Phalaris Staggers : Prevention By Cobalt Bullets, Bryan J. Gorddard, P. P. Mann, A. J. Hadlow
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FARMERS in the south west of Western Australia are familiar with the use of cobalt for the prevention of ill-thrift and deaths due to cobalt deficiency in sheep and cattle.
Less common is the use of cobalt for the prevention of chronic phalaris poisoning, known as phalaris staggers.
This condition is well known in eastern Australia, but only isolated cases have been recorded in W.A. no doubt due to the relatively small area sown to phalaris in this state.

The History, Characteristics And Potential Of Kondinin Rose Clover, E T. Bailey, N. B. Gayfer
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Experimental and field performances of rose clover over fen years suggest that it will be increasingly used as a pasture legume in south-western Australia.
A number of lines differing in maturity and leaf markings have been selected locally and given cultivar (variety) names
The first of these lines to be selected was designated Kondinin. This paper describes its origin, history, characteristics and performance.
