Canadian Wheat Surplus Could Yield Valuable By-Products
Dr W Boyd Campbell of McGill proposes turning Canada's wheat surplus into by products such as monosodium glutamate and other uses through chemical research. He urges a 500000 budget over five years, arguing spending on research is cheaper than vast shipping and handling costs. He notes MSG is already produced in China and could be a major new market for Canadian wheat, boosting protein rich grain into high value inputs.

Dutch market favors Canadian barley for feed grain
The Agricultural Department of the Canadian National Railways notes Holland prefers Canadian barley for its softer skin and whiter flour. It offers germination and odor advantages, with price as the main barrier. Imports peaked in 1929 at 41 percent of Canada’s exports to the Netherlands, then fell to little or no activity, despite a potential larger market if prices align. Holland, a major livestock producer with low cereal output, remains a large importer of feeding grains.
