Long term view on crop residues for gasohol energy
Farmers should examine crop residues before using them for gasohol. Agriculture Canada's J F Dormaar warns that removing residues disrupts carbon nitrogen cycles, reducing soil fertility and stability. Maintaining organic matter, humus, and soil life is essential for water retention, aeration, and erosion control, with long term test plots showing losses from regular cultivation.

Intermittent lighting may cut fat in broiler chickens
Agriculture Canada researchers led by N A Cave studied 1200 birds per trial group under two lighting regimes. Intermittent light 1 hour on 3 hours off reduced leaf fat percentage and feed use, with no change in mortality or total weight by days 48 and 55. Some birds fell short of Grade A due to leanness.
