Saskatchewan clay deposits toured by officials
A tour of clay deposits in Southern Saskatchewan was conducted by Brick From Saskatchewan Clay and Industries officials with Tr. Chas. Camesell and A. J. C. Nettell accompanying Mr. Molloy. Camesell praised the extensive clay beds and fossils, noting clay purity and texture. Molloy foresaw a fall in imported bricks next year due to Saskatchewan clays. Claybank uses lignite in early brick manufacture and experiments to use lignite throughout production. Enough clay at Claybank could yield 50,000 bricks daily for 200 years, versus plant capacity of 16,000–25,000 bricks daily.

Emigration to Canada Favored by Dr Black
Dr W J Black, European manager of colonization for Canadian National Railways, says more Britons emigrate to Canada for their children’s futures than for any other reason. He cites ignorance of climate and unemployment fears as main barriers and urges confidence in Canada’s prospects to boost immigration. He supports directing newcomers to best matching regions rather than pushing to the prairies.

Analysts note Western Canada’s 1924 wheat yield may exceed 1923 despite a cautious government forecast. With wheat prices buoyant, farmers stand to gain over 300 million dollars, while cattle, dairy, poultry, eggs, and apiculture rise in importance. The shift cuts dependence on wheat and strengthens overall farm prosperity.
