From the Progress Report of the Royal Commission on the
               Agricultural Industries of Western Australia on the Wheat-Growing Portion of the South-West Division of the State:
Wednesday 6 June 1917 at Carnamah
ROBERT LESLIE GILBERT, Superintendant of Farm Lands, Midland Railway Company, sworn and examined:
     "We put under wheat the cleared areas of the unsold farms and in some cases we put in the crop for the first year for the new settlers. Last year we cropped 3,500 acres on behalf of ourselves and the settlers. The crop cost us £1 18s. 3d., inclusive. I think that given normal seasons the settlers can make good at present prices. They have had two bad seasons and with few exceptions they have proved inexperienced men, and some of them have been very slow in adapting themselves to local conditions. This applies also to some who had previous experience. The good yields have been brought down owing to the fact that much of the sowing was done too late. Mr. Bowman averaged 25 over some of his land, while another part of it gave only five bushels. Some of the settlers petitioned the London Board a short time ago. We received advice recently indicating the maximum concession the Company could make, and suggesting that the Lands Committee and Mr. Tate and myself should make a recommendation in each individual case. I went into each case and made a recommendation, and we have intimated to each of the settlers the concession we are prepared to make in regard to their holdings. They owe us £10,000 to £12,000. This year we do not take anything from them. Next year they are to pay us interest only and the arrears are to be spread over periods of five and ten years. One, a Mr. Watson, does not require any concession. He cropped the first year 120 acres and cleared 60 acres the next year. I let him a contract to 100 acres adjoining and another contract to take off a crop at Coorow. He is an exceptionally good man and he has a good team of horses. This year he averaged 23 bushels. Mr. Rooke took two block with 236 acres of crop. He got 4,2,42 bushels, which we had sown. The harvesters were going through it when he bought the farm. After deducting the cost of putting that in, on the basis of 4s. 2.d. per bushel, he was handed a net profit of £380 odd, which represents a reduction of 8s. 6d. per acre on the price of his farm, or, in other words, it paid within £50 the 10 per cent deposit he had paid to us.
     I cannot say whether the settlers who took up unimproved land are doing better than those who bought the ready made farms. Of course, they have had a pretty bad time also.
     We consider the values of the farms quite fair. We prepared 69 farms and we realise that we cannot sell these farms immediately they are prepared. We have a number in our hands and the interest on that money had wiped out any profit we would have got from the farms. Apart from that we believe that given normal seasons and proper methods this land is well worth £5 per acre. None of it is beyond five miles from the railway and at least 75 per cent of it is first class land. The Company has dealt with these people in a most sympathetic manner. We have never pressed them for their payments. It is to our interests that they should be successful, but in certain cases it is obvious that they could not make a success of the land under any conditions whatever. This year 46,000 bags of wheat we brought late Carnamah of which 25,000 bags came off ready made farms. These men have not yet had any chance of going in for stock. All the trouble arose through their striking two bad seasons for a start. We are still selling unimproved land at about Government prices, except that settlers are paying interest."
