He notes tea and fish are poor sources for adequate fluoride and explains why mass fluoridation is cheap, safe, and essential for childhood enamel protection.

Intensify Breeding Program For Rust Resistant Soft Wheat
The breeding program at Lethbridge since 1950 targets high yields and soft wheat quality with rust resistance. Emphasis on leaf and stem rusts aims to develop lines with short strong straw, lodging resistance, and better performance in irrigated Alberta. Some lines show promise, with rust resistance and acceptable quality, and will be retested across irrigated areas. Farmers may see rust resistant soft wheat in coming years.

Frost damaged selection speeds plant breeding gains
A. D McFadden of Lacombe reports frost after last fall’s hail aided selection in wheat breeding. Frost destroyed weak lines, allowing earlier maturity and better kernel development. Back-crossed wheat crosses show early maturity favored, with survivors poised for faster improvement and saving future effort. Nature performed useful selection.
