A note

1. Although this listing is mainly of published material, Heritage Branch regional survey reports and conservation studies would be highly useful material for historical research, as would property maps and plans of various periods held in the State Library.
2. SA Parliamentary Debates and Papers were not searched for specific information but are a basis for any research. For example, reports of the Minister of Agriculture (and his/her successors), including Roseworthy Agricultural College annual reports, and the Parliamentary Committee on Land Settlement reports (produced annually from 1946).
3. Legislation – for example the Waste Lands Act 1857 that set out the conditions for sale of Crown Land, and the Crown Lands Consolidation Act 1877 (concerning miscellaneous leases for grazing and cultivation), and the Crown Lands Development Act 1943 and the War Service Land Settlement Agreement Act 1945 under which War Service Perpetual leases were allocated.
4. The History Trust of SA annual conference papers, as well as a range of South Australian Historical Society publications (for instance, its journal), The Torrens Valley Historical Journal and ANZAAS conference papers might also fruitfully be searched.
5. Publications, papers or annual reports of other bodies (e.g. the Australian Oil Seeds Federation, the Faculty of Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences [Adelaide University] and the Plant Industry Division, Agronomy Branch, SA Department of Agriculture) could be researched.
6. Parliamentary Commissions of Inquiry and evidence
   • Zalums, E. (comp.), Bibliography of South Australian Royal Commissions, Select Committees of Parliament and Boards of Inquiry, 1857–1970 is an excellent finding aid.
   • Hagger, J. (comp.), Consolidated Index to the Checklists of Royal Commissions Select Committees of Parliament and Boards of Inquiry held in the Commonwealth of Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria 1856–1960, La Trobe University Library Publication No. 19, Bundoora, La Trobe University Library, 1980 lists 22 entries under ‘Agriculture, South Australia’. Other possible headings include Department of Agriculture.
   • A focused exploration of parliamentary papers and inquiries should be made. For example, the customs and excise tariffs minutes of evidence in SAPP58:1871 (the Royal Commission on Manufactures of Metals. Agricultural Machinery and Implements) are highly relevant. P. Donovan (In the Interest of the Country) noted the Report of the Select Committee of the Legislative Council on the Pastoral Land Management and Conservation Bill, 1989 (p.222) and the 1981 report on ‘The administration, management and tenure of South Australia’s pastoral lands: a report to the interdepartmental working group appointed to inquire into the Pastoral Act and the Dog Fence Act’, (p.225).
7. In 2003 the Department of History, Adelaide University offered an Honours topic on ‘A history of the Australian Farm Management Society (AFMS) and its contribution to farm management in Australia’. (The AFMS, active from the early 1970s, developed from the Farm Management Section of the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science, and wound up in 1997: see <http//www.roseworthy.adelaide.edu.au/~icooper/fmscsa/index.htm>. Several key members of the AFMS were South Australian, and some still live here: Mr Glenn Ronan (PIRSA and past national president of the AFMS) is one.

Bibliography

Theses

Below is a sampling of certain topics that come under the more general subject of South Australian agriculture (including agricultural education). Theses completed in History and Geography at Flinders University still need to be considered in detail (for example, some Honours are listed below but MA and PhD theses (such as Ellis, Julie-Ann, ‘Public land and the public mind: origins of public land policy in South Australia, 1834–1929’, Flinders University of SA, 1995) are still to be searched for). There may also be relevant material held by the University of South Australia (especially for its predecessor, the SA College of Advanced Education) and by interstate universities.

OH 1/7 Interview with William Frederick Cook

William Cook was born in North London in 1911. In 1927 Bill’s father, a goldsmith, brought the family to South Australia in search of better work opportunities. None eventuated for him and he returned home within a year. His wife and youngest son soon followed. Bill Cook, however, embarked upon an eventful three-year initiation of bush life in Australia – from very brief stints on a Mallee farm and Kidman’s Myrtle Springs Station to life on the track in New South Wales en route to the working man’s Mecca, Queensland (never reached), and work in the Mount Burr forest. Bill Cook settled in South Australia, never returned to England and never saw his parents again.

