A BLIND FARMER
CONTROLLING 800 ACRES. A blind man directs the tilling and harvesting of 800 acres of wheat lands near Earl Grey, Saskatchewan. He is Mr Guy Foster, who, with his brother, acquired holdings in Central Saskatchewan before the Great War. In rhe war his brother was killed and Mr Guy Foster was blinded. After a period of training at St. Dustan’s, London, Mr Foster returned to his farm in Canada, and, ■Reuter states, has managed it ever since. His greatest difficulty is in keeping good assistants. “I find,”’ he says, “that a good nian does not want to work for hire more than a couple of years. After that he is ready to start on his own.”
