Expensive boast leads to Edinburgh fine for illicit distilling
Meyer Becker a 30 year old medical student at Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh was fined £300 at Edinburgh Sheriff Court for illicit distilling of spirits in Montague Street. A crude 15 gallon output was found with a student boast blamed for initiation. Becker claimed the act arose from a scholarly boast and planned not a business, having bought an ordinary tea urn and used junk shop tins to distill. The case highlights high spirits tax evasion penalties and penalties reflecting loss from such illicit activity. The report also notes Naples unveiled memorial by King of Italy to Marshal Diaz, WWI commander who died in 1928.

Subdivision of paddocks for rotational grazing methods
At a State Agricultural Bureau conference A F Emmett of Bodalla argues for dividing farms into small paddocks for rotational grazing. He notes the need for water access, easy stock movement, and fencing options, with ten to twelve paddocks as a practical start. Cows respond well to fresh daily paddocks, which can be rested or mowed for hay if grass grows faster than consumption.

Silage as Standard Dairy Farm Practice
The article extols mowing as a weed control method and a quick way to renew paddocks. It argues silage yields twofold benefits: fresh forage and storage for feed, usable when haymaking is impossible. It cites spring silage feeding of cows and heifers from 1931 and a 70-ton pit that survived 1934 floods with excellent quality.
