Port Pirie Council Meets Harbors Board on Town Projects
Port Pirie officials discussed hydrant installation along wharfs to ease ship traffic and considered using Federz Do for aquatic sports. A plan to establish a boat house and fertilizer works near the Smelters was deferred pending Marine Minister G Rice’s return. Deputy railway improvements, shunting reductions and an earlier arrival in Adelaide were raised by Hon. G Webb. A farewell to Mr. J. Taylor highlighted his promotion to traffic inspector with thanks for his courteous service. Six Methodist ministers have died since last conference. A new conductor, Mr. Holmes, joined the BHLAS. The Bishop’s house tender at Gladstone was let for £8,631 2. The Children’s Playground upkeep remains a recurring council cost.

Superphosphates and Takeall in Wheat Disease Control
A Butl er experimental study with CF Jericho and the Department of Agriculture shows heavy dressings of superphosphate may curb takeall in wheat. Five years of plots reveal higher yields and reduced disease with 2 to 4 cwt per acre, while no manure or low dressings worsen takeall. Growth stimulation appears linked to earlier plant vigor, limiting disease activity.
