Prune-Now Advice for Fruit Trees Amid Early Spring Growth
The article urges pruning as trees begin flowering and sap rises. Drought in recent springs slowed growth, so growth is stalled in many trees. Hard cutting and topping now can stimulate new shoots for next season, while vigorous trees with ample lateral life should not be overloaded. Sacrifice current yield to favor future fruitfulness.

Destruction of Noxious Weeds Reported by Inspector Berry
The Mandowa Shire Council heard from Noxious Weeds Inspector J Berry after a thorough survey. Landowners largely aided weed destruction, with examples of residents organizing youths to clean up before and after school. Berry noted Crown Beard spread and Yellow Daisy in several sites, including on Baldwins property and near Watsons Creek, likely spread by traveling sheep. He urged control before seeds form, warned of burying seeds, and flagged other weeds such as Cabbage, tobacco relatives, and Boxthorn along ranges and roads. Overall effort shows widespread but uneven progress across Manilla and surrounding districts.
