Flax Growing Initiatives Spread Across South Australia
South Australia undertakes 8000 acres of flax in fields across Laura Wirrabara Murraytown and other districts. Seed from New Zealand totals 532 tons for Northern District growers at 15 per bushel with 3 per cent weed penalties and a 27 inch stalk minimum. The program aims to ease war shortages and diversify agriculture, with government contracts and district committees guiding sowing and delivery to flax mills.

Critique of Child Endowment Scheme by Bishop of Willochra
In a Willochra letter from July 1941 the Right Reverend R. Thomas denounces the Commonwealth Child Endowment bill as panicky and ineffective. He argues the decline in birth rate is moral, not economic, urging stronger morals, premarital instruction, revived religion, patriotism, family duty, and land tenure reform as solutions.
