COMMUNITY PASTURES
DEVELOPMENT IN CANADA. ( Of the many phases of work in Western Canada carried out under the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, non'e is more essential than the erection of community pastures. There are now more than 50 community pastures fh. the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation areas, which extend over 1,000,000 acres and require 2,200 miles of wire fencing to enclose them. Thq latest and largest community pasture to be constructed was officially opened recently near Vai Marie, Saskatchewan.. . The pasture includes watering facilities comprising stock-watering dams, dugouts and developed springs which have been provided where hitherto no water-has existed above ground. Most of the animals will be wintered on the pasture, with the assistance of surplus feed which has been grown on the strate-gically-placed irrigation lands within the pasture, which also includes a number of well-wooded “coulees” that will afford shelter alike against winter storms and summer heat. When a community pasture is completed, it automatically becomes a sanctuary for wild birds and animals.
