Bountiful Queensland Pasture Promises Fast Restocking
Queensland enjoys its most bountiful pasture season in 50 years after five weeks of record rains. Charleville district cattle forage freely in tall Mitchell grass, while lambing runs prolific though smaller due to Eraases and sabharter weaning. St George grazier predicts 1950 benefits for restocking and a sheep population near 25 million, with high cattle prices and blowfly fears looming after rains.

Watersiders blamed for heavy spoilage of sugar
Watersiders blamed for hefty sugar losses in Queensland due to slow ship turnarounds and rolling strikes. B Muir of the Australian Cane Growers Council told a Sydney meeting that about 100 000 tons of sugar in wharf sheds and storehouses awaits shipment, risking further £100 000 loss this year. He warned the waterfront holds threaten primary producers and urged government action to end unnecessary strikes. The NFU executive tied the waterfront dispute to chaos in wool shipments as well.

Rain fell Sunday in several central plateau areas, especially San Jose, where a three hour rainfall ended a cloudless day. The process involves ejecting a chemical from the ground to create rising air and cloud formation, with the chemical acting as a catalyst to precipitate rain.
