Barley Grade Standards Revised by House of Commons Committee
The committee on agriculture and colonization of the House of Commons approved new barley grade standards to separate two rowed and six rowed types. Dr L H Newman noted Canada's barley crop has doubled in eight years with 26 million bushels exported last year and an estimated 114 million this year. Sixty percent of exports went to the United Kingdom with rising demand in Germany, aiding maltsters who need precise barley for their purposes.

Foreign colonies rarely profitable in early 20th century analysis
New York Times notes that except for England's far reaching empire and Dutch East Indies holdings, colonies yielded little profit. Germany and Belgium each had exports and imports from colonies at under one percent in 1912. The piece also remarks Germans showed little interest in colonial emigration. It adds a stray line on ancient life and cites China’s population at over 357 million.
