From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 11 May 1934:
Farm Tragedy - Thrown from Horse - Young Man Killed
"Alexander Stephen Morgan (22), a well-known and popular young man of Three Springs, died on Wednesday last, as a result of injuries sustained when he fell whilst mounting his horse a few hours previously. The deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Morgan, who own a farming property a few miles from the town. The accident occurred about six o'clock in the morning. The young man had gone out on his pony, riding with only a bridle and no saddle, to bring in the team horses. When attempting to mount his horse while he was doing this he fell on his head. He felt all aright, however, and was bale to bring in the horses and feed them. Mr. Morgan, on returning to the house, mentioned to his mother that he had had a fall, but it was not till later that he began to feel any ill effect. On his condition becoming worse Dr. Mayrhofer was summoned and the injured man was taken in the Three Springs hospital. Here he passed away shortly after midday through haemorrhage resulting from a fracture of the skull above the right temple. The deceased, who was a prominent member of the Three Springs football team, was the eldest boy of the family, and he and his sisters have been frequent visitors at Carnamah dances. The funeral will take place this (Friday) afternoon at 3 p.m."

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:
Friday 15 December 1916 at Mingenew
"FRANCIS JAMES MORGAN, Farmer, Three Springs, sworn and examined:
     Three Springs district has been settled agriculturally for nine years. There has been a reserve of 9,000 acres for an experimental farm on the western side of the [railway] line, but everything is on the eastern side, with the exception of what is known Mickey Brown's property, consisting of 17,000 acres. That property is still on the market. I have been there for six years. I was farming on the Chapman for about seven years previously. I took up 3,000 acres at Three Springs and I still hold it. It was Conditional Purchase land. For some of it I paid 10s., some of it 4s. 3d. and for the rest 3s. 9d.
     At what price did the Midland [Railway] Company sell land of a similar quality in this district? Some was £1, some up to 30s., but of no better quality. They made a better sale of their land than the Government did? Certainly. How did the Midland Company sell their land? By auction. Some was sold for as much as £1 12s. 6d. an acre. Is there any more Government agricultural land available here? No. There is any amount of sandplain. Would you call the sale of land by the Midland Company a genuine business transaction? My opinion is there is no land in this district worth more than 10s. Are any of those who paid that price going ahead? No; some are holding their own and some are not making a living. The Midland Company appear to have sold their land for twice the price asked by the Government? More than twice as much.
     If seasons had been normal and there had been no drought, would the settlers be able to keep their engagements here? They would have done no more than keep them. Do you think the land sold by the Midland Company is cheap? It is far too dear. But so far as the sale was concerned, it was legitimate and in the open market? Yes. Was the Government land available at the same time? There was a little available at the same price as mine at the time, and it was very mixed. It was indifferent land.
     How far are you situated from the [railway] line? Five miles south-west. I have cleared about 650 acres and more of it is ringbarked. Do you believe in ring-barking? Not in that class of country. Salmon gum and York gum I have cleared. The rest wants scrub rolling. It costs 25s. to 30s. to clear [an acre]. I have 2,500 acres fenced. My water supply is one well and two dams. The well is 35 feet deep and has a good water supply. There are not many wells of good water here; most of them are of inferior quality. The capacity of one dam is about 1,000 yards and the other about 600 yards. They are not covered in.
     What do they cost per yard? One cost 1s. 6d. and the other about 1s. They were done by myself and the price mentioned is what it would have cost by contract. The one dam is about eight feet deep and the other about four feet deep. They will see me through the summer and no more. They have been dry two or three times, but not last year because we had a storm in the summer. Usually they dry in April. I am a married man with six children, who have not attended school yet, because it is too far to send them and I have not been able to make arrangements for them, but I shall do so next year. There is no chance of getting a school nearer, because there is no one out there but myself. The school is five miles distant, but I do not blame the State for the absence of a school. Moora, about 80 miles distant, is where the nearest doctor resides. The Government has offered to subsidise a doctor and annual subscriptions have been promised to make up a salary of £450. The doctor was appointed, but he only stayed a day and went away again, because he was offered a better position among the timber mills. The fact is there are not many doctors in the country. I understand he was offered a £100 a year more in the other position.
     Have you a set of implements? Yes, and 15 working horses. I have 850 sheep and seven head of cattle. When I went to Three Springs first I had no capital, but I had 500 sheep, nine horses, and a plant of machinery. I have had financial assistance since from Elder, Shenton & Co. Through them a loan was arranged with Mr. George Lukin. I was privately financed, and Elder, Shenton still hold the lieu over my stock. The financial institutions are quite reasonable in supplying capital for stock purposes.
     The Government has a department of experts for the purpose of assisting farmers, wheat expert, fruit expert, dairy expert, and other experts, to investigate diseases in plants, etc. What assistance have you had from the department in developing your land, and what effect have they had in inducing better methods of cultivation? I have had absolutely no assistance from the department. Are their efforts of no benefit at all? None at all.
     The railway transport service at Three Springs is fairly satisfactory, and the [Midland Railway] company makes a reasonable attempt to carry on the settlers' business, considering the times. The frights on super are high, but the same remark applies to the Government railways also.
     I have 450 acres in crop, but no fallow. I believe in fallow, and it should certainly increase the yield. I have no fallow ready for next year. I use from 40lbs. to 45lbs. of seed to the acre, and 50lbs. of super. I have Federation, Yandilla King and Lott's middle season wheats. The highest average yield I have had was 24 bushels over 350 acres last year. This year I estimate my return will be 16 bushels. It requires three bags of a little more to pay for the expense of putting in and taking off [the crop]. A fair average yield for the district in normal years would be from 12 to 15 bushels. I use a four-furrow McKay mallee plough and a ten-disc Shearer. The Shearer takes eight horses. A fair day's work is from seven to eight acres. I use a 15 and a 13 [disc] drill. The 15 drill does about 17 acres [a day]. I have a six foot and a five foot Sunshine harvester. The six foot does seven acres a day, and the five foot about five and a half acres.
     Do you think the farmer could reduce his costs by the employment of larger machinery? No, because there is too much lost time in yoking up and unyoking horses, and I consider six horses quite enough for any man to handle. I do not know much about bulk handling [of grain] or whether it would reduce costs. I have not given any consideration to the tariff [on imported farm implements].
     I had a little rust last year, but nothing to speak about. I have tried some fodder crops, and artificial grasses, with but little success except the rape, although that was small, and was really an experimental plot. I have peach trees and vines, but I do not think any pip fruit will do any good here. I keep a few pigs, but not for market. The same applies to poultry. A man, in order to make a living at mixed farming under the best methods here, should hold at least 2,000 or 3,000 acres, and with help at harvest time, cropping, fallowing, and cultivating, he should be able to do 600 acres [of crop per year] all fallowed. But he would want help at seed time also. One man with one team would be doing good work if he cropped over 400 acres. I do not think the present land laws tend to encourage settlement. The process and the conditions are too severe. They were all right at the time I took my land up, but things are different now. There is land I would not have at the time, but I took another man up there and he was asked 7s. 6d. an acre for it. I got some of mine for 4s. 3d. Grazing land is better taken up under Clause 93 at £1 per thousand acres.
     Do you find that your sheep pay you better than anything else? Yes. I might mention that I am actually working four farms, as I have two brothers away at the war and I am working a plant on each of their properties, so it is difficult to say what it costs to work my own place at the present time. With a better water supply I would carry 1,200 sheep. Rabbits are getting round here, but they have done no damage so far to the crops. Dingoes were troublesome about four years ago, and are getting troublesome again now.
     There is no poison here, and there is not much in the district generally. Three Springs proper extends east about ten miles, and I have heard there is country taken up beyond that, but not yet worked. I think Three Springs has a prosperous future before it. I am quite confident of my own individual case. I consider that the land should be given free to the settlers for the first five years. The survey fee should be paid. Then there are many complaints as to the high cost of bags and machinery.
     The soil here is no very deep when you get into blue or white clay. There is a good subsoil. The rainfall is given by the department at 16 inches a year, but I consider that to be too high, although we have had as much as 19 inches. But the average would only be 13 or 14 inches. The Carnamah record over 20 years gives an average of 15.50. You should surely have about the same? Perhaps so, but I spoke of the last five years more particularly, and we certainly have not averaged 15 inches over that period.
     Did you have a total failure in 1914? No. I had 60 bags of wheat over 600 acres, but I had no hay."


