(Special to the Guardian) IMONPIIRENL, Qua, ‘May 2.—‘ "S0 far the results obtained ilavei been most satisfactory and if tilei flXiierlmellt of ibrlnging partly, trained young men to Cwlludu iui" placement on farms continues to’ progress as it has to the presentl it should be possible to send these;

and." The speaker was Captain H. ll.

lCapulin Bloack returned to Montreal today for u time; may before proceeding to Quebec from which port be sails tomorrow on the (Iunard Liner S. S. Ausonla.

While here Captain "Blouck call- ad on Dr. W. J. IBiuck, Director of the Department of Colonization, Agriculture and Natural Resourc- es, Canadian National Railway, and discussed with the latter some of the features oi‘ this latest ex- periment in getting the mun and the job to meet. it was through the endeavors of representatives in England of the Canadian Nu- tional Railways that this first group were sent to ‘Canada. Aft- er the men to the number of 43 had been distributed from Toron- to ‘Captain Blouck visited many ot’ the farms 0n which these men

l had ibeen placed and today he rc-

lated some of his impressions.

‘ll was really astonished at tile way in which these men took to their new mrroundings and l was equally pleased at. hearing from all the farmers f called on that the men had lbean quite satisfactory in the manner in which they were performing their work. To what extent this is true will Ibo realized when i say that: many farmers neighbours of those who had re: celved these men, spoke to lllc and asked if it were possible to send over more such men.

To the men there were many new experiences and one of the most striking was the duct that they were taken into the homes of their employers and given accom- odation there, that ls not custom- ary in England. Other things ap- pealed to them, as they did to me. for instance the presence oi’ radio in each farm house mad the fact that each farmer possessed a mot- or car.

Probably the most striking ex- perience of these men is the fact that for the first time ill their lives they are earning real money." .

‘Discussing another‘ aspect of this experiment, Captain IHlouck Bald. "it is rather early to offer a prediction lbut there is every in- dication that the schema will m1“; r00! llnd Brow. and if it docs sure- lyl-half of the quarter million YDIIIIB men of similar type now un- employed ln England, could be placed profitably on farms. ‘l certainly shall carry back with me the material for a very favorable report."
