Canadian Engineer Plans Sixth Great Lake for Great Lakes Region
Canadian engineer Ralph Keemle proposes diverting and damming rivers to create a sixth Great Lake north of Lake Superior, linking the St Lawrence to Western Canada. The $5.6 million plan would boost hydro power, improve navigation, and potentially counter Chicago’s water withdrawals by raising lake levels and expanding seaport reach inland. Sir Adam Beck weighs the project as Ontario Hydro considers feasibility.

China Exports Over a Billion Eggs Annually
United States Department of Commerce estimate places China's annual egg production at about 26.25 million tons from 950 million hens averaging 75 eggs each.
