Conv. Resolutions Spark Debate At Dauphin Chamber Meet
At Friday’s Chamber of Commerce session in Dauphin a post mortem on Manitoba convention resolutions dominated discussion. Critics objected to many local focused items, notably a highway package, while members assigned tasks on Clean Up Week, street publicity, and council liaison. A plowing match was shelved due to late spring and plow shortages, with plans for an alternative agricultural event. Retailers complained of theft rising in stores leading to talks with RCMP and patrols by the town constable.

Manitoba farmers slow to respond to rapeseed demand
Manitoba farmers have shown poor response to rising rapeseed demand with contracts for about 15 000 acres. Experts say production could exceed demand, as many farmers prefer cereals and flax. Seed costs are low and Golden rapeseed suits most regions, but late contracting may tighten supplies. Farmers are urged to contact elevator agents soon.
