- 1923 'DAIRY AND FARM PRODUCE SECTION
In what might be called the housewifery classes, a Geraldton lady, Mrs. A. W. Haigh, was conspicuous by the number and excellence of her exhibits, and romped home an easy winner for the society's special prize, obtaining 22 points, the next highest number being 11.
That bacon can be made in this district is certain. The exhibits proved it, and inside one regret more than ever the necessity for the discontinuance of the bacon section at the butter factory. Mr. A. T. Thurkle, of Dongarra, and The Ironbarks, were the most successful bacon exhibitors, and what can be so well done by amateurs could surely be profitably carried out under factory conditions.
