Western resources attract renewed industrial effort and agriculture gains
Western provinces show improving trade prospects with a strong crop, surplus labor use, and a large third quarter construction program. Developments include gypsum in B C and a plaster plant on the coast, brick and pottery in Saskatchewan, straw board ventures in Alberta, hemp and fibre crops in Manitoba, briquetting lignite in Saskatchewan, and pulp and paper plans on the Winnipeg River. Agricultural gains bolster settlement and market reach, stimulating investment and regional expansion. Burbank gardens near Santa Rosa, valued at half price, may move to Stanford University while private offers from Harvard and others are reported but declined. Burbank will continue in advisory role.
