Haybox Cookery, H M. Gloster Sep 1952

Haybox Cookery, H M. Gloster

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

In the humble haybox we have an inexpensive form of fireless cooker which will be found ideal for the preparation of soups, stews and other dishes requiring long, gentle, even cooking. The haybox operates by retaining the heat in partly cooked pre-heated dishes, long enough for the cooking process to be completed.


Farm And Home, Helen M. Gloster Sep 1952

Farm And Home, Helen M. Gloster

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The King asked the Queen, and the Queen asked the Dairymaid, 'Could we have some butter for the Royal slice of bread?'" A. A. Milne's lines have been somewhat plaintively paraphrased in many Australian households during recent months—for as a nation we are very partial to butter and the enforced reduction of consumption has not been kindly received.


An Economy Hint Sep 1952

An Economy Hint

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Instead of discarding coarse green outer leaves of lettuce when making salads, wash them thoroughly and break up roughly between the fingers. Carefully remove any discoloured portions then cook the remainder as one would cook silver beet or spinach. Serve with butter, pepper and salt as a green cooked vegetable

Plant Diseases - Entyloma Leaf Spot Of English Marigold, R F. Doepel

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The English marigold or calendula is a hardy ornamental which is widely grown in gardens throughout Western Australia. With the exception of eelworm attack on the roots it is seldom troubled by diseases and this feature has no doubt contributed to its popularity.


Hormone Weedicide Injury To Grape Vines, W P. Cass Smith Jul 1952

Hormone Weedicide Injury To Grape Vines, W P. Cass Smith

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

During the present season, serious injury to grape vines from 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, proprietary weedicides, has been noticed on two occasions. In each case the damage, which included killing of vines outright, was brought about by spraying weeds between the rows or on headlands.


Late Or Irish Blight Of Potatoes, W P. Cass Smith Jul 1952

Late Or Irish Blight Of Potatoes, W P. Cass Smith

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Late or Irish Blight, caused by the fungus Phythophthora infestans, is the most destructive disease of potatoes in many countries. Fortunately it has proved to be uncommon in the main potato areas of Western Australia as suitable weather for its epidemic development seldom occurs for sufficiently long periods. The disease is encouraged by periods of warm muggy weather during the day, followed by relatively cool night temperatures.


Peach Leaf Curl, W P. Cass Smith Jul 1952

Peach Leaf Curl, W P. Cass Smith

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Peach leaf curl caused by the fungus Taphrina deformans is a very common disease in this State during the spring and early summer. In addition to attacking both edible and flowering peaches, the fungus also attacks nectarines, almonds and apricots. When preventive measures are neglected the disease may be anticipated yearly commencing in spring.


Shot Hole Of Stone Fruits, W P. Cass Smith Jul 1952

Shot Hole Of Stone Fruits, W P. Cass Smith

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Shot hole of stone fruits caused by the fungus Clasterposporium carpel s philum occurs yearly and is more difficult to control than Leaf Curl. It is often particularly damaging on early almonds, peaches, plums and apricots which come into growth in late winter or early spring while the weather is still cold and wet.

Insect Pest And Their Control, C. F. H. Jenkins Jan 1952

Insect Pest And Their Control, C. F. H. Jenkins

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Methods of insect control are sometimes classified under the four following headings—Quarantine, Cultural Methods, Biological Control and Chemical Treatments. Each method has its own particular part to play in preventing the spread and multiplication of insect pests and it is essential for maximum results that everyone—whether he be a commercial grower or a backyard gardener—has a general understanding of the principles involved.
