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.

The crop was harvested in May-June, 1964, and has since been sold.
