UNDERBOOL – The Weekly Times 6 October 1923
In the early part of last month, we had a fair amount of wind which dried the surface of the ground. About the middle of the month, however, some useful rains fell, and 134 points were registered during one week.
The caterpillar pest has almost passed away, and the damage does not appear to be as great as was at first estimated. On September 20 a terrific wind storm struck the town and caused considerable damage. The roof of a partly finished concrete house was taken off. On many farms pine trees were blown down, and sheds and outbuildings damaged. Several haystacks which had been opened for cutting were blown about. The crops are looking well — a fine healthy green. The growth on the sandhills has been slow and some of the late crops are very backward. Still the prospects are good, and with useful showers in October a substantial harvest should be gathered. In preparation for the harvest some of the wheat sites in the low-lying portion of the railway yards
have been built up with limestone.
