Fragmented NSW rural notes on weather, crime and crops
A jumble of reports from New South Wales covers sheep losses at a fair, profits from church aid, extraordinary crop conditions on the Richmond River, a Tweed farmer fined for not reporting diseased corn, damages from a shooter near milling yards, a rise in robberies on the Manning and Cognmandra, and a mix of horse and dairy farm anecdotes. The piece also notes lightning damaging a Grafton house, an American attempting silage cultivation at Yanco, and taxation of a Hindoo man fined £50 for liquor possession.
