A Marketing Bureau report from the Department of Agriculture notes NSW wheat acreage sown to June 15 at seven million acres excluding destroyed areas, with potential increases after that date if late sowing benefits arise. Dry weather harmed sowing, stubble access was limited, oats rise noted, and widespread rains have since improved crop prospects.
Demand in London wool auctions rises with stronger private inquiry for shipments to Sydney, easing recent price declines. Continental orders for wool remain steady, and European buyers show renewed interest. Australian mills absorb more Australian wool as Germany tightens imports while home demand recovers in Britain, though overall foreign trade remains below prewar levels.

Poultry pens for the second age of renting must be cleaned and in repair for receiving chickens. Remove young stock from the colony yard if not already done to keep pens fresh. Keep pedigree records by marking matings on the chicken’s foot. Feed at regular intervals with appetites keen, avoid food on the floor, and prepare land to be weed free for September planting.
