Blowering The Tumut
Advocate and Farmers and Settlers' Adviser 6 December 1921 |
Many of
the Kiandra bullock teams are now going to Ganmain.
Junee and Cootamundra for the hauling of wheat. Years
ago the bullock dray was a fairly small one. It
became necessary to double the size in order to carry sufficient bags to pay. A modem
bullock dray can shift a small stack in one load. The
growing of wheat out this way is nearly a thing of the past. Oats seem to
have taken its place. The
hill slopes have been cleared for it. During
the last two weeks the reaper and binder have been
going from day-light till dark. The
crop this season appears to be exceptionally good. The paddocks already cut
are dotted over with thousands of little stooks. |