OH 1/24 Interview with Heinrich Alfred Klingberg

Heinrich Alfred Klingberg (1898–), one of 11 children, was born to German parents on a wheat farm at Arden Vale, north of Quorn. The Arden Vale School closed in 1910 and after a further nine months at a German school in Emu Downs for his Confirmation studies, Alfred began work. He spent four and a half years on his brother-in-law’s farm at Wyacca before returning home when two older brothers went to war. However, by 1921 it was evident that the farm could not support the three remaining sons and his father settled him on a 30-acre block in Quorn. Alfred became a labourer in the Loco Sheds at the Railway Yards and he married a local girl. Their two children were born in 1923 and 1925. When the Commonwealth Railways took over the Great Northern Line in 1926, Klingberg was placed at the Mile End Loco Yard (he had requested Peterborough) where he specialised as an engine greaser.

Summary: Geoffry Dix was the fifth of six children of an Ethelton fettler. His mother was the effective head of the household, supplementing the family's income by teaching piano and encouraging the three youngest children's musical development. During Geoffrey's childhood they performed as the Dix Family Band. Geoffrey left school aged thirteen and a half to become an office boy at Howard Smith Ltd. A year and a half later his skull was smashed by a horse shoe thrown up by a passing car. His speech was affected and he did not feel confident enough to return to office work. Instead he took on a succession of labouring and delivery jobs. During the Depression Geoffry walked to Sydney seeking work and in the thirties he built up his own bread rounds. In 1938 he began a 30-year career with the T & G Insurance Co. Mr Dix married in 1932 and had two children.

    Summary
    OH 334/1 Sam Jericho’s parents were pioneer farmers in Rudall, first taking up land in 1911. Sam worked on the family’s six farms until 1945 when he took over an undeveloped section and began putting into practice the methods he believed would get the most out of the local soils and conditions. He describes in some detail the elements of his farm plan; including rotating stock through small paddocks, fencing sandhill vegetation with rabbit-proof netting, planting bands of trees along fence lines as wind breaks, and using minimum tillage methods of cultivation for crops. He recounts in detail how he went about establishing 2000 new trees each year between 1975 and 1988. Mr Jericho concludes by referring to his property’s heritage agreement and explaining how he became the State winner of the inaugural Commonwealth Development Bank Ibis Awards for combining excellence in wildlife conservation and farming in 1989.

War Service Land SettlementThe main settlement schemes in South Australia were in the Lower South East, Kangaroo Island, the higher rainfall areas of Eyre Peninsula, and on the land set aside for irrigation purposes in the Upper River Murray district. The Land Board (GRG 35/198) allotted allocations on a competitive basis. For example, GRG 35/561/pt 1/Box 4, ‘Land Development Board Parndana East. Depot Buildings etc.’ Information on contracts, cartage, plant and stores disposal; and Penneshaw East Sale. (Includes stock agents’ auction catalogues).

GRG 35/193 ‘Classification Points’ gives the point system judged on interviewing potential settlers, and the form that was filled on application.

GRG 35/198 Soldier Settlement Commission (Melbourne 1954).

• ‘Letter Drafts’ includes procedures on settlers’ applications. For example, ‘Procedure on allotment’, lists the forms provided to the settler, i.e., Living allowance form, Tax concession form, Removal expense form, Acknowledgment form, Undertaking form, Detail of structural improvements, 12 application for Advance forms.
• ‘Letters etc. relating to meetings of C/tees’. Additionally, the War Service Land Settlement Central Classification Committee (there were committees for Dry Lands and for Irrigation areas) required applicants to fill a form for initial application for classification for land settlement. This was to be signed before a JP; three written references covering the applicant’s experience in primary production and/or regarding his character were to be provided; his personal appearance before a Classification Committee, at which he produced his discharge certificate, was also required. If men were still on war service they could apply to participate but no decision would be made before their discharge.

