Water rights protest over Horsham soldiers’ tomato crop
Three Horsham returned soldiers with overseas service sought to buy 20 acres near a State Rivers Commission to irrigate their tomato crop. They were refused a five acre temporary permit though storages were full. Local committee claimed 13 acres could serve all local soldiers, while 100 acres remained unused. The commission warned of dangerous precedent, leaving the men ready to let a public body tend and harvest the crop rent-free with proceeds to the Food for Britain appeal.
