Dry Weather Thins Cane Crop Across Maryborough District
The report from Maryborough to Childers notes very dry conditions retarding cane growth. Some areas show wilted canes but overall hopes for fair crushing remain. Varieties like 1900 Seedling, Striped Singapore show tolerance while others decline. Emphasis on soil improvement, drainage, and better paths for access to railways and markets. Continuous drought has reduced yields in Childers and Yerra districts, with scattered encouragement for local experimentation and fertilizer use under dry conditions.
