Pacific Fisheries Shake Up With Steam Trawling Growth
The Canadian Food Board funds a new Pacific fishery built on flatfish and cod species. Modern steam trawlers with 125 foot steel hulls harvest large quantities, hauling them in via wide mouth nets, processing on board, and shipping in crates to markets across Canada. Capt. F W Wallace leads the campaign to educate the public on catching and marketing these fish.

Alberta irrigation success fuels new settlers stories
In 2016 three farming families moved from Teany to Alberta near Duchess, acquiring 160 acres of irrigable land and expanding to nine families on adjoining plots by 1917. They harvested 18 650 bushels of wheat plus oats and flax, projecting 5 000 to 10 000 dollars per family from crops. They produced feed and vegetables, funded livestock needs, and demonstrated that irrigation can yield substantial returns with modest capital.
