NRS-14588 | Original shire schedules

Full description

These record the season, area of farm, area recommended to be ploughed, and other information required by the local committees for wheat stabilization.

All applications for farm registration and growing licenses were sent to the State Committee in Sydney and from the information on these the Shire schedules were compiled. They were sent to the Shire Committees who subsequently made their recommendations. These recommendations were the State Committee's basis for action. From the Shire schedules the Farm schedules were compiled for easier handling and became the working records of the local administration. (1/279-89). 11 boxes.
