The facilities of New Brunswick’s Farm Set- tlement Board, which was created in 1912 prim- arily to enable the people of the province to purchase farms on easy terms, have been applied to the settlement of 100 British families a year during the 5-year period ending March 1, 1933, under an agreement effected between the prov- incial, Dominion, and British Governments. The full quota of families has been placed dur- ing each of the years this agreement has so far been in force.
