First load of new season wheat reaches Georgetown from Noonan farm
Early last week the first load of this season's Aussie wheat arrived for Mr. R. B. White, agent for the Farmers' Union, from Mr. P. J. Noonan's Narri dy district farm. The sample, 64 lbs to the bushel, is clean and promising with an expected 8 bushels per acre. A thunderstorm then hit the area bringing heavy rain that alleviated water concerns, while a hay stack near E. B. Lang's paddock was struck by lightning. Community events included Georgetown Baptist S.S. anniversary services led by Rev. W. R. Steadman, with notable performances and a well-received programme, and the annual strawberry fete for St. Mary's Church despite poor attendance due to weather.
