In the prairies most of the Crown Lands are held and administered by the Federal (lovernment. but .New Brunswick has kept control of hers, and she has at her disposal a wide enough area of fertile and unocc'i- pied country to provide healthy and comfortable homes for tens of thou- sands of new settlers. The moment her C.overnment heard of the move- ment for securing all would-be eml- gr»nts from the United Kingdom for | the British Oversea Dominions, it got ^ phases right to work. It has spent an in- considerable time in talking, and if the war should end by next late spring or summer New Brunswick will be ready with her scheme. Can any other part of the Kmplre say that? Setting to work at once, the Pro- Advisory .Settlement Board, which was soon atraut the country looking for the land most suitable for the purpose, and in a marvellously short ] time such land was discovered. Hon. J. Murray, the very able Mini.ster of j Agriculture In .New Brunswick, re- ! cently spoke about this excellent pro- position. "The scheme briefly," he 1 said, "is the establLihrnent of com- munity settlements, each community to accommodate from one hundred to two hundred and tifty families, depending on the si/.e of the area of suitable land that is available in each locality. Each of these communities will radiate from a central farm, op- erated by the (Joyernraent for the purpose of supplylni; instruction, em- ployment, necessary Implements, and teams for the new settlers â€" a •yateni which we twiieve will In a large measure do away with the n^'cessity of each settler having to purchase a full equipment of his own for the first ten years." On this central farm provision is going to be made for a school, church, butter and cheese factory, blacksmith's shop. post-otSce, and other public conveniences, and the co-operative principle will lie applied in the marketing, and indeed in many | Ajl other departments of the communal | •• life and work. 'I'lie communities | il will, a.s far as possilile. each consist j w of members of the same religious ] |u creed. There will be a Itonian Cii- ' A thollc community with its central '| church, perhaps an Anglican <-oin- I ii munity, and it is tliuiii^bt that the various denominations, the "fancy religions," as the recruiting sergeant expressed it, uiifAhl manage to com- bine in a form of worship which would occupy another church or chaliel. This arrangement is per- haps calculated to stereotype relig- i differences. Iiut what does that matter if people are happy and con- tented? The size of the lioldinga available for each settler will raiiH" from In to 100 acres. I'art of each lot will be cleared and iiiltivated, and a cheap l)ul comfortable set of builil- ings erected, sullicjeni for the needs of the settler for a number of years. Ultimately he will build a hirgei and more permanent home. im»i hups In- corporating In II this temporaiy dwe||ini4. Ki'lices are to be erected and a water supply provided. Kadi settlement also lies close along a lallway line, so that nobody will feel too remote or lonely. That has been the cause of many colonization fail- ures in the past. It does not matter living in a (|iiiet place if we are In easy reach of the gieat world out- side. The holdings will vary in priie from $700 to $l,:.'ilO. that about live pel oMit. will be paid down in cash and the rest distriliuted over, per- haps. 20 annual instalments, 'fhese terms should lie jiossible foi- almost any disbanded soldier at the end of tho war. Ami here is an Interesting feature of the scheme: The New Brunswick Covernment is prepared to administer the settler's capital in his own best Interest. Suppose u soldiei-settler receives a sum of iSfiU la commutation of his pensiim, he will have to pay down perhaps live per cent, in c sh foi' his holdinK. The balance of his capital the New Bruns- wick Government is willing to fake over, allowing him three per cent. and directing its expenditure. To sensible settler this trusteeship d be very welcome. It will irJPW a man from himself and his money from being "blown away." And as to produce I her* is ample choice. Apples and potatoes do sples- didly In New Brunswick. There are no better potatoes in the world, and the West Indies furnish an evei- growlng market for these and other such products. But mixed farralns. dairying, wheat-growing, sheep rear- lag, and otb«r occupations Dud Ideal condiliona in this province.
