TNTERESTED as I am In the “ Trials of a Land Agent ”


■(“Advertiser & Times, July 8th), I should be glad if ytfu would grant me space in your post coluriin to make clear


what “ State Aid” means. Granted, land agents, as such, offer useful service to the com­ munity. (What they receive Jn that occupation Is their wag^s. It Is land ownership that' 'is the thorn in the side of agri­ culture.


J.P., for many years on the- Executive Committee of the Scottish National Farmers’ Union, and a practical tenant- farmer of 30 years’ experience Is a. formidable critic bf current political schemes for agriculture; he wrote in one of. his.articles: “ I want neithfer tariffs nor State aid—all I atk is protection f r om land­ lordism.”


Capt. Arthur R. McDougal, Now, when it Is known that


the present so-called Socialist Government intend to lea'jre things as they are as regards land tenure and with ' the pressing needs of the corii- munlty, the price of agricul­ tural ■ land Is increasihg:' rapidly, therefore, its annual value (rent) increases. That people make offers for posses-, Sion of farms merely fot living accommodatlbh proves hbw desperate is the housing question, and fundamentally the Ja'nd question..
