Seed Maize Competition Yields Strong Despite Adverse Start
In difficult early season conditions sowings were delayed to December, delaying maturation for late varieties. Despite this, late autumn and early winter weather allowed most plots to ripen, with Manning Silvermine by Shaw Bros winning the event and averaging nearly 80 bushels. Golden Nugget and Hybrid entries posted solid results, while Department hybrids drew strong interest for next season. Breeding hybrid maize lags slightly due to war, but results show progress and many local growers seek seed for next year.

Women corn-pullers set record at Shannon Vale
Three Glen Innes girls led a strong corn-pulling effort on Col. J. P. White's Shannon Vale property pulling 302 bags in five days. They also sewed the bags despite a light crop unlikely to yield more than 30 bushels per acre. The Misses Anderson are daughters of a large maize grower and are experienced in the field. The second item notes thousands of dependents of soldiers will receive an extra 1 a day with fortnighly allowances this week.
