and to the :north .end . of the .
Bruce Peninsula; over • 11,000 vet-
erans.• have taken :advantage of

The :scope of the V.L.A. net.
ivities 'in Western•Ontario is best
illustrated by placing all .the •
small holdings side by side • and
the resulting population would
equal the city, of Woodstock.: If
the farms. Were joined' it ''Would
equal • one'of the, average -size
counties' in the district" •
The • Department .. reports , that "
the rate of settling_, veterans will
remain• at a ; high level, during

by, 'increasing the loan to the.
small holder to $8,100 0Vand' for
farmers to $10;500:00.

veterans 'established on hill=time
