A Progress Report On Commercial Cotton Growing On The Ord River Project, William John Toms
A Progress Report On Commercial Cotton Growing On The Ord River Project, William John Toms
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The recommendations given in this article have been built up from the experience of the author in growing 200 acres of cotton in the Ord River area during the 1962-63 season for the Department of Agriculture, from findings made by Kimberley Research Station, and from discussions with the present farmers in the area.
When a new form of agriculture is introduced into a new area techniques and ideas change rapidly as farmers become acquainted with their new environment and the new crops. The recommendations will therefore require constant revision.
Foliage Diseases Of Lucerne, S C. Chambers
Foliage Diseases Of Lucerne, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Lucerne is subject to several foliage diseases in Western Australia, the more important being common leaf spot, rust and downy mildew.
These fungal diseases are all favoured by humid conditions and are especially prevalent in lucerne stands growing under irrigation.

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
SEPTORIA leaf blotch is a relatively common disease of oats in the southern cereal areas of Western Australia.
In some seasons it causes severe lodging.
Spraying For Grasshopper Control, T J. Tozer
Spraying For Grasshopper Control, T J. Tozer
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A BIG increase in cereal growing in the "hopper" belt has brought a general improvement in the grasshopper situation over the past few years.
This highlights the emphasis entomologists have placed on cultivation as the best known way of controlling grasshoppers.
Pasmo Of Linseed And Flax, S C. Chambers
Pasmo Of Linseed And Flax, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Pasmo is a foliage disease which may cause severe damage to plantings of linseed and flax approaching maturity.
The disease is favoured by warm humid conditions and is especially destructive when crops have lodged extensively as a result of storms.

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MANY farmers are concerned about the apparent increase in webworm numbers in recent years.
It has been suggested that the problem is now more widespread and the outbreaks more regular than a few years ago.

Bare Patch And Poor Emergence Of Cereals. 4. Quality Of The Seed, S C. Chambers
Bare Patch And Poor Emergence Of Cereals. 4. Quality Of The Seed, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The importance of using fresh good quality grain for sowing wheat crops was emphasised by results obtained in recent plot trials.
Seedling emergence was less for broken, pinched and small types of seed than for large grain and was further reduced with ageing of the seed.
Recommended Wheat Varieties : 1963, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Recommended Wheat Varieties : 1963, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE State Wheat Advisory Committee has issued its official list of recommended wheat varieties for 1963.
The list includes the new rust resistant variety Gamenya. Two other new varieties—Mengavi and Claymore—are provisionally recommended for trial sowings on farmers' properties.
Only Gamenya and Mengavi are resistant to the races of stem rust now present in this State.
Recommended Wheat Varieties : 1964, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Recommended Wheat Varieties : 1964, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE State Wheat Advisory Committee has issued its official list of recommended wheat varieties for 1964.
Cereal Variety Trials, 1961-62, J T. Reeves
Cereal Variety Trials, 1961-62, J T. Reeves
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING the 1961-62 season cereal variety trials were sown at eight research stations in the medium and low rainfall areas of Western Australia.
Control Of Weeds In Processing Peas, J G. Paterson
Control Of Weeds In Processing Peas, J G. Paterson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
GROWERS of processing peas face many problems not the least of which is the control of weeds.
Crops which are to be harvested for canning or freezing must be practically weed free if good returns are to be obtained.
A summary of the results of trials carried out in 1962 to test recent developments in the chemical war against weeds in crops of processing peas.
Wild Oats In Wheat, J G. Paterson
Wild Oats In Wheat, J G. Paterson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Trials with a new chemical suggest that economical control of wild oats in wheat is only possible in heavily infested crops.
I N recent years there has been a marked increase in the incidence of wild oats in the wheat areas of this State. Three factors have been responsible.
The F.A.Q. Standard For 1962-63, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
The F.A.Q. Standard For 1962-63, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE term f.a.q. refers to "fair average quality" as a standard for the sale of wheat -*- produced in Western Australia during any particular season.
The practice of using this standard developed after a standard sample of wheat grown in 1904 was obtained and declared to have a bushel weight of 62 lb.
The Doublegee, G R W Meadly
The Doublegee, G R W Meadly
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DOUBLEGEE, like a number of other major weeds, is native to South Africa. It was introduced to Western Australia during the first years of settlement.
There is no more troublesome weed in Western Australia than doublegee. It competes strongly with crop and pasture and its spiny fruits penetrate the hoofs of stock, causing lameness.
Take-All Of Wheat On The Esperance Downs, S C. Chambers
Take-All Of Wheat On The Esperance Downs, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE agricultural development of the Esperance Downs was reviewed recently by Shier, Dunne and Fitzpatrick (1963) who indicated the great potential of this region.
They described the establishment of clover ley pastures capable of supporting heavy stocking rates. Crops of oats or linseed also give excellent returns.
Weed-free rotations which include linseed, oats or vetches may reduce wheat losses caused by take-all on the Esperance Downs.

In this article chemical and cultural methods of control are considered in relation to this background information.
Hints On Sampling Premium Wheat Crops, J A. Parish
Hints On Sampling Premium Wheat Crops, J A. Parish
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
EACH year much of the premium wheat received by millers is inferior in quality to the samples on which the premium bids are based. This often leads to reduction in the premium paid.
Cereal Products Adviser J. Parish, B.Sc. (Agric), describes how samples can overestimate the quality of a crop and suggests methods of taking samples which will give a true estimate of crop quality.
Iron Deficiency Of Oats In The Lower South West, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick, R. Sprivulis
Iron Deficiency Of Oats In The Lower South West, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick, R. Sprivulis
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Oats grown on the acid peaty sands of the West and South Coastal areas of Western Australia develop iron deficiency.
This deficiency can be cured by spraying with iron sulphate. A 2 to 4 per cent, solution can be applied through a low volume spray without damage to the plants. The spray should be repeated when deficiency symptoms reappear.
Growing oats on these soils is not recommended.

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN November-December, 1963, the first five farmers allocated land in the Ord River Irrigation Area planted their first crop of cotton, which is expected to be the major crop grown in the area.
The crop was harvested in May-June, 1964, and has since been sold.

Deep Sowing Of Wheat : The Effect On Root Systems, S C. Chambers
Deep Sowing Of Wheat : The Effect On Root Systems, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DEEP sowing appears to be an important cause of poor emergence in wheat and care should be taken to seed at the recommended depth of 1 to 1J inches.
Nevertheless some growers in drought liable areas, persist in sowing at 2 to 3 inches in the belief that it will encourage a deep root system.
