Drought Relief Bill Explain Provisions by Minister Lind

In moving the second reading Mr Lind outlined how the 600000 pounds for drought relief would be distributed. The Commonwealth funds to the Board of Land and Works will aid Victorian farmers with no repayments for three years, then four equal annual payments. Interest is paid by the Commonwealth for the first year and half for the next six. Farmers may repay after the 1940 41 harvest to avoid liens on crops. Advances carry 42 percent interest under the Farmers Advances Act. The bill covers seed fertilisers fodder wages living costs and livestock agistment in drought affected cases, with the act remaining in force for other hardships. Approximately 3000 primary producers statewide need aid, with the Board empowered to assess merit on a case by case basis. The measure targets necessitous drought cases for loans to purchase stock, equipment, fodder, or pay wages and living costs, with security arrangements possible on existing advances.
