The Minister of Railways states railways do not control superphosphate forwarding. The department provides tracks to manufacturers and distributors ship tonnage by order. Since season start over 160 000 tons have been moved to localities, with recent coal shortages and a contractor strike causing delays. Farmers urged to spread orders across November to February to smooth supplies. A profile of farmer Mr. Smart details his large wheat and sheep operation, mechanised Mt. Rupert Station, and reliance on staff cooperation and updated machinery.
