COTTON is grown in the Ord Valley of north Western Australia, mainly as an annual, irrigated crop during the hot summer months of the "wet season".
It is usually planted in November-December and harvested March-May.
This period of growth corresponds closely to that of maximum insect activity.

Experimental work with linseed at the Kimberley Research Station began in 1952 and has been intensified in the last four years.
Fertiliser requirements and methods of land preparation, sowing, irrigation and weed control have been established.
Suitable varieties have been selected. Farm-scale crops have been grown in the area and, although cotton is very much more remunerative as an establishment crop, it is expected that linseed will ultimately have a place in the Ord irrigation scheme.
