District Agronomist Reports On November Harvest Conditions
District Agronomist J W Boyle notes November was hot and dry with light to moderate rain late month, delaying relief but enabling harvest progress. About 75 percent of wheat delivered, excellent harvesting weather, and good yields despite light average yields. Fallowing limited by rain, oats harvested well, linseed yields satisfactory with price support, lucerne hay demand high, and seed supply concerns. Summer crops planted slowly due to weak germination, maize struggling, grain sorghum needs rain, vegetables plagued by pests including pumpkin beetle and green vegetable bug. bronzy wilt in tomatoes rising.

Wool Tax Averaging Critically Examined By Expert
Treasury officials have a wool industry averaging system that has given primary producers a tax advantage exceeding £109 million. The author notes a looming reversal as incomes fall, with estimates that over the next five to ten years producers could face £50 million more in tax than other taxpayers with similar incomes if they stay in the system. He cites a 1932-34 Royal Commission finding and provides an example showing a small grower paying £2433 under provisional tax instead of £15. About 300,000 producers exist, but only 37,500 would be affected by proposed modifications, with many still paying less than non primary producers. The piece also discusses withdrawal mechanics, noting irrevocability once the average income dips below the average, and comments on current agricultural conditions including drought effects on pastures and fodder.
