Wheat In Canada West Is Prairie Wheat Dominant
Western Canada has long produced much of the world’s finest wheat. Settlers from Scotland brought crops in 1814, and by 1880 the crop reached over 32 million bushels annually. Marquis wheat, developed by Dr. Saunders and his sons, matured early and helped make Prairie wheat a leading Canadian industry in peace and war.

Wool Clip Shows Improvement in 1935 Domestic Fleeces
The Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Canada notes 1935 domestic clips superior to 1944 in fleece preparation. Bright grades mainly from British Columbia and Manitoba due to better moisture. Saskatchewan and Alberta skew toward semi Bright because of higher earth content and lower yield. After scouring, fibre matches Bright quality. Eastern domestic wools may grade higher than 1944 with slightly less shrinkage. Registered wool warehouses report 1944 fleece weight at 10,553,243 Ibs, up 167,641 from 1943.

Egg Sterilizer From UC Davis Sparks Radio Waveed Idea
An experimental high frequency egg sterilizer under development at the University of California farm in Davis uses oscillations between radio and diathermy to cook an egg in nine minutes but kills the germ with a ten second exposure. The process enhances keeping quality and shell bacteria destruction, slightly firms the albumen, and may improve egg appearance and oil preservation compatibility if commercialized. Experts refrain from making claims at this stage.

Domestic yarn and fabric shortages mean imports cannot meet demand, so wardrobes must be spared from personal use to aid relief.
