Surface irrigation remains Canada’s cheapest method
The Canadian department of agriculture states surface irrigation, where water runs over land, remains the common and cheapest method on the prairies. Sprinklers stay limited to high value crops or land unsuitable for ditches. At Lethbridge, land preparation greatly affects yields, with smooth surfaces and no depressions needed for effective irrigation and drainage planning to avoid waterlogging and alkali. Population in Chilliwack, BC, grew slowly from 1911 to 1921 and has risen from about 5,000 to 7,000 since World War II.

Nature's balance rests with man says famed naturalist
The late Canadian naturalist Jack Miner argued that humans must balance nature. He urged killing the prey's predators in proportion, comparing hunting for food with removing enemies like wolves, crows, and owls. He warned against waiting for divine intervention and cited using Paris Green on potato bugs. A giant Pacific clam shell can weigh up to 400 pounds.

At a British National Aquarist Society exhibition in London a guppy stands out with a tail painted like the American flag. Breeder W. G. Phillips spent 20 years refining the design. The tail features red white and blue with stars, though exact star count varies, breeders note guppies cannot count. Separately a golden eagle spans about seven feet wingtip to wingtip and over three feet body length.
