Bees In Box Hives, A Kessell
Bees In Box Hives, A Kessell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
The keeping of bees in other than properly appointed hives with standard frames is illegal in Western Australia as such hives make it almost impossible to inspect the swarms in order to check for disease. Nevertheless, beekeepers occasionally encounter swarms which have established themselves or have been established in fruit cases or other types of boxes or containers.

More Beef From The Kimberleys, Grant A. Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Beef production in the Kimberleys is an industry which has eked out a precarious existence for many years. Today it is offered an unprecedented opportunity for expansion on sound economic lines, and it is the purpose of this article to offer some suggestions as to how this may best be achieved.

The Martyrs, Maurice Maeterlinck
The Martyrs, Maurice Maeterlinck
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Little city abounding in faith and mystery and hope, why do your myriad virgins consent to a task that no human slave has ever accepted? Another Spring would be theirs, another Summer, were they only a little less wasteful of strength, a little less forgetful of self, in their ardour for toil; but at the magnificent moment when the flowers all cry to them, they seem to be stricken with the fatal ecstasy of work, and in less than five weeks they almost all perish, their wings broken, their bodies shrivelled and covered with wounds." —"The Life of the Bee," …
Here's The Answer
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Fowl pox: Could you please advise me how to cure a disease which has affected many birds in my flock of pullets during the past two weeks? The birds were hatched in July last and commenced laying three months ago in December when they were 5 1/2 months of age. They reached a 60 per cent, lay three weeks ago and I thought I was set for a good season but now their production has dropped to a 30 per cent, level, presumably as a result of this disease. Several birds have died and many more are looking very sick …
Concerning Mushrooms, H M. Gloster
Concerning Mushrooms, H M. Gloster
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
By most people, the umbrella-shaped fungi commonly seen in our paddocks during the autumn and early spring, are somewhat arbitrarily classed as either "mushrooms" or "toadstools," and it is generally believed that the mushrooms are edible and the toadstools are poisonous.
Cereal Variety Trials, I Thomas, J Reeves
Cereal Variety Trials, I Thomas, J Reeves
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Each year cereal variety trials are conducted on the wheatbelt research stations with the object of determining the most suitable varieties which can be recommended for planting under Western Australian conditions. The location of the five wheatbelt research stations is such that the results obtained from trials on these stations present a reasonably overall picture for the wheatbelt and the farmer is able, by comparison with his own soil and climatic conditions, to translate the results for himself.
The Composition Of The Dwalganup Strain Of Subterranean Clover, A B. Beck
The Composition Of The Dwalganup Strain Of Subterranean Clover, A B. Beck
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Subterranean clover is now the major pasture species in Western Australia and according to Elliott (1948) nearly 90 per cent, of the sown pastures of this State have a subterranean-clover base or were originally sown with this species. In spite of its great economic importance, no data have been published showing the chemical composition of the clover growing in this State. In order to fill this gap in our knowledge, series of samples of the Dwalganup strain were collected from three localities. These have been analysed by the Government Chemical Laboratories and the results are presented in this paper.
Argentine Ants
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Specimens of ants submitted in February by the Rockingham Health Inspector were identified as Argentine ants, these being the first recorded from this area. Two areas of infestation are present in the Rockingham townsite—one adjacent to the hotel and the other near the Fisher Street jetty. Active steps were taken by the local authorities to bring the infestation under control.
Rifle Ammunition
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
The Minister for Agriculture (Sir Charles Latham) recently discussed the question of supplies of 0.303 and 0.310 ammunition with the Federal Minister for Supply as the Agriculture Protection Board is anxious that farmers should obtain adequate supplies of ammunition for the control of vermin.
Seasonal Reminders
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Veterinary Notes for May-June By officers of the veterinary branch.
Sheepmen who have not already done so should lose no time in immunising their flocks against infectious entero-toxaemia ("pulpy kidney"). This disease may occur anywhere in the agricultural areas and is often prevalent during the Hush season of the year.
Brown Rot And Collar Rot Of Citrus, W P. Cass Smith
Brown Rot And Collar Rot Of Citrus, W P. Cass Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Plant disease
Brown rot is a serious disease of citrus, which fortunately has proved to be readily controllable. It attacks both leaves and fruits causing partial or complete defoliation, and a rather characteristic fruit rot. The disease may also affect the bark of citrus trees in the basal trunk region resulting in "collar rot," or as it is sometimes called, brown rot gummosis. This phase of the disease will be referred to later.
