Superphosphate Freed for Road Transport in Victoria
A Victorian policy change exempts superphosphate carriage from the Transport Regulation Act while the exemption lasts. The Transport Regulation Board, Railways Commissioners and others met to address winter delivery delays caused by a coal strike. With ongoing rail shortages until at least June 1950, users are urged to seek road delivery options and avoid outflow of shipments to Melbourne or Geelong.

Control measures to curb potato moth losses in Victorian crops
Entomologists from the Victorian Department of Agriculture say losses from the potato moth can reach 60 percent in early crops and 25 percent in mid to late crops but can be reduced with moulding to protect tubers, careful digging and bagging, avoiding stacking bags with haul, and dusting seed potatoes with DDT inside bags and at bag mouths.

Isolation of Newly Bought Pigs
Isolation of newly bought pigs is urged to prevent swine plague. Experts warn that apparently healthy pigs may carry the germ and spread infection after transport and in sale yards. Buy only strong looking pigs and keep them in isolation for three weeks on lower ground to avoid contamination and limit spread.
