Farmers' Sons Return to Land as Labor Shortage Hits North Coast
During a visit to Dorrigo Dr. Earle Page warned that a flagging rural economy drives youth to the city but a bank downturn years ago shows a reversal. In Dor rigo many young men, sons of farmers, have returned home from Sydney with the same old tale of being put off and now seek land they can farm. Some have taken farms on shares while others advertise for families on wages and receive many applications. Farms have shifted hands and abandoned holdings are re-entering production.

Determined move for half rate relief urged by farmers
The Farmers and Settlers Association plans a determined move for a 50 percent reduction in shire rates noting rates rose from under £900,000 in 1910 to about £1,500,000. They claim an extra £1,000,000 is disproportionate to their road se share and would accept relief funded by petrol tax. A woman named O'Brien in Cesanock Court denied Irish nationality and caused disruption by insisting she is Czech-Slovakian amid a heated magistrate exchange.
