Harvest Forecast Shows Sharp Grain Decline Year
Government Statistician M A C Fraver issues preliminary forecasts for the year ending February 28, 1915, showing droughts produce widespread crop failures. Wheat plantings exceed last year but yields fall sharply, with most districts reporting serious drops and some areas near total failure. Hay production from wheat oats and barley also drops, while Yalgoo and Burracoppin report oat and barley failures.
