is widespread interest in dairying
among the settlers Unfortunately
many OF the settlers are without the
necessary capital to purchase good
dairy stock and for the time being

age crops A large number OF these
settlers are trying to operate more
land than their means will permit,

I ing are DESTROYS of subdiyiding their
farms in order to get money for the
purchase OF stock This has placed
on the market a considerable area OF

all OF the government land has been
taken up. The prices and terms offer
ed are more on the basis OF the need
for money than on actual value, and
offer excellent opportunities for ex-
perienced dairy men to establish
themselves in communities where the
success Of their enterprise Is prac

sections where good land suited fol
