February 4, 1623, to the *sent orris.

made to Louis Hebert, "Canada's
First Farmer," on the banks of the
St. Lawrence River, and it well"may
have 'been the first land grant evei.
made in „Canada. ••
Dr. Booth's addret#s- was entitled,
"Policies and Experiences Relating to
Farm Land Tenure in Qanada." With
regard to the present situation in land
tenure, he 'said that additional set-
tlement would 'influence the tenure
pattern to some extent in .most prov-
inces, and; in those provinces where
a considerable area of unoccupied
arable land was still available,' the.
,relationship of owned •or rented land
could be affected considerably.., for -at
least a •generation if. eei:tlethent
should be extensive andrapid.
The total land area of Canada was
estimated 'to be 3,466;556 square miles
-61--Which 549,660 square miles or 16
per cent was presently occupied as
agricultural land or had agricultural
'potentialities in soa1e sense" Roughly
the half .of that area, or -175, million
acres, was in farms. The other 'half
included large areas , that would be
brought under cultivation only if
Canada. .experienced a marked • in-
crease in population or greatly ex-
•pande'd export markets.' Despite dif-
ferences ,qf •opinion on the question
of 'p,otential agricultural -10d — and
there were 'many differences—it was
apparent, said Dr. Booth, that a .con-
siderable number of new farms could
be' established. on land presently. un-
occupied. In the provinces where most
of that land was -situated,-- Quebec,
Ontario. and British Columbia, any
rapid extension of settlenietft would
affect the tenure pattern;
After having.dealt- with the admin-
istration of lands; • recent develop-
ments in the Prairie—Provinces; Land'
L'•tilization Act,' Saskatchewan; ' Spe-
cial Areas Act. Alberta; other meas-
ures affecting teaui•e in Alberta; the
land tenure pattern; tenure in ranch-
ing industry: methods of renting
land: a land of family farms, and
the past 'and the future tenure, . Dr.
Booth • said that a mistake had been
'Made 'in allowing certain lands. to., be
settled. There were extensive 'areas
in Eastern Canada that should not
,have been o.penecl to agriculture. They
should ' have "been Left in forests, and,
should -now. be returned to forests or
recreational areas without • delay.
There had already been extensive
abandonment of farms and those that
remained represented; a substantial
proportion of subsistence farms. In
Western Canada a good' deal of land
was acquired by homesteaders for
grain farming that might have • bet-
ter been left to the rancher., •
No radical change •in. tenure poli -
des was needed .but a1I should be on
