Outlook Encouraging Amid Western Wheat Farm Struggles
A. S. McPhail of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool comments in The Globe's financial review on 1929 Western Canadian crops. He notes the eight season harvest yields the lowest since 1994 in quantity though high in quality, with total Western Canada wheat at 712 million bushels and 50 million needed for feed and seed. He cites uneven fortunes among farmers, reduced crop movement not to blame for lower business, and a cautious but improved national outlook compared to 1922 and 1973.

Split in Nationalist Congress as Bose and Alyengar walk out
In Lahore India a serious split emerged at the all India Nationalist Congress gathering. Srinivasa Alyengar and Subash Bose led about 30 members who left the party and formed a democratic faction within the congress. The dissenters pressed for representation on the new working committee. Mahatma Gandhi urged inclusion only of fully sympathetic members and the congress elected the proposed list, omitting Bose and Alyengar. Nehru closed with a soaring call for India’s freedom and global esteem.

Canadian Conscience Money Sent to Dominion Exchequer
Ottawa notes that the Canadian conscience is awakening as 1929 will see more than $200 paid to the Dominion exchequer as conscience money. Envelopes from across the country bearing no return address arrive at the finance department, usually wrapped in blank paper. The sender risks little identity disclosure, and officials rarely learn who gives. The money is often accompanied by terse notes such as customs on smuggled goods or income tax. The New Year, Christmas and Easter are peak periods for this revenue.
