power machinery, w
felt, would involve for upkeep an
fuel supply, cash outlay that fe'
settlers could be reasonably eXpectc
to meet
"We felt, also that the use of hors
power, rather than motor power
would en0ble our settlers to utiliz
