John Dryden, the Ontario Minister of Agriculture, entitled "The Pioneer Farah and the Wabigoon County and the Rainy River District." The attention of the Department having recently been called to this hitherto unsettled re- gion, Mr. Dryden determined to establish there what he termed a, "pioneer farm," to demonstrate in a, practical manner the country's agri- cultural capabilities. The experiment so far has been very successful, and this pampblet giving general infor- mation regarding the section, which is\Row open for settlement, is the re- sult. It is the result. It is illustrated and contains a snap of the district. This information will be very oppor- tuuein view of the increasing demand at the present time for cheap land, es- pecially on the part of young men of small eapital, the sons of farmers, who desire to secure fauns and holies of their nwu. Such should by all means investigate the Wabigoon country and other unsettled portions before turning their attentiou else- where. Ontario still has vast resour- ces at her command, -a heritage in- tended for her own people, -and pre- sents advantages unsurpassed by any province or by any foreign state. Those desirous of securing a copy of the pamphlet should address a card to the Department of Agriculture, Toronto EXETER PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD Mlsun ss.--Feh. 23th.
