Honey production depends on field force of bees
Field Force Counts C B Gooderham notes honey yield hinges on the number of bees released for field work during honey flow and the keeper’s ability to keep them contentedly active. Only bees above a certain age gather nectar, and past colony care, not spring management alone, determines surplus honey.

Cutworm Warning Issued for Saskatchewan and Alberta Farmlands
Dominion entomologist Arthur Gibson warns farmers in Saskatchewan and Alberta that pale western cutworm losses could rise in 1932 if weather stays average. Undisturbed soils from 1 August to 15 September 1931 may deter damage, reseeded fields after September 15 should be safe if August was undisturbed, and a diagonally planted wheat indicator strip helps assess risk. If 10 to 15 plants per square yard show injury by early May, avoid seeding and seek guidance from provincial labs and agriculture departments.

Canadian Humor in Literature
Lionel Stevenson notes Canadian humor diverges from American and English forms. It resembles Scottish whimsy in Barrie but is more direct and action oriented, built on hearty good nature and a joy of life. It balances crudity and sentimentality with simple sunny cheerfulness.

Beans Make Good Crop At Lethbridge Dominion Staion
The Dominion Experimental Station at Lethbridge Alberta notes rising interest in field beans across western Canada especially irrigated zones. Bean use previously relied on imports from Japan the U S and eastern Canada with Lethbridge alone consuming about six carloads of 30 000 pounds yearly. Beans need a long season planted early to avoid fall frosts and the small white varieties meet market demand. Excessively rich land heavy irrigation thin seeding and wide row spacing slow growth. Montreal Boulevard across the Island of Montreal could cost up to 12 554 000.
