Rural strength draining to the metropolis says Fadden
Mr. Fadden outlined a drive for farm recovery citing census results showing rural population decline as urban areas swell from 43 percent in 1921 to 60.7 percent this year. He warned that three primary producers support seven city residents and called for restoring manpower to primary industries. The piece notes postwar depopulation, 420,000 ex-military reabsorbed into industry, and a push to put rural producers back on solid footing to safeguard Australia’s future.

Wastage in Silos Use of Sawdust as a Preventative
A Dairy Department officer reports sawdust used atop silos to seal silage, reducing losses versus earth coverings. A four inch top layer formed a four inch thick semi solid cake beneath after storage, with silage below remaining normal. Sawdust is light, easy to transport, less attractive to rodents, and may suit incomplete fills. Farmers urged to trial this method, noting sawdust availability from sawmills. A free pamphlet on haystack building is offered by the Department of Agriculture for immediate application.
