Mr. MacLean pointed out that cnly four per cent of tho total amount of Federal farm loans had been applied to improvement of farm buildings and fences. drain- age. plumbing. heating and sewage disposal units. Of the grand total, 92 per cent of the money borrow- ed went for farm machinery and four per cent for purchase of live- stock.

Farm loans made under the Veterans Land Act include those for lime and he felt this provision should apply equally to other federal loans. . ' Mr. Macbean observed that more use of the farm loans act is made in Prince Edward Island than in any but the Prairie Provinces. Jean Lesage, parliamentary es- sistant to Finance Minister Ab- bott, said the department would have to be satisfied that applica- tion of the lime to the land was a permanent improvement.
