Northam Agricultural Show Highlights and Winners

The Northam Agricultural Society show drew strong interest over two days. Dairy, bacon and poultry displays impressed judges with Avon Butler Bacon Co and Messrs Clark and Phillips cited for excellence. Prizes covered butter, bacon sides, wheat, oats, wines, vegetables, citrus, dairy cattle, horses and pigs with notable names including W Padbury judge and exhibitors Wilding, Klopper, Hooper and Cottons. A strong wind and rain reduced attendance on the second day.

Bowles Charged With Embezzling Government Munitions Funds

The Lincoln court heard that Lionel Oliver Bowles, once an assistant inspector for the Ministry of Munitions, embezzled 750 pounds from a secret invasion payment scheme. Envelopes with drafts were sent to inspectors in 1918 and Bowles diverted funds to his own account, exhausting drafts before the scheme ended. The case exposes the grim threat Britain faced during wartime.

Milk Production From Heifers Depends On Early Good Rearing

Mr C Howard reports from NSW Bureau findings that well reared heifers reach mature weight and higher production sooner. He notes that good feeding adds 300 to 500 lb in final cow weight, and stresses breeding age 24 to 30 months with adequate nourishment for best dairy capacity and profitability.
