900 Acres in Canada.
A syndicate of Americans, led by L. II.
Hoard, of Nebraska, wealthy cattle
man. will establish the first bonanza
wheat farm in Canada between Craik and

the Canadian Pacific. Forty thousand
acres of land have been purchased at
an outlay of 500, 1000. and another $780,
900 has been set aside by the syndicate
for improvements that are to begin at
once. None OF the methods which made
the great wheat farms of North Dakota
famous have vet been applied in Canada,
and wheat raising has been confined ell
tirely to small areas and to the work of
small farmers.
The syndicate includes +. ]. Waddell,
of Aurora. Neb.. another wealthy cattle
man. and capitalists from Iowa and Illi-
nois. One whole township is to be con-
verted into a monster wheat field, and
the greater portion of township adjoin-
ing is also to become portion of the syI-
dicate's interests.
Mr.. Hoard and his associates will intro
duce steam plows and other modern ma
chinery. The syndicate will own its own
elevators. two of which are to be built
this fall at Garvin. in the center of the
new farm. 1t will also operate line ele
vators at adjacent points.
