Destructive Orchard Birds Do Not Destroy Now
Orchardists in Tinwald face crop losses from blackbirds and thrushes leading Mr Charles Doherty to propose a fat bait method. A kerosene tin filled with rendered fat is laced with powdered strychnine after a delay, attracting birds to fat then poisoning them, with nets as an alternative. The approach aims to protect fruit while avoiding domestic animal harm.

Tinwald sees calmer times and seasonal notes
The Tinwald strike has ceased and public talk fades as town activity shifts to Christmas prep. Tinwald Post Office additions at the railway station should finish within a week. School enrollment reaches 160 with 85 girls and 75 boys, and an annual excursion to Timaru is planned. Measles outbreak has ended. Domain baths grow in popularity with many students learning to swim. Ox-eyed daisies spread across paddocks causing farmer losses, while potato crops look healthy in cottage gardens. Early sown grain attracts small birds, and dairy cattle quality appears to improve with cows grazing in paddocks.