GRG 35/561, Box 1, Subject files – Kangaroo Island Office. Comprehensive information.
Land Development Executive

• Soldier Settlement records. These records contains folders that originally were probably used on Kangaroo Island for daily management of the scheme. Information includes boundary fence maps, town maps, and catalogues of the plant and equipment sales of 1962–63 etc.
  Several boxes in this series, including form letters for the South East district. One letter dated 28 June 1955 by the Director of Lands to W.A. Williams, Head Teacher, Parndana School, outlines the settlement scheme policy. (Williams requested the information to help with a course in farm book-keeping, which he intended teaching, presumably to soldier settlers.)

Sources of illustrations

Photographs/film/videos

It is likely that there will be far more illustrative material (photos, maps, films, videos, slides, glass plates) than can be incorporated in a single publication: existing publications etc show an extensive range of material. The option of doing a pictorial volume in addition to a volume of history could be considered: a ‘coffee table’ history of agriculture in SA could accompany the departmental history (either as part of a set or as a stand-alone volume).

State Library of SA pictorial collection (preliminary search only)
Search by ‘agriculture’= 42 (including Broken Hill)
Search by ‘farmhouses’ = 209 (including interstate).
The Searcy Collection = 18 722 photos (some only are of agricultural subjects).
PRG 23/6 includes albums of miscellaneous photographs of farming and station properties, horse-drawn vehicles, townships, farm buildings and implements.

The former collection of the Agriculture Department’s material is being sorted and arranged by Arthur Tideman and Trevor Roberts, including any material held in private hands that is suitable for incorporation in the collection.

The glass plate negative collection held by the History Trust of SA includes many interesting and rarely seen photographs of relevance to the history of agriculture.

National Library of Australia; La Trobe Picture Collection, State Library of Victoria; various government and private archives; RA&HS library etc. – not searched, but many are a rich archive of relevant photos.

McDougall, K., Winery Buildings in South Australia 1836 to 1936. Part 2: The Southern Districts, Working Paper 7, Architecture Papers, Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, The University of Adelaide, May 1983. ISBN 0 86396 027 8. [Reproduces archival photographs and photographs taken at the time of the study, and outlines the background conditions and early histories of 26 wineries.]

Maps

A range of historical and contemporary maps will be an essential component of any published work. The State Library of South Australia, the Royal Geographical Society of South Australia, the Geography Department at the University of Adelaide, and PIRSA’s library will be important for their collections of relevant maps (both broad-scale and for specific detail). Good quality mapping for publication can be prepared through PIRSA’s Publications Services.

Some further options for research

Records of the Waite Agricultural Research Institute have not been identified for this bibliography. The work of Prof. James Prescott on viticulture and soils, for example, may be one instance for generating material. (His son, Professor John Prescott, formerly of the Physics Department at Adelaide University, might be a possible contact for an interview.)

Many records (1908–1943) of Dr J.J.C. Bradfield (1867–1943) of the Public Works Department of NSW, a strong advocate of a scheme to provide an Australian inland lake through river diversion, are in the National Library of Australia (NLA MS 4712). The level of South Australian content has not been researched for this bibliography.

Catalogues for the State Libraries of, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia were not researched in any great detail for either manuscript or printed material for this bibliography.

AGRICultural OnLine Access (AGRICOLA) is a bibliographic database of citations to the agricultural literature created by the National Agricultural Library and its co-operators. Production of these records in electronic form began in 1970. Citations and abstracts only are provided. The Journals Indexed in AGRICOLA database is updated quarterly. This will be a useful guide, at least for identifying immediate past and current trends.

Publications of the Council for Australian Science and Industrial Research Organization (CSIR to May 1949; thereafter CSIRO) have not been searched, but CSIRO publication lists are extensive. For example, CSIRO Research for Australia: Agriculture, CSIRO Research for Australia: 16, CSIRO, Canberra, 1987.

The worth of searching for publications of the Agriculture & Horticulture Training Council of South Australia is unknown.

The Society for Engineering in Agriculture, Australia (for example, History of Mittze Bros., South Australia, prepared by John Fielke, Roseworthy) might have valuable findings in its records.
