LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OUR Council in sulbmnitting their 43rd Annual Report and Financial Statement have pleasure in drawing attention to tlhe success which has attended tlie year's efforts. The gratification with which we are able to submit this record of success is doubly enhanced by tihe knowledge that the Allied.Arms have gained a great and glorious victory over the foes with whom they have been contending for the past 4 years. We are proud to know that throughout that long period the very flower of our Australian manhood has borne a share in the fighting which will ever redound to the glory of Australia and the greater glory of her noble sons who participated. GENERAL REVIEW. The 43rd Annual Show excelled in every sense our most sanguine expectations. Never in the history of the State have Stud Beef Cattle appeared in such numbers and quality as on this year, and the sales constitute a record which it will be hard to excel on any future occasion. The competitors were re- presentative of the best herds in New Zealand, Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and our own State, and the expert breeders who were present admitted that they were as astonished as they were pleased with the numbers and the quality of the animals exhibited. There was not one department of the whole Show which was not an improvement in respect to number of entries, upon those of the previous year, the demand for space, particularly in the Live Stock sections, being such that we were compelled to expend large sums in the construction of the additional ac- commnodation required. Quite a number of applications for space inside the Annexes had to be refused as were also ap- plications for space from Machinery Merchants, who wished to exhibit on the IIill. On the latter site not one available inch but was made use of, the whole area presenting throughout the week one of the busiest scenes imaginable. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. The financial position (as detailed on other pages) is em- inently satisfactory. Starting the year with a debit balance of £6,163/1/11, we have, apart from an expenditure of £2,707/0/10 made on Permanent Improvements and Furniture, reduced the liability by £789/13/2, thus showing an actual profit of £3,496/14/1 on the years transactions. The expendi- ture of £120 paid for Legal Expenses this year, but which is properly a charge against the 1919 accounts, makes the gross profit £120 better than shown. The revenue shows an increase of £2,519/6/4, as compared with that of 1917, the notable increases being Commission on. Sales, £496/12/3 as compared with £292, Entry Fees £1,359/9/9 as compared with £1,195, Gates, Grand Stands etc., £7,208/11/4 as compared with £6,626/7/9. The increase in Membership Fees is particularly pleasing, this year's figures being £2,548/1/6 as compared with £2,083/4/0. On the debit side, the principle expenditures showing increases as compared with the previous year, are Interest A/c £333/3/6 as compared with £100 on the previous year, Mainten- ance of Grounds and Buildings £471/5/3 as compared with £220, Prize Money £4,661/3/7 as compared with £4,291/14/1, Salaries £1,750/10/11, as compared with £1,360/6/1, Wages pre- paring grounds and cleaning up after Show £1,386/7/0 as com- pared with £1,260/12/0. The increase in salaries and wages is due to altered Wage Awards and to increases granted to members of the staff. It is interesting to note the steady improvement which has attended the Exhibition Sales since 1910, on which year the Commissions only amounted to £50, on the following year they increased to £73, then £83 followed by £100 in 1913, £104 in 1914, £152 in 1916, £292 in 1917 and this year £496/12/3. THIE OPENING CEREMONY. The Official Opening ceremony was performed by His Excellency Sir H~amilton J. Goold Adlams, at noon on Wednes- day, 14th August, the scene of the ceremony being again on the old position in front of the Grand Stand. his Excellency arrived on the grounds at noon, where he was ret b~y thle President (Mr. U.

  • Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D
    Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D. B. Waterson Received 27 September 1984 The pastoral, legal and political career of Joshua Thomas Bell niuminates certain aspects of Queensland in general and Darling Downs history in particular during a critical time in that region's evolution. When Bell first entered the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the Northem Downs constituency of Dalby in 1893 (a seat which he was to retain until his death nineteen years later), the colony, society and landscape of the Downs were about to undergo their third major transformation since the coming of European pastoralists and the hesitant establishment of selector-based agri­ culture during the 1860s and 1870s. Bell's personal origins and subsequent career - he was bom in 1863 - thus spans two of the most significant phases in the European history of the region.' Bell, scion of an old-established Queensland pastoral family, now in the hands of the financially unstable Darling Downs & Westem Land Company and its overdraft master, the Queensland National Bank, entered ParUament at the time of the massive financial crash in Queensland. Yet the DarUng Downs was about to embark on a thorough reconstmction and expansion of its mral enterprises. Bell's period in Parliament saw a rapid increase in mral productivity and population on the Downs - more than in other parts of Queensland, including Brisbane - and an acceleration of Toowoomba's rise to prominence as the regional capital. The application of new tech­ nology, particularly in refrigeration and plant breeding, the inter­ vention of the State in distributing old pastoral freehold estates to Professor Duncan Waterson is Professor of History, School of History, Philosophy and Politics, Macquarie University, Sydney.

  • 2021 Land Valuations Overview Western Downs
    Land valuations overview: Western Downs Regional Council On 31 March 2021, the Valuer-General released land valuations for 17,760 properties with a total value of $4,403,967,344 in the Western Downs Regional Council area. The valuations reflect land values at 1 October 2020 and show that Western Downs region has increased by 21.6 per cent overall since the last valuation in 2019. Rural land values have generally increased moderately, except for around Wandoan where there have been significant increases, due to the strength in beef commodity prices as well as a low interest rate environment. Residential land values in the townships of Dalby and Miles have generally remained unchanged, with moderate increases in Chinchilla, and moderate reductions within the towns of Tara and Wandoan. Commercial and industrial lands generally remain unchanged, except for some isolated changes along the Warrego Highway in Dalby. Inspect the land valuation display listing View the valuation display listing for Western Downs Regional Council online at www.qld.gov.au/landvaluation or visit the Department of Resources, 30 Nicholson Street, Dalby.

  • Wambo Shire Handbook
    WAMBO SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production of Wambo Shire, Queensland Compiled by: W. Bott, District- Adviser, Dalby Edited by: P. L. Lloyd, Extension Officer, Brisbane Published by: Queensland Department of Primary Industries September 1976 FOREWORD The Shire Handbook was conceived in the mid-1960s. A limited number of a series was printed for use by officers of the Department of Primary Industries to assist them in their planning of research and extension programmes. The Handbooks created wide interest and, in response to public demand, it was decided to publish progressively a new updated series. This volume is one of the new series. Shire Handbooks review, in some detail, the environmental and natural resources which affect farm production and people in the particular Shire. Climate, geology, topography, water resources, soils and vegetation are described. Farming systems are discussed, animal and crop production reviewed and'yields and turnoff quantified. The economics of component industries are studied. The text is supported liberally by maps and statistical tables. Shire Handbooks provide important reference material for all concerned with rural industries and rural Queensland. * They serve as a guide to farmers and graziers, bankers, stock and station agents and those in agricultural business. * Provide essential information for regional planners, developers and environmental impact students. * Are a very useful reference for teachers at all levels of education and deserve a place in most libraries. I commend this series to students of agriculture and all whose business is associated with the land and rural people. (V.B. Sullivan) Minister for Primary Industries ii CONTENTS Page 1.
