That couple were Lord and Lady Rodney,

wanted to learn to make Q living from the soil.
Every year the British Government sent
check for $4,000 to the baron. That annuity
had been running since 1852, when Admiral
Rodney defeated the entire French Meet on
Jamaica. As o reward there was the an

q profitable undertaking. Blooded cattle are
raised there. The best Of horses are bred there.
And such has been the reputation established
by this titled rancher that all the milk and
cream for the hospitals Of Edmonton come
from the farm. Lady Rodney raises 200
turkeys every year. And while these titled
farmers could go back to England and live on
the proceeds Of their ranch, they prefer to stay
on the land.
Their sons, both in their early teens. make
the trip between the farm and an English

parents go along but it has happened that
the young heirs to the title have made the
entire 4,000-m trip alone when their titled
parents were too busy with the harvest to leave
the farm for such long voyage.
pUr what Is more important is that Lord

But absentee landlords do not make for that
freedom when in the presence OF nobility which
the Southern Alberta farmers especially have
developed. Not absence but the presence OF
titled personages has created that easy democ-
racy of the prairies. And that came about
when, with the signing Of the armistice Of the
last war, the titled persons began TO mock 10

The downfall of many an estate had much
to do with this emigration from every country

men who served with the forces Of Austria
during the war. They arrived In Canada In
1925, after they had searched the ends OF the
world for q place to settle. They came with

But the African veldt had not been for them.
They had packed their belongings and shipped

settling rather to look around. They stayed,

OBNOBBING with nobility is part OF
the routine some Of the ranches
on the Canadian prairieS. Farming

worn ducal tiaraS and men who have
stood in all the glories OF windsor
Court costume Is all the days work out West.
Farm hands and farmers have become accus-
toned to royalty and near royalty. Especially
is this so in Alberta.
Southern Alberta has more titled landowners
than perhaps any other part of the North
Am ri.an Continent. It is the meeting place
of princes b,rons and counts. Here live men
and women of culture and refinement, not in
feudal castles but as farmers-and successful
farmers in the bargain.
Some came to this beauty spot in the foot
hills of the Rocky Mountains with plans foS
establishing there q feudal system such as
they were accustomed to in their own country.
Others came incognito to work as farm hands
and learn all there was about farming before
entering on a ranch of their own. And still
others have bought farms in Alberta and Brit
ish Columbia to be managed by foreman,
place where they could come for rest and
from which probable income could be derived.
In this last class the absentee landlords,
absent only because Of other duties abroad, are
perhaps the best known Of these titled farmers.
Leading the colony is the Prince OF Wales.
The ranking peer of the British Empire here
has a 40OO-ecre ranch. which has become
