Farmers Despair of Cultivating Land Amid Wet Weather
Continued wet conditions in the Lower Hunter and coastal areas have farmers fearing they cannot cultivate or crop land for months. District agronomist G. T. Dawson notes this year is unusually wet, with many farmers lacking income since floods on the Tyne. While crops and pastures grow where not waterlogged, prospects for future maize and millet are grim. early maize will be light unless a drier October follows a wet September. Cutworms and armyworms plague fields, prompting advice to spray cabbages and use poison baits for maize and other crops to curb pests.
