Reports from the Murtoa fallow competition describe judging beginning in March with half the plots assessed before rain halted progress. New areas showed promise, depth and weed control judged, and straw presence noted as minor or potentially harmful. Comments from judges and hints of harvest timing suggest evaluating best fallow methods and awaiting clearer results.
A Horsham district military drill report describes a 40 day training period for a local unit. It notes attendance, expected high standards, and plans to form a capable team with field experiences from the recent Italian theater. The piece mentions a president and committee outcomes, fortnightly functions, and social aims amid wartime conditions.
Twenty five years ago the Horsham community discussed judging at the agricultural show, welcomed district soldiers later, and debated single or dual judging in the sheep and cattle divisions. Local store prices and farm activities reflect wartime era harvests and volunteer efforts.

The agreement would let registered vehicles move freely among states while complying with local rules including insurance, although uniform recognition of policies remains unresolved.

He defended foreign artist spending as under 1 percent of revenue and stressed the ABCs role in promoting Australian musicians and school broadcasts.
A Glasgow Weekly News reflection on a weary couple. The husband, overworked and facing danger, brings home a small box of chocolates and a kiss that becomes the “bit extra” that renews the wife’s faith and happiness amid hard times. This quiet moment underscores enduring love.
