Serious Outlook for Wheat Growers in Colony
The piece argues wheat farming faces anxiety across the colony as the 1.4 Board pushes men to join the Expeditionary Forces. It recalls guidebooks from 1909 and 1940 promising suitable land from 10s per acre and a regular climate with rainfall above 10 inches, highlighting Wagoola’s water belt and rail links. It notes land prices up to 25s per acre and 10s for poisoned land under Liberal rule, while Labour is blamed for shortcomings and a 1914 push for concessions after crop failures.