From The Midlands Advertiser newspaper, Friday 5 December 1919:
"Mingenew Notes - Keen and genuine regret was felt here at the early death of Frank Morgan of Three Springs. He was a useful member of the local Road Board, and a sterling public man. Born near Mingenew, 39 years ago, his father died while Frank was still quite young. His mother a real battler moved to Dongara for several years, thence to Fremantle and Perth, where he grew to manhood. Returning to the district he worked for some time on Mr T. R. Readhead's station Melora, on the Upper Irwin. Enlisting from here, he served through the South African war, afterwards following farming pursuits on the Upper Chapman. Going to Three Springs with the early rush he quickly made good and was always conceded the most useful and respected citizen of that thriving centre. Living usefully and unselfishly he has left an enduring monument to his memory."

From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 8 June 1946:
Obituary - Late Mr W. Mutter - Passing of Old Dudawa Farmer
"The death recently occurred in a metropolitan private hospital of an erstwhile resident of Dudawa in the person of Mr W. Mutter, who for many years followed farming pursuits in that locality. The deceased gentleman came to this state from South Australia in 1927 and settled at Dudawa, in which district he was a very successful farmer. Many years ago he initiated an agitation for the formation of the Three Springs Road Board, and with the achievement of this objective he became a member of the Board as the representative of the Dudawa Ward. Failing health, however, compelled him to resign after having held the seat for a few years, and in 1939 he retired from active life and together with his wife left the district to reside at Belmont. In February last he was stricken with a serious illness and entered a city hospital in which he remained until death intervened. The late Mr Mutter is survived by a widow, one son and two daughters and there was quite a large assemblage of relatives and friends at the funeral conducted in the Methodist portion of the Karrakatta Cemetery."

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 26 December 1929:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Mingenew - Cereal and Pastoral Wealth - People and Properties
"Mr P. C. Neville has the distinction of possessing the highest individual average of the Yandanooka team that won the challenge shield for the district wheat yield competition last season. His average was 31.28 bushels. Mr Neville settled in Yandanooka in 1922, previously being in Bruce Rock. A native of Queensland, he served in Egypt during the war as a machine gunner. There are 746 acres in his block, and his 480 acres of wheat, he hoped, would average eight bags. Mr Neville also cropped 600 acres on shares, and this, it was expected, would give a five-bag average. The block carried around 300 ewes all the year round, besides the labs, during the season. Mr Neville complains that many of the settlers' blocks are too small, the result being a restriction of fallowing and recourse to share farming. He is the president of the Yandanooka Farmers' Association, and the branch of the Primary Producers' Association."
