The Days of the Week Child Poem Fragment
Fragmentary lines describe each weekday child with traits from Monday to Saturday, noting Sunday as a good and wise child. The text reads like a jumbled historical verse about the days personified and their respective characteristics.

Riddles and Wordplay From a Curious Text
Fragmented lines puzzle readers with wordplay about a caterpillar and a tall elephant. The speaker hints at a puzzle where items appear in the middle of phrases and asks what a shoe does when it anchors a step. The playful misprints resemble a puzzle page or riddle column from a historical paper.

New Board Proposed To Control All Transport
In the Legislative Assembly the Leader of the Country Party Lt Col Brower opposed a Bill to place the entire transport service under a four member board with a Director of Transport under ministerial control.

Straw mulch tests show little advantage in cereals
Preliminary trials at Cowra Experiment Farm in 1947 tested straw mulch on sown oat and wheat crops at various per acre rates. No yield increase over normal sowing. large mulch quantities over two tons per acre hindered pasture emergence and slightly reduced wheat and oat yields. Mulch did delay ripening and reduce crop height. pastures did not improve, and some seedlings were lost in heavy straw.
