A visitor reviews Harvey's Citrus Show from 1905 to 1913 noting committee leadership, prize evolutions, and profits. It traces how weather, venues, and innovations shaped attendance, entries, and finances as the event grew into a celebrated local showcase.
A 1915 Perth letter from W J Ashton informs Agricultural Society members of changes to the Pig Section at the Royal Show. Berkshire entries must be registered in the Herd Book of Australia or descend from registered pigs. The cutoff date for entries from this state is November next, with entries after that date limited to descendants of pigs registered via a recognised Herd Book.
Letter from Private R O Charman recounts Sergt Jim Lowe of Harvey killed at dinner time while British troops paused under a cliff like brow. A sniper shot him in the forehead as Turks spotted two men at 300 yards. Charman, wounded, notes the dangers of the Turkish front and the difficulty of locating the scene.
Farmers expect higher pig prices and seek green crops for fall and winter grazing. Trials show an acre of rape can yield pork comparable to maize on similar land with lower sowing and harvesting costs.
