Faulty Germination Of Lupin Seeds, B J. Quinlivan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE number of lupin seed samples tested in the seed laboratory over the last few years has shown a marked increase with the increasing popularity of lupins as a cash crop.
A seed with satisfactory germination is one which produces a healthy seedling. The germination of lupin samples tested in the laboratory has varied markedly.

Rapeseed. 5. Harvesting Methods, M L. Poole
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN Western Australia the warm dry spring and early summer allows rapeseed to be direct harvested when mature, whereas in most rapeseed-producing countries the crop must be swathed, allowed to mature in the windrow, and harvested with a pick-up combine.

Land Levelling With Scrapers, K R. Southon
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A VARIETY of earth-moving equipment can be used in preparing land for flood irrigation, but the best machine for extensive earth moving over some distance is a power-driven, carry-all scraper.
