Excerpt from Eastern Canada: Issued Under Direction of Honourable J. A. Calder, the Minister of Immigration and Colonization, Ottawa, CanadaWho Should Settle in Eastern Canada. While Canada is a country of varied industries and resources, experience has shown that certain classes of colonists are more likely to prove successful than are others. This experience warrants the state ment that the principal opportunities for new-comers in Canada. Are for farmers, farm labourers and household workers. Steady, industrious people within these classes are almost sure of success. All others are cautioned that the opportunities in Canada, great though they are, are primarily for those who engage in some form of agriculture.Industry, intelligence, and adaptability on the part of the new settler in Canada are essential. Canada has no rewards to offer to the indolent. Canadians take their work seriously, and, on the farms particularly, long hours are the rule during the growing and harvest seasons. Amusements and sports, although freely indulged in, must always take second place to the work of the farm. A high degree of intelligence is required for the successful guidance of a farm business, and the new settler will do well to be guided by the experience of older settlers.Capital, of course, is necessary, except among those who seek employment as farm labourers or household workers, and even they are the better for a tidy reserve. The settler who intends to become a farmer on his own account must have some capital. The exact sums needed vary greatly according to the kind of farming, the location selected, the scale of Operations, and the settler himself. Some men show an ability to get along on much less capital than others. After all, success in Canada, as elsewhere, depends largely upon the settler himself. The difference with Canada is that the opportunity is here, no one need fail for lack of opportunity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
