Exports for 1950 likely reduced by higher domestic use, though 45 million pounds of bacon for the UK contract may finish late Q4.

Rossburn oil well shows abundant water supply potential
In Rossburn a test well drilled by Red-Man Oils Ltd shows a heavy flow of about 2,000 gallons per hour from a sand bed 25 feet deep. With 600 residents this could provide roughly 80 gallons per person daily, suggesting a possible waterworks development if oil finds mirror the water yield. Imperial Oil Ltd collaborates with Red-Man Oils on area prospects.
