afraid of hard work. The farms are
40 and so acres, and larger. The soil
is a rich clay loam-no sand. There
are good roads, schools, farmers clubs
and two railroads running through the
heart of the colony. Many men have
investigated and applied for farms IL
this colony, and these numerous se.-
tiers can now be seen on their new
farms.
FORTUNE HUNTERS BARRED
The kind of settlers wanted are the
good hard working farmer tyne who
want to own their own tarms. So it
was decided that the SIM of $500 per
forty would be required as deposit
against the buildings and stock that is
furnished, although no payment is re-
quired on the land until the end of
three years. This plan keeps out I'M
desirables and has brought the best
type of settlers to the colony.
These farms are provided with ev-
erything ready for the farmer to make
his start-all that you are asked TO
do is to settle them. House. barn.

once to develop your dairy farm.
VALUATION AVERAGES $4,000
These farms are all given a per
acre valuation before you go on them.
They average about $50 to S35 an
acre, although farm experts declare
them to be as productive as a,'v of the
diary lands in the famous old settled
districts of Wisconsin. Farms Dor
dering on the tract are already up to
$3.50 per acre.
In a very few years, these farms
when settled and developed will be
worth many times the value put upon
them now. 1t is then that the settler
is given an opportunity to pay for his
farm-at the original low value plac-
ed on it now. After your farm has
increased in value; after you have In

pigs; after you are raising larger
crops of potatoes and grain; after you
are an independent farmer-then you
are to pay back the cost of your farm

$35 per acre, plus the cost of the ORR
ginal buildings and stock furnished

farmer starts small yearly INSTALL
ments that he can easily handle.
Nc man is allowed to make appli-
cation for farm in this colony unless
he goes first to Ladysmith to pick it
out for himself. Then, if he investi-
gates and decides to take a farm, the
settler states when he intends to re-
turn to start farming. When he re-
turns, his buildings are ready for him.
