NEW EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS. 



SCOTT, SASKATCHEWAN. 



During the past year, the site for a new Experimental Station has been chosen 

 for northern Saskatchewan. This has been located on the line of the Grand Trunk 

 Pacific Railway, a short distance from the town of Scott, on the opposite side of the 

 railway track and fronting on the railway for about half a mile. The town was 

 started in 1909, and in April, 1910, was said to have a population of about five hun-

 approved by the Director and other officers of the Earms. Mr. Anderson, who has 

 xesided at Scott during the greater part of the past year, has supervised the breaking and 

 preparation of the land, has prepared plans of the buildings and superintended their 

 erection and has written that report of the work which has been accomplished under 

 his careful supervision which appears on a subsequent page.

 Stadaoona Farm, is situated a short distance west of Cap Rouge. 



Mr. J. H. Grisdale, Dominion Agriculturist, who carefully examined the pro-

 lier, is situated on the high land just west of Cap Rouge village. It fronts on the 

 main road leading to Quebec from the northern tier of counties of the province. It 

 commands an extensive view, of the St. Lawrence River and is prominently in view from 

 that river. It lies at the crossing of the Transcontinental and Great Northern rail- 

 ways and is plainly in view from either road. It is crossed at the rear or north end 

 by the Transcontinental and the Great Northern passes within two hundred yards of
