Why Poor Prices For Pigs?, P C. Beck
Why Poor Prices For Pigs?, P C. Beck
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A rapid increase in pig numbers and an unfavourable export situation have precipitated the present depression in the pig industry. Concentration on quality production and a gradual reduction in numbers should bring back a more stable situation, says Dairy Division pig specialist P. Beck. Big fluctuations in the pig population—the basic cause of cycles of boom and depression in the industry—would be avoided if more farmers adopted a fixed farm level policy towards the industry.

The Use Of Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Grain Production In Western Australia, William John Toms, G. H. Burvill
The Use Of Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Grain Production In Western Australia, William John Toms, G. H. Burvill
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
NITROGENOUS fertilisers have so far been little used in Western Australia for wheat, oats and barley grown for grain.
However, profitable results can follow their use under some conditions. Farmers who have seen field experiments are now interested in the use of nitrogenous fertilisers.Further interest will be stimulated by recent reductions in price.
This article answers common questions asked by farmers about nitrogenous fertilisers for cereals. It is based on over 100 experiments conducted by the Department of Agriculture during the past 30 years.

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE use of bulk superphosphate broadcast direct on to the paddocks is a new method of reducing fertiliser costs.
But it has long been known that broadcasting phosphate is less efficient than drilling it in with the seed.
The experiment reported here was designed to demonstrate this point.

Collecting Plant Specimens. 1. Specimens For Identification, Robert Dunlop Royce
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
PLANT NAMES and the naming of plant specimens are of fundamental importance in many branches of science, including agriculture.
To the farmer, too, accuracy in naming poisonous plants and weeds, as well as fodder and pasture species, can save much trouble and expense, and may be responsible for avoiding heavy stock losses.
