Hand Feeding Sheep Address by David Kelly
Mr David Kelly of Wirrochra spoke at the Tichborne Agricultural Bureau on feeding sheep with hay or chaff to convert cheap crops into wool. He proposed dry young merino sheep on a ration of one pound of chaff daily, yielding good fleeces, and estimated profits from wheat and oats crops and feeding 100 acres for eight months. He argued 500 to 1,000 acre farmers could raise flocks, noting costs and breeding strategies, with guidance on feeding ewes before and after rambling.

Wool Market Turmoil Signals Shifts in Trade Flows
A report on wool markets notes weaker prices for inferior merinos and crossbreds at London sales, with foreign competition from France and Belgium keeping British mills cautious. Exchange pressures and bank curbs on woolbuyer drafts threaten stability, while Australian pastoralists press ministers on taxation and sheep-well capacity. Deputations to Prime Minister Bruce seek action on fellmonger profits and industry protections.
