House of Commons Ottawa June 30, 1920. Mr. Sutherland, Unionist: "The Central Farm at Ottawa serves the whole of Canada...The operations of that farm are not directed towards serving any particular place but are intended to serve the whole Dominion. The Central Farm is one of the beauty spots of Ottawa to which people are taken when they visit the Capital."
"There are twenty-four experimental farms in the Dominion. Three of these are located in the province of Saskatchewan, in which there are also fourteen demonstration farms. There are also thirteen located in the province of Quebec...There is a group of 8 or 9 of these farms located to the east of Ottawa."
