Advertising Creates Demand For Fish
Arthur Boutilier, president of the Canadian Fisherman's Association, told the Rotary Club on National Fish Day that if every Nova Scotia boat and fisherman worked to the full limit for six months they could not meet the demand created by intensive industry advertising.

The note also mentions Occidental Fruit Company shipments from Kelowna to prairie points and export fruit and vegetables including apples to Britain and New Zealand, with Summerland and Penticton handling about nine cars of produce daily.

New Wheat Varieties Tested by University of Alberta
The University of Alberta studies two new wheats Renfrew and University No. 222. Renfrew is later and higher yielding, suited to southern areas with low rainfall, but not advisable for Edmonton or northern frost-prone zones. University No. 222 is beardless, resembles Red Bobs, about four days earlier than Marquis, and shows better yields at the Edmonton farm, though its short straw may be a drawback in dry regions.
