Southern New England Pastoral Show Opens at Uralla
Dry conditions reduced exhibit quality and numbers at the Southern New England Pastoral and Agricultural Association show in Uralla last Saturday. About 2000 people attended as Hon. D. H. Drummond opened the event with Sir Hugh Croft praising the committee’s efforts to boost show mindedness and thanking J. P. Abbott for aiding damage payments and the volunteers who built cattle streets, booths, and the dining pavilion. Drummond outlined four major postwar priorities: Hot Springs conference on feeding futures, government food policy flaws and irrigation needs, British farmers’ visit fostering producer cooperation, and the UNRRA Lapstone conference highlighting Australia’s role in addressing food shortages. Delegates noted Australia could supply more food, but none was available, underscoring the need for a postwar cooperative approach and primary producer representation at conferences to prevent production suffering. Shows exemplified best cooperation.

Buffalo fly controlled by CSIR and Queensland team

The pest moved from Melville Island to the Roper River by 1911, reached Queensland by 1928, and the coast by 1943. New control uses 4 percent DDT spray and horn fly traps akin to American designs.
