One last thing, although the date of January 1939 is given for written publication. Perhaps Hugh S. Roberton did indeed first write and have the work performed in the 1920'a. There are records of Roberton going to Winnipeg throughout the mid 1920's-late 1930's. The BBC producer claimed he first heard it performed in Winnipeg. So perhaps Westering Home had been kicking around before the stated court date of formal publication in January 1939.
