Drought Proclaimed Over Large Forbes District
State of District report to the PP Board by District Stock Inspector T R Jones says drought conditions now prevail over most of the Forbes district with only a southern tract spared. The drought area extends to within 20 miles of the Parkes Ootha line and within 10 miles of the Parkes Parkes line for rail carriage. Southern border rainfall has been more generous helping crops and pastures, stock health remains good, and vermin infested sheep are being controlled. Rabbits are decreasing but some owners ignore the season. Breaches of the Act have been reported. The drought area was enlarged and its precise limits left to the Stock Inspector.
