An Agricultural School in Western Canada.

This is a later version of the emigration "propaganda" card (later than the Government Agent series, that is). This one is stated on the back to have been issued by the Canadian Department of Emigration, 1, Regent Street, London, S.W. 1. It is unused. I don't know where the school depicted was.

Another in the Canadian Department of Emigration (1, Regent Street, London S.W. 1) series. What could be easier than farming this land?
