Manitoba Opens 6 Million Acres for Returned Soldiers
The province via order in council places six million acres of unimproved farm land on the market for returned soldiers. An arbitration board will set prices, enabling direct government purchases, with Metcalfe as provincial arbitrator and a federal member named. The lands, called provincial school lands, are largely unimproved and valued at five dollars per acre in old Manitoba and one dollar in new Manitoba.
