200,000,000-ACRE STATE FARM
GREAT CANADIAN SCHEME TO AVELD THE EMPIRE. The Montreal Empire Resources Committee proposes to form a 200,000,000acre State farm in the west of Canada. The scheme staggers the Federal provincial officials, though it is recognised that the hackers of thb idea aro not visionaries, but hard-headed, practical statesmen of vast experience, used to handling enormous problems. It is believed, however, that grave difficulties will be presented by the fact that State-owned land does not exceed, 25,000,000 acres, in Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, and that the balance of the land is owned by the railways or privately, the latter land being more settled, and command: ing a far higher price'than that.suggested by- the committee.
