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:
Saturday 16 December 1916 at Three Springs
"CHARLES HENRY GOOCH, Farmer, Three Springs, sworn and examined:
     I have been seven years here. I had very little experience previously in Sale. I hold 3,600 acres of Midland [Railway Company] land. The average price is 10s. 10d. Eleven hundred acres are first class land; the balance is sandplain seven miles from the railway. I have 450 acres cleared and 100 acres rung and scrubbed. It is all fenced and divided into six paddocks. The water supply is a dam of 1,000 yards. We excavated it ourselves. The price at the time was 1s. a yard, but it is not a permanent supply. When it runs out we do the best we can from our neighbours. It is 10ft. deep and good holding country. The house is a humpy. There are no stables. I have an implement shed. I put £4,000 into this property. I have a full farming plant, 13 working horses and 135 sheep, 30 donkeys and 13 pigs. We use the donkeys for wheat carting and can go where teams of horses cannot go. I work 15 in a team. I used to bring in 55 cwt. where Billy Dean could only bring in 40 with his eight horse team. I have 430 acres under crop this year. I believe in fallow, but I have not got any. I sow from ¾ of a bushel to one bushel per acre and 50lbs. of super, but less on heavy land. The highest average yield I have had was 2,300 bags over 400 acres. I expect 1,500 bags this year. To pay the actual expenses of putting in and taking off would amount to 12 bushels. I use a 10-disc Shearer plough, but there is no doubt that larger machinery would lessen costs, as well as the selection of wheat that is best suited to the district. My experience is that one has to try and find out what is best. I have experimented and I found Bunyip and Federation are the two standard wheats for our locality. Bulk handling should reduce costs. The grain could be carted in tanks in drays. I have no considered the question of the tariff [on imported farm implements].
     I have never had any disease in my crops. I pickle, but do not grade my wheat. I have tried fodder and artificial grasses. I had a sample of Japanese millet which has grown to a great height and only had rain on it. Our pigs do very well here. I do not think a man would make a decent living on less than 2,000 acres or 3,000 acres here with the water supply given in. A man should do 400 acres himself annually, 400 in and 200 fallow. My son has put all my crop in. I suggested to the Midland [Railway] Company that they should extend the terms of payment of rent for three years and make the payments due later.
     We put down 12 bores without any satisfactory results; that is why we have no sheep. I have hoped of getting well water as all my neighbours have it. Sir Walter James was watching me at work on 12ft. Bore. He borrowed my plant and got water within half a mile at 50ft. So long as the farmer has to pay these ridiculous rates of wages he has no hope of prosperity. I think they ought to drop the duty on bags. They cost about 10d. to 11d. delivered we only get 1½ d. for them back. The rise in fright on a single bale of bags is abnormally high."


From The Moora Herald and Midland Districts Advocate newspaper, Friday 9 July 1920:
"Three Springs - It is with regret that I have to chronicle the death of Mr. C. Gooch, of Three Springs, which took place at his residence in Dongara. Much sympathy is felt for the widow and family."

From The Irwin Index newspaper, Friday 2 November 1956:
"Three Springs Farmer's Death - The death occurred under peaceful circumstances during Friday night last of a well known identity of Three Springs in the person of Mr. Sydney Cornelius Gooch, who had for many years been the victim of abnormal health conditions occasioned by war service, but which at all times he had borne with great fortitude. The funeral took place on Saturday last in the Dongara Cemetery, in which the remains of his parents were laid to rest some years ago. The late Mr. Gooch, who was of a jovial and kindly disposition, was born at Sale (Victoria) and was sixty eight years of age. With his parents and two brothers and two sisters he arrived at Three Springs in 1909 and commenced commercial farming operations. A few years later, however, he enlisted for service in World War I as a member of the 44^th Battalion of the Australian Imperial Forces and saw lengthy service in France, but was discharged from military service with war disabilities which he retained until the time of his death. Despite his health condition however, he took over the farm again on his return from overseas and transformed the holding into a highly developed property. In addition, he founded a stud and became well-known as a breeder of Koonoona blood sheep. Twenty years ago he married Miss P. Vince, a member of an old family on the Greenough Flats, and in addition to the bereaved widow he is survived by one son and two daughters. In his younger days the late Mr Gooch rode with quite a large volume of success at race meetings at Three Springs and also at other centres, and in addition to the Three Springs Race Club and other district organisations he evinced quite an active interest in the Three Springs Agricultural Society and the Three Springs - Arrino Sub-Branch of the R.S.L. Some few years ago he was compelled to enter Hollywood Hospital, in which institution he remained for treatment for over a year. Apparently restored to health he then returned to Three Springs, but early this year he was again stricken with ill-health. On this occasion, however, he chose to remain in his own home, in which he passed peacefully away in his sleep during last Friday night."