North Of The Nullarbor Plain, A. R. Tomlinson, C. K. Blair
North Of The Nullarbor Plain, A. R. Tomlinson, C. K. Blair
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
For a few hardy dingo-trappers—experienced bushmen able and willing to endure the rigours pf a nomadic existence in a waterless country - the area to the north of the Nullabor Plains has long been a favoured watering ground. In the 1949-1950 season bounties were paid on about 3,000 dingo scalps from this area.
Editorial - His Work Endures
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
In presenting the first issue of the "Journal of Agriculture" in its new form, it is with profound sorrow that we chronicle the passing of the Hon. Garnet Barrington Wood, M.L.C., Minister for Agriculture and the North-West, who died suddenly during a Cabinet meeting on January 2. The change of policy in the presentation of this Journal was keenly supported by the late Minister, and only a few hours before his death he had promised to write a foreword to the first issue, which was to have appeared on this page.
Orchard Notes - March-April
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Cover crops should be planted with the first winter rains to ensure satisfactory growth before the cold wet weather sets in. New Zealand Blue Lupins are the favourite crop, particularly amongst citrus orchardists. The lupin is a vigorous plant and produces excellent bulk. Tick beans may be used as an alternative crop and are useful in shaded positions. They are extensively used in commercial vineyards. Field peas may also be planted but the bulk of green material produced is much less than from lupins or tick beans.
More Windmill Shut-Offs, "Martingale" .
More Windmill Shut-Offs, "Martingale" .
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Since we printed the description of a type of automatic windmill shut-off used on Abydos Station, Port Hedland, in the issue of December, 1951, several readers of the "Journal" have written to describe alternative methods of pulling a mill "out of the wind" when the tank is filled. In a number of cases there were variations of the same idea, and in this article the main principles are described, together with some other ingenious gadgets which the author has encountered over the years.
Poison Plants - Pituri, C. A. Gardner, H. W. Bennetts
Poison Plants - Pituri, C. A. Gardner, H. W. Bennetts
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Only a few of the drug-yielding plants found on their hunting grounds appear ^* to have been known to the Australian aborigines. Among those used and valued was the plant called "pituri" by the Central Australian tribes. The leaves of this plant, after drying and suitable preparation, were chewed as a narcotic.
Some Instructive Field Days, "Martingale" .
Some Instructive Field Days, "Martingale" .
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Although fully conversant with the old newspaperman's adage which states that "Yesterday's news is the bath-heater fuel of today," we make no apology for including these reports of field days held after our December issue had gone to press. It is felt that they contain some useful lessons which, even at this late date, are deserving of emphasis.
Aids To Better Shearing, W. L. Mcgarry, J. Reilly, M. Butler
Aids To Better Shearing, W. L. Mcgarry, J. Reilly, M. Butler
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
The demonstrations and instructional work in shearing that have been carried out in the farming areas have revealed the universal difficulty among learner-shearers in "getting a cut." Experience has shown that this absence of good cutting in handpieces has been due in large measure to the general lack of knowledge regarding grinding and the correct adjustment or "setting up" of the combs and cutters on the handpiece. Poor cutting has also resulted from the common practice of using combs and cutters that do not match, together with faulty handpiece maintenance. These and other factors leading to such poor results will …
Diphenyl Wraps For Oranges, F. Melville
Diphenyl Wraps For Oranges, F. Melville
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Diphenyl impregnated wraps have been successfully used on a commercial basis overseas for improving the keeping quality of oranges. Last year Mr. E. G. Hall, of the C.S.I.R.O. Laboratories, Homebush, kindly made available a quantity of diphenyl wraps of American origin and some of these were used in a small storage experiment with Washington Navel oranges.
Apples, Pears,And Stone Fruit, H. R. Powell
Apples, Pears,And Stone Fruit, H. R. Powell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
Disappointing settings of pome fruits have been a feature of this season's crop reports. Hail caused heavy losses in restricted areas and a lot of fruit was blemished by looper caterpillars. The setting of stone fruits was particularly good.
Recent Advances In Veterinary Medicine, J. Shilkin
Recent Advances In Veterinary Medicine, J. Shilkin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
During and since the years of World War II many notable advances have been made in the treatment of human ills and in many cases a secondary development of these discoveries has been the use of new substances in the treatment of disease in domestic animals.
