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
"JAMES KINNEAR HEBITON, Farmer, Three Springs, sworn and examined:
     I have been here for seven years and was previously a guard in the Railway Department. I have 482 acres which cost £1 an acre and 300 of them first class land. I have 150 acres of second class land and 30 acres of stone. The property adjoins the town. I have cleared 350 acres which is subdivided into four paddocks [fenced] with three wires. I am a married man with three boys attending school. I have a four-roomed weatherboard and iron house and no stabling. My implement shed cost £150. I have a set of farming implements, seven working horses, four young foals, three cows, three calves, four pigs, some fowls and turkeys. I had £73 when I started. I was on the Agricultural Bank and went to the National Bank afterwards. I owe them about £850.
     I put in 250 acres this year. There was no fallow. I have not enough land to go in for fallow. The highest average yield I had was last year, 19 bushels over 250 acres. I expect 15 bushels this year. To pay the actual cost of putting in and taking off would take 10 bushels. I would expect more than 15 bushels in a normal year if the land was fallowed. Bulk handling would reduce our costs. It is the tariff that hurts us most. If the farmer requires £600 worth of machinery at Fremantle we have to pay 32½ per cent duty and 25 per cent for the man distributing. That would total about £1,000. If the duty was free and he got his 25 per cent it would come down to £750, and that would go a long way to build a decent house for wives and families.
     I had septoria last year at the start. I run my wheat through the winnower and pickle it. No man should hold less than 1,000 acres here and should be able to crop with a little help at harvest time 250 acres with five horses in a three-fallow plough. I do not believe in big terms, but I do believe in co-operation for the purchase of supplies and the marketing of produce. I have been trying to get the farmers in it. Then there are railway freights. Amongst us we got up 12 bales. The fright came to £4 12s. 8d. At the same time there was one bale in the same truck that cost 16s. 10d. Our bales averaged each 9s. That is a small instance of the value of co-operation. Our land laws are very liberal, but as long as the man is improving his land he should have the first five years exempt. So far as the tariff is concerned, if we manufactured here and did not require to import anything vessels would come here empty to take away the grain and the freight would be proportionately increased. As for the railway rates, the further one lives away from the city the more one pays for freight. On the railway it costs £7 5s. 5d. freight on a reaper thresher from Fremantle, £6 9s. 5d. to land a harvester, £4 17s. 6d. to land a motor car. A 2,000 gallon tank costs £6 14s. 9d., four head of cattle cost £2 13s. 11d., one horse costs £2 2s. 6d., and yet each of these items only occupied a [rail] truck. The man who gets his goods in small lots is hit up every time, and the difference is far too big. To show the increase in the railway freights I may point out that B class jumped from 28s. 10d. to 31s. 7d.; C class from 43s. 3d. to 47s. 4d.; first class from 61s. 2d. to 79s. 8d. Groceries come in under this heading. Second class jumped from 80s. 4d. to 104s. 8d., and third class jumped from 99s. 5d. to 129s. Parcels have also gone up slightly. 'Parcels to pay,' if they cost 2s. 6d.m, it amounts to 3s. 9d. here. It is awkward because you do not always know what the cost is. The loading charges: they charge us 3s. for counting 18 bags. The minimum on chaff is £3 10s. on a small [rail] truck. I can only get about 30 bags to the ton. A few years ago the rates were cheaper. I had only 10s. a day when I left the Railway Department and I had no worry while I was on wages. Now I keep going but my life is one long worry. The working man is getting far too high wages and it all reacts on the farmer. If I was in the Railway Department, unless I was forced to become a member of the union I would not do so, and it is not fair that we should be charged one-half as much more in Geraldton for handling as we are in Fremantle. I believe that co-operation is the solution of the whole trouble. The already heavy cost of living in the bush is steadily mounting up. Free trade and co-operation combined are the main factors in prosperity."


From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 23 February 1929:
"Mr. J. K. Hebiton and Mrs. Hebiton have just returned to Three Springs from a visit to Perth, where at the Brisbane Street Methodist Church they attended the weddings of Messrs. Don and Bob Hebiton. On Saturday, February 15, Mr. Don Hebiton was married to Miss Olive Cocking, and on Monday, February 18, Mr. Bob Hebiton and Miss Evelyn Cocking were pronounced man and wife. The Hebiton family must surely hold a record for a father and three sons have now married four sisters. This is a magnificent testimonial to the family from which so many charming brides have been wooed and won."


From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 26 December 1929:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Mingenew - Cereal and Pastoral Wealth - People and Properties
""Prize wheat growing is my hobby." says Mr. J. K. Hebiton, snr., "so perhaps that is why I have been so successful." To be permitted to inspect the many and varied trophies won by Mr. Hebiton in crop and wheat competition is to realise what an outstanding wheat grower he is. On six occasions he has annexed "The Sunday Times" trophy at the [Perth] Royal Show for the champion bag of wheat. The highest yield he has ever obtained was an average of 40 bushels from 50 acres of Major. Mr. Hebiton is at present working on a three-year rotation, but he intends to enlarge the cycle by another year. He has two properties - Inverbeg, consisting of 1,500 acres, which grows most of the champion wheat, and Bonnie Doon, chiefly a grazing property. When a guard on the Midland [railway] line, almost over twenty years ago, he first acquired land in the district. Having been manager of the North Midlands Co-operative Society for eight years, Mr. Hebiton resigned this year. He is a J.P. and as secretary of the hospital building fund he has rendered sterling services."


