Submarine Grain Carriers Foreseen by Wilkins Explorer
Sir Hubert Wilkins envisions 15 000 ton submerged grain carriers to haul prairie grain across Hudson Bay under ice to Churchill. His Nautilus voyage aims to prove underice navigation feasible and could cut shipping costs, suggesting year round operation without ice-breakers. The plan anticipates future use on the northern Hudson Bay route to Europe.

The industry expands exports, grows supply bases for furs, and promotes domestic pelts including rabbit and pony. Chinchilla-like rabbit fur gains value, while pony fur from small Russian ponies finds a global market.

Neglected Market for Canadian Hog and Pork Exports
A Department of Agriculture Ottawa report notes Britain's dead meat imports for ten months of 1930.

Oddities Of Grain Situation Shown By Suggestions For Disposal Of Surplus Crop
At the annual meeting of the Canada Colonization Association in Winnipeg, Colonel J. S Dennis was reelected president with P. L. Naismith as vice president and several directors named. The report shows 4,107 families settled on 936,934 acres for $55 million in total purchases, with 489 families on 92,666 acres in 1930 and only 12 percent of settlers failing. The association’s work spans Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, under CP rail guidance. Grain surplus pressure prompts varied disposal ideas from a $1,000,000 purchase plan to feeding livestock and using barley in heaters. a Calgary grain relief group and community grain milling revive small-town mills. other proposals include donating a bushel to Chinese starving relief, though lacking organization to date.

Cod Liver Oil For Laying Hens In Winter Diet
An abundant supply of Vitamine D in cod liver oil keeps laying hens productive in winter. Only reliably tested brands should be used, as vitamin content drives calcium and phosphorus absorption for eggs and shells. Crude cod liver oil is suitable and inexpensive. dry mash uses one pint per 100 pounds of mash, wet mash uses one to two teaspoonfuls per twelve birds. Eighteen carloads of sugar beets mark Manitoba's first harvest, with six carloads sent to East Grand Forks refinery and 12 more from local fields shortly after.
