The heart of Canada; orchard and dairy region of Lake Ontario, by Kennedy, H. A:
"A register of farms for sale is kept by the Ontario Government which also, by the way, keeps lists of
farmers who will take new-comers (of course without the "premiums" that some men ask) and pay them such wages as they may be worth from the start, besides giving them board and lodging."
"We are all sorts, we Old-Country folk. For a few adventurous spirits, nothing will do but the Wild West,— though now-a-days they have to go pretty far to find wildness even in the West. For the
ordinary man, especially the family man, with enterprise enough to cross the sea but a strong desire for a pleasant home and congenial occupation in a well-settled community, I can imagine no happier lot than the life of an apple man on Lake Ontario." [Source]
