About 60 delegates attended the Western Australian Fruitgrowers Association conference at McNess Hall Perth on September 21 and 22.

Seven Ansons engaged on night training flights from Port Pirie could not land due to fog. The RA A F contacted the V A O C control room in Adelaide to check Whyalla weather. Whyalla was clear, the crew landed on the emergency ground after a flare path was lit and the field prepared within twelve minutes.
The association urged continued independence, backed higher fertiliser allowances for fruit growing, and called for broader compensation for black spot losses. It sought changes to the Fruit Industry Trust Fund rate, a compulsory hail insurance scheme, and pest management for Mount Barker to Manjimup rail access. Requests included a state nursery, jam ration increase, galvanised rabbit netting, orchard packing priority, forest preservation near growing centers, and a common spraying scheme for fruit fly. The Minister Wise received a note of appreciation, Mills was re elected president, and the secretary was praised for devoted service.
