LAND OF THE BUFFALO
The largest herd of buffalo in the world is now owned by Canada. They form a picturesque group as they roam over the new national reserve set apart for them near Wainwright. Saskatchewan. Canadians recognised the need of action if the buffalo were to be preserved, and purchased practically an entire herd of 600 or 700 from Montana. The herd was transported across the international boundary line by train from the Pablo ranch. The rounding up of these untamed animals and their young was no light task, and 150 of the most unruly Irad eventually to be left behind. An effort will be made to ship these later. In addition, seventy-five buffalo now confined in the National Park at Banff will be sent to the Wainwright reserve- The natural increase of t-lie herd has brought up the number to nearly 1000.
