In Quebee they havea banking
system of special benefit -to the
farmers. ‘Mr. Desjardins. says

system we must concede, was or-
ganized to meet the requirements
of manufacturing and commerce,
not those of agriculture. It is
strange that our far-seeing legis-
lators have not seen before this
that the banking system tells
against the farmer and against
the great basal industry of the
country.. The farmer needs long
credits to make the more costly
necessary improvements: which
are slow in bringing in returns,
He needs also short time credits
to help him market his produce

period. Such credits are now:
hard to secure and only at a high
rate of interest.

“Now is the time for the gov-
ernment to come to the farmers’
assistance, especially when he is
being asked ta increase’ produe-
tion of grain and live-stock. The
country will not be satisfied until
it has a banking system adapted

viding, first, long, term payments
