Banker's forecast: 1976 to bring gradual Canadian growth
J Allan Boyle of the Canadian Bankers Association predicts modest Canada recovery in 1976 with real GNP rising just over five percent from 1975 and inflation staying over ten percent. He notes high unemployment will persist as activity accelerates and interest rates stay high amid wage and price controls and policy measures. In current dollars GNP may hit 178 billion, about 15 percent above 1975.

Control of flea beetles essential for rapeseed
C E Osgood told a University of Manitoba conference that flea beetles greatly limit rapeseed yields. A three year study found 18 to 37 percent yield loss from early seedling feeding, with recovery incomplete. He urged integrated controls beyond insecticides, including border swathing and preharvest rye-like crop strips, field traps, and reducing wild mustard sources to curb beetle populations.
