Agriculture In Western Australia. 3. The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 1, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom

IN West Australian agriculture there is a considerable "backlog" of information available to farmers which is not being used in practical farming. This, of course, is true of agricultural industries anywhere in the world.
This "backlog" results in a big difference in productivity between the best farms and the "average" farms in each district.
This article is a simple economic study of the potential of one shire of Western Australia.

Stocking Rate And Wool Production At Kojonup, Davies H. Lloyd, A. W. Humphries
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
RESEARCH workers in several parts of the world have recognised the overriding importance of stocking rate in raising animal production per acre.
This article describes some of the initial work on the effect of stocking rate on wool production and liveweight change in medium-Peppin Merino sheep.
The work was carried out at the C.S.I.R.O. "Glen Lossie" Field Station at Kojonup, Western Australia.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA deservedly enjoys the reputation of being a producer of oats of high milling quality.
Because of this, we have been able to develop valuable export markets which pay a premium for our oats.
For some time Ballidu has been rated as the best milling oat in W.A.
The work reported in this article indicates that other recommended varieties are equal to or better than Ballidu for milling.

The most promising varieties in last year's trials were the 2 row crossbreds W44 and W45 and the 6 row white grained variety Atlas 57.
BARLEY variety trials were located on four Research Stations and on farmers' properties at Northampton, Tammin and Mt. Barker. Brief details of the characteristics of the varieties and crossbreds under test were given in a previous article.

A KNOWLEDGE of market conditions and procedures is not of direct importance to some primary producers.
For example, cereal growers as individuals are neither in a position to negotiate prices nor does their production have any direct effect on prices.

MASTITIS is a major cause of financial loss in over half our dairy herds.
Losses result from treatment costs, milk discarded, permanent loss of milk production, culling, lowering of solids-not-fat content and loss of butter-fat production.
Mastitis CAN be controlled. This article outlines the basic principles of mastitis control in the milking shed.

THE Ord Irrigation settlement has recently planted its second commercial crop of cotton.
Research and planning toward the development project has been systematic over the last 20 years and has included hydrological surveys and dam-site investigations by the Public Works Department soil and topographical surveys by both the Department of Agriculture and C.S.I.R.O., and concerning farming methods both by research station investigations and by pilot farming.
