Department of Agriculture notes on cheapening poultry rations. Washing smutty wheat can render it safe and near second grade quality. A bath method separates bunt from grain, with wet feeding or drying. Experiments show boiled flour in mash binds bran with less flour needed, yielding similar nutritive value to pollard and bran.
A western fruitgrower fears losing young trees and vines to white ants and asks the Department if washing roots with lead solution and wrapping them in arsenate laden sawdust poultices is safe. The chemist cautions against direct root contact and suggests arsenate of lead treated sawdust balts could be trialed at weaker strength, with ground distribution away from roots.
Forbes Municipal Council meets as Alder men review cash balances across funds and hear reports on gas meters leaks at Forbes Hotel and Camp Hill lighting. They inspect service pipes, plan street work on Farnell and Grenfell, and consider replacing faulty clocks and brackets while addressing ratepayer meter issues and new tree planting.
A North Coast citrus grower reports widespread orange splitting across many varieties, with about five percent of fruit affected.
