In the Murrumbidgee Flats near Cooma NSW, JT Webb recalls 1908 and the following years when scarce rainfall left little grass yet melon crops provided abundant feed. Webb reports fattening wethers and lambing crossbred ewes on melons, improving condition of ewes and rams after eight weeks, with no losses or blindness among stock. He notes many neighbors also thrived on melon, challenging critics of the crop.

Prices for Flour and Potatoes in Western Australia
The Federal Prices Commissioner reports potato prices have held at 17s per cwt for 15 months. Scarcity in the South Western districts and reduced Eastern shipping may cause a famine in Metro areas. Provisional rise to loading ports may occur until supplies normalize. Flour prices remain fixed since April 19, with bulk buyers unchanged. The Wheat Board raised wheat by 2d per bushel to millers, offset by higher offal costs.
