DRURY
Around some sections near the Drury railway station there are large tracts of gorse which* has been allowed to run unchecked for some time. This is a bad advertisement for the district as it spreads so rapidly. Oats are very fair. One farmer—perhaps the best in the district—has prudently covered all his hay stacks with old sacking to prevent damage by rain. This is worthy of especial note. Some good maize running over 4ft in height can be seen crossing land looking in the pink of condition. Good plain wire fencing with trimmed posts, about 20ft apart preserve the cattle from damaging the roadside. These erected on the main road give the township a distinctly neat appearance. Well done Prury!
