Irrigation progress cited at Horsham field day
Commissioner Translow praised a pioneering irrigation area near Limestone Ridge and urged Murray valley districts to follow its lead. He noted some regions with long irrigation years lagged behind Horsham, due to a lack of practical farmers and know how. Society president Mr. T. Newton said the next field day would be in March 1940 and the annual tour of the northern irrigation areas would likely be in the same month.
