The City of Prince George is situated at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers. It is the largest city between Edmonton and Prince Rupert and is about equally distant — 475 miles — from these two cities, as well as from Vancouver, B.C. Its population is about 3,000, it is the com- mercial, financial and legal centre of a very large area, an important divisional point on the Canadian National Rail- ways and a distributing point for lumber camps and mines. The altitude at Prince George is 1,867 feet.

_, Prince George also serves an extensive agricultural area. The land is particularly adapted to diversified farming. Wheat, and the coarse grains, timothy and clover, yield abundantly. The production of Alsike clover seed forms an important part of the farming program; yields of 300 to 600 pounds per acre are common. There is a ready market for this high quality, northern grown seed. The housewife may be assured of an ample supply of vegetables and the hardier fruits. Dairying is assuming increasing importance; an up-to- date creamery at Prince George stimulates this industry, providing a market for butterfat which is second in impor- tance, from the standpoint of cash returns, only to clover seed. Fur-farming, as a sideline can be profitably developed. Soil varies from a clay loam on the benches to black sandy loam in the bottoms, generally free of stone. A good selection of properties both raw and partially improved, easily cleared, is available within a few miles of the City.
