Ellington District agricultural outlook 1919 review
From our own correspondent in Buermoat December 30 1919 a comprehensive look at 1909 crops shows a fairly bright outlook though returns are not as heavy as hoped.

Harvesting nears completion with two thousand acres to be cut near Dripstone Railway Station and farmers rush to secure returns with extra machines.
