Saskatchewan Wheat Quality Reform Proposed by Mitchell
J C Mitchell, president of the Saskatchewan Field Husbandry Association, urged zoning Saskatchewan for grain quality by district and listing districts by grain quality. He favored a Canadian export wheat standard of 14 to 15 percent protein and a national wheat board. He warned the wheat board issue has become political and urged heavy public funding for agricultural research, noting Southern Saskatchewan’s improving seed and fodder, and endorsing pre sprouting wheat with a formaldehyde brine treatment to speed germination.

Strange Glacial Lake In Alaska Returns Miners To Gold
A strange glacial lake near Lake St George in Alaska empties each fall and refills in winter. The lake drains into the Knik and Matanuska valleys, forming a four mile delta that could disconnect the Matanuska settlement from Anchorage. Prospector danger and a planned bridge over the delta highlight a multi million dollar project tied to a major railroad and road investment.
