Harvest Labor Shortage Looms On Prairies This Fall
Saskatchewan farmers face a serious harvest labor shortage as a record crop looms. NES reports call for help from students and workers, with wages of 10 to 20 dollars for experienced operators and 150 to 250 dollars monthly for others plus board. Custom US crews are heavily used, and permits are rising to cover 275 crews this season. The aim is to get grain from fields to ships, mainly to Russia, despite safety concerns.

Recommendations to reform bankruptcy investigations in Quebec
A study of over 400 bankruptcy files across the province found a total public loss of 5.4 million dollars between January 1, 1959 and February 1. It recommends creating a dedicated revenue department branch for bankruptcy probes, handling matters directly by the official investigator, and continuing investigations into fraudulent bankruptcies to uncover undeclared revenues.
