Western Canada shows women owning and running farms with success. Miss May Hazlett, in Sas katchewan, left stenography to manage her brother’s Touchwood hills farm after his death at Vimy Ridge. Alberta pioneer Mary Blackburn expanded from 160 acres to 1 120 acres, building a prosperous dairy with 60 pure bred Holsteins. Two Manitoba sisters raised a mortgaged 160 into a 1 120 acre operation with hundreds of cattle and heavy horses. The piece notes changing views of women in farming and invites readers to request Canada West for details.
