Check Your Milking Machine, T Pavy
Check Your Milking Machine, T Pavy
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MILKING machine efficiency testing carried out by officers of the Department of Agriculture's Dairying Division have shown that many machines are not up to standard.
One reason for this is that farmers do not check their machines regularly.
Irrigating Dry Season Crops In The Ord Valley : How To Prepare Land For Sowing, D F. Beech
Irrigating Dry Season Crops In The Ord Valley : How To Prepare Land For Sowing, D F. Beech
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE best way to grow dry season crops of safflower, linseed and rapeseed under irrigation in the Ord Valley is by sowing on to broad flat ridges, separated by small furrows 3 ft. 6 in. apart.
This system of sowing is called the "corrugation" method.
A Modified Copper Hot Water System, F J. Fielder
A Modified Copper Hot Water System, F J. Fielder
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A good supply of hot and boiling water for cleansing and sterilising utensils is essential for hygienic milk production.
Dairy Instructor F. Fielder, M.D.D., describes an efficient and economical modification of a copper hot water system for this purpose.
SINGLE copper units of 14 or 16 gallon capacity to supply hot and boiling water for the dairy are no longer good enough for most dairy farms.

The Importance Of Rapid And Complete Milking, K Needham, W. G. Robinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
COMPLETE withdrawal of milk from the udder as quickly as possible after the process of "let-down" has started, is an essential in good milking; management.
Australian Tractor Tests : International A554d : Report On Test No. 36 (Farmers' Edition), G H. Vasey, W. F. Baillie
Australian Tractor Tests : International A554d : Report On Test No. 36 (Farmers' Edition), G H. Vasey, W. F. Baillie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS Report is taken from the full Technical Report No. 36; results are shown here in briefer form: fuller explanations are added.
Values quoted may be rounded out to two instead of three significant figures; to this extent the values may differ slightly but not significantly from those shown in the Technical Report.
The Effects Of Tillage Implements On Cereal Yields, H M. Fisher
The Effects Of Tillage Implements On Cereal Yields, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Careful soil preparation is essential for cereal crops grown without fallow on clover ley land.
Crops give better yields where the land is broken up with a mouldboard or disc plough rather than a scarifier or similar machine.
The implements differ appreciably in their capacity to control weed growth and this is largely responsible for variations in cereal yields. "Takeall" disease is reduced by efficient weed control.
