From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 9 January 1930:
Country Towns and Districts - Carnamah's Advancement
"Owning 903 acres of the Inering Estate, Mr. J. Frame is a solder settler who has done well. When he took over the block six and a half years ago, no clearing had been done, but the timber and scrub are all off now. This season he is hoping to average 18 bushels from 300 acres, 200 acres of which were on fallow in preparation for seeding. From 100 acres of premium wheat (Minister) he obtained six and a half bags. Mr. Frame is keenly interested in sheep, and he has 300 head of Murray strain. Included in his five pure bred rams is the one that took first prize as a two-tooth strong wool merino at Geraldton and Greenough shows. The ram was bred by Mr. I. Burges, of Irwin Park. Mr. Frame, who is on the committee of the Carnamah agricultural society, has taken first prize for fleece wool at the show for three consecutive years. During the war he served with the 44th Battalion. He takes much interest in the welfare of the district and is chairman of the Inering Progress Association. Before the war he was on the land at Three Springs."

Constable White reports leaving immediately for Tucker's farm and notifying Mr Tucker immediately, Mr Tucker left straightaway for Three Springs, returned to station at 11/30 p.m."
Tuesday 5 November 1940: "Constable White reports visiting Tucker's farm at 7 a.m., and making inquiries into the fatal accident of Henry Charles Franklin on the 4th inst. I visited the scene of the accident and also made examination of the wagon, horses, harness, etc., and took statements from Mr A. P.

I also took possession of all property of deceased, vide inventory, and Special Report to Coroner and District Office. Returned to station at 9/15 a.m."


From The Irwin Index newspaper, Friday 9 November 1940:
"Fatal Accident - As the result of injuries received in an accident on Monday afternoon last, a farm hand named Henry Charles Franklin, 64 years of age, who was employed by Mr. A. P. Tucker, of Carnamah, died in the North Midlands Hospital at Three Springs that night. At the time of the accident Franklin was engaged in driving a loaded wagon, and as far as can be ascertained he had just passed through a gate when another farm hand named William John Quinn, who was accompanying the deceased, alighted to close the gate. Quinn heard Franklin calling to stop the moving horses and then saw the deceased crawling from under the vehicle. Franklin appeared to be seriously injured and was unable to give any statement of the happening. Quinn stopped the team and then reported the matter to Mr. Tucker, who immediately returned to the wagon in company with his wife and motored Franklin to Three Springs, but the unfortunate man failed to respond to treatment at the hospital. A post mortem examination disclosed a broken pelvis and severed main artery which caused internal bleeding."

The Land Board approved his application to take up the 1,000 acre Victoria Location 4742 in Perenjori on 13 July 1911 ^{[39: 15-Jul-1911]}
He was the first farmer to settle at Perenjori and when he arrived the entire district was virgin bush ^{[120: 7-Feb-1929]}
Farmer of Quandongs Farm in Perenjori 1911-1942 ^{[6] [19] [152]}
     Began with 2,000 acres of land but within a few years took up another 3,808 acres, of which 3,000 was forest country ^[152]
     Initially the nearest railway siding was at Carnamah and his postal address was Carnamah until 1914 ^[6]
     Began with about £3,000 of his own money and further money borrowed from the Agricultural Bank and the W.A. Bank ^[152]
     Took no Industries Assistance Board help as he preferred to deal with the bank who let him sell his produce to whom he chose ^[152]
     For his first season he grew 30 acres of wheat crop, however it didn't come to very much on account of it being a bad season ^[152]
     In 1912 he had to cart all his materials the 40 miles from Carnamah to his farm ^[152]
     Grew 820 acres of wheat crop in 1915 which on yielded 16 bushels per acre, with 100 acre crop yielding 27 bushels per acre ^[152]
     By 1916 he had cleared 1,000 acres of his farm and had ring-fenced three sides of it ^[152]
     His water supply was from a dam and two wells, one of which gave good water and the other water only suitable for stock ^[152]
     The dam, which he made himself, was 800 cubic yards in size and was held water about seven feet deep ^[152]
     By 1916 their house on the farm had an iron roof, external iron walls, and lined walls throughout on the inside ^[152]
     He also had an open 40 by 22 foot machinery shed by 1916, but didn't have a machinery shed ^[152]
     In 1916 he had a Rumley tractor and 16 working horses, three cows, two calves and only five of his sheep left ^[152]
     Grew 740 acres of wheat crop in 1916 and in late November expected an average yield of 15 bushels per acre ^[152]
     He estimated that it cost him 25/- per acre to put in and take off his crop using his tractor in 1916 ^[152]
     Compared to horses his tractor was cheaper per acre, allowed a longer working day and could do more acres per day ^[152]
     Initially carted his wheat in bags to the railway siding on a wagon, which would cut six inches into the ground with the weight ^[152]
     In 1916 he carted his wheat to the railway siding in Perenjori with his tractor which didn't sink into the ground at all ^[152]
     Kept poultry, pigs and sheep for their own use, and in 1916 paid between £2/10/- and £2/5/- per week in wages to workmen ^[152]
     He said "...the men that I have are good men and I know them. Some days they work from daylight till dark as work presses" ^[152]
Gave evidence to the Royal Commission on the Agricultural Industries of Western Australia in Perenjori on 25 November 1916 ^[152]
     He believed farming machinery was too expensive because it was imported and then had duties imposed on it ^[152]
     His suggestion was that the duty be removed and that ultimately farming machinery should be manufactured in Australia ^[152]
     It was his opinion that a farmer should have at least 3,000 acres of land ^[152]
     He stated that "If I had known what I know now I certainly would not have come out to Australia to farm" ^[152]
     Nevertheless he believed he could make a success of farming, especially if farmers could get cash for their produce ^[152]
     Practically and ethically he strongly disagreed with wheat being pooled and the farmers not getting paid until much later ^[152]
     His main problem was he had to practically pay cash for everything yet he had to wait to get paid for his wheat ^[152]
     He also stated that it would be beneficial if farmers could get breeding ewes on extended terms, to make a start with sheep ^[152]

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 7 February 1929:
The Beginning of Perenjori - Pioneers Still Farming
"Faith in the district is shown by the first pioneer, Mr. R. F. Fullerton, remaining there to this day. He arrived there in 1911, when it was all bush, and there was no settler within many miles. For a few month he eked out a lonely existence, until he was followed by Messrs. T. and M. Farrell, W. Forrest, W. Beatty, Hesford Bros., T. Keogh, W. Payne, and D. Smith. Mr. Fullerton took up a selection timbered with York and salmon gum, and a sprinkling of sandplain. His first crop was 12 acres, which did not justify harvesting. His stock consisted of a pair of horses, which he had brought at Carnamah, and a few sheep which he bought at Mullewa - a flock he increased later to 3,000. Eventually he increased his holding to 2,000 acres, clearing at the rate of 200 acres a year. He had compensation for his unsatisfactory results in [the drought of] 1914 by securing an average in the following year of 27 bushels from a 200-acre paddock, with an all-round average of 23 bushels for the farm. His latest crop turned out about 15 bushels, through his Nabawa [wheat] went 22 bushels. He is carrying a few hundred merino sheep, and his clip averages 8lb. per head. A feature of the farm is the substantial shed and yard accommodation."