From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 5 October 1933:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Carnamah - Rich Pastoral and Wheat Lands - A Progressive Community
The Hebiton Family - Some Notable Achievements - The Hebiton family is closely identified with the progress of Three Springs. Mr J. K. Hebiton, sen, the proprietor of Inverbeg. A property that has a State-wide reputation for its prolific wheat yields per acre, is a native of Sydney, New South Wales. At the age of four years he was taken by his parents to Glasgow, Scotland, where he remained until he reached manhood. The early impressions of sunny Australia were ever with him during his long sojourn in the land of fogs and mists, and they eventually determined him to return. Securing employment as a guard with the Midland Railway Company, he had ample opportunity to learn the outstanding value of the land at Three Springs, through which he frequently passed, and he decided when the opportunity offered to avail himself of it. Eventually he selected 482 acres on the conditional purchase system in vogue at that time, and has since augmented this by purchase to a total of 9,600 acres, which includes the Bonnie Doon property of 8,000 acres. Though only cropping 500 acres annually, Mr Hebiton usually wins a yield of seven bags or even more to the acre, and it is on record that he has obtained an average of 40 bushels per acre from a 30-acre block. This splendid result is only one of the many outstanding achievements as a wheat grower achieved by Mr Hebiton. Below is given a more or less detailed record of the prizes he has won in open competition since 1918. His property also carries 1,700 Merinos and 100 head of horses and cattle. Mr Hebiton, notwithstanding his strenuous activities on the farm, also manages to find time to devote to the social improvement of the district. A Committeeman of the original local hospital, he was also one of the originators of the scheme to build the present substantial and useful institution, of which the residents of the district are justly proud, and of which he is one of the financial guarantors. He is president of the local Agricultural Society, a director of the North Midlands Co-op Company, and a member of the Primary Producers' Union since its inception. As far back as 1918 Mr Hebiton, annexed the cup for the champion bag of wheat at the Royal Show, a success which he repeated in 1919 and 1921, and in the latter year he won the gold medal for bushel of wheat open to the Commonwealth. In the wheat yields competition in 1923 he gained first prize, with a yield of 25½ bushels to the acre from 426 acres, and in 1924 he again obtained the Royal champion prize. In that year, too, he won a bronze medal at the British Empire Exhibition for wheat exhibits, a success repeated in the following year. The Royal championship again came his way in the years 1926, 1928, and 1930. In 1930 and 1931 he won first prize in a 50-acre crop competition carried out by the Three Springs Agricultural Society on the first occasion with 31 bushels to the acre and on the second with 40 bushels. In 1931, too, he was the winner of the Royal Crop Competition in Zone 1 of the wheat belt, the yield being 40 bushels, and in 1932 he gained second prize with a yield of 37 bushels. Although he lost the first prize in the royal competition, he gained first in the crop competition conducted by the Three Springs Society. When Mr Hebiton has not been gathering in the trophies his sons have taken his place. Mr J. K. Hebiton, jun, won the Royal championship in 1920, 1929, and 1932, and also the championship prize at the Sydney Royal Show in 1929. Another son (Mr G. B. Hebiton) won the Royal championship in 1931."


From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 17 November 1951:
Late J. K. Hebiton - Public Spirited Citizen - Wide Field of Interests
"The death occurred in the North Midlands District Hospital at Three Springs on Friday of last week of Mr James Kinnear Hebiton, who is survived by his wife and four sons. A public spirited citizen, who gave generously of his time in the interests of his fellow men while endeavouring to further the progress of the district, he led a busy life into which he crowded a wealth of activities indicative of his practical mind and interest in a wide variety of subjects. The late Mr Hebiton, who had resided in Three Springs since 1910, convened the first meeting to construct a new hospital there and became the secretary of the building committee. He had been a director and later chairman of directors of the North Midlands Farmers' Co-Operative Company Limited. Amongst his other activities had been that of chairman of the Northern District Council of the Co-Operative Federation - a post which he occupied for many years. He had also carried out duties on behalf of the Methodist Church in the capacity of secretary and treasurer. Keenly interested in the land, the late Mr Hebiton was a foundation member and a past president of the Three Springs Agricultural Society, in whose annual exhibition he manifested unflagging enthusiasm. In addition, he was a foundation member of the Farmers and Settlers' Association and later a member of the Primary Producers' Association and the Farmers' Union of W.A. He took the chair at the meeting called to form a branch of the Junior Farmers movement at Three Springs - typical of the fact that he always had the welfare of the younger generation at heart. The deceased gentleman acted as auditor for the Northern Division of the Country Women's Association for two years and as auditor for the Three Springs Branch of that Association for thirteen years. He was, too, keenly interested in football, a sport which he assisted by serving for a long time on the disputes committee. The funeral took place last Saturday in the Presbyterian cemetery at Karrakatta, where the last rites were carried out by the State Moderator (Right Rev. James McMaster). The pall bearers were Messrs H. Worthington, R. William, J. Payne, E. Hunt, E. W. Franklin and J. Callagher.

     Between them they took up 4,240 acres, half of which was forest, in five blocks which cost on average about 11/- per acre ^[152]
