Mine Sweepers Battle Hidden Threats in WWI Test
The article recalls early mine sweeping in World War I as the United States and British navies tackle floating contact mines. It describes sweepers using long antennas, wire, and improvised wooden hulls to detonate or remove mines. Navy experiments and the shift from manual to mechanical methods reduced risk to crews and allowed broader mine clearance operations.

Manuring tips for Gippsland wheat growers debated
An article from the Times notes a Maldon district farmer now in D offers guidance on liberal manuring. He cites applying 14 cwt per acre of superphosphate to potatoes and 200 pounds per acre for grain, arguing the fertilizer pays for itself through better yields and pasture. Reports from Miram Kerang and other districts claim heavier applications improve hay and wheat yields, stock feed, and overall farm profitability, though top dressing in wheat is not yet universally proven.
