Plan for 100000 acre drought grazing reserve in Saskatchewan
Ottawa reports Hon. J. G. Gardiner outlined drought remedies for the prairie area. A block of 100000 acres in Saskatchewan would be fenced for grazing, with limited communal grazing and no grazing by cattle to build fodder reserves. Similar blocks planned elsewhere. irrigation experiments show flooding helps yields even in drought. Plans include re dividing lands for irrigated and farming use and moving settlers from stricken districts. In Saskatchewan one district could irrigate 46000 acres to support about 600 families. Rivers studied include Frenchman, Battle Creek, Middle Creek, Maple Creek and Gap Creek, with Manitoba and Alberta projects anticipated. Early flooding of fields aids crop prospects, while treaty water limits complicate use. Further tests expected.
