The Outlook For Wool, Lamb And Beef, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
The Outlook For Wool, Lamb And Beef, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WOOL and fat lambs have been traditional products of farms in the wetter parts (20 inches of rainfall and above) of Western Australia's agricultural areas.
The prices for both these products are causing corncern and some farmers have already changed to beef production.
This article discusses the future prices for wool, fat lambs and beef.
Barley Diseases In Western Australia, W A. Shipton, W. R. Tweedie
Barley Diseases In Western Australia, W A. Shipton, W. R. Tweedie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BARLEY DISEASES caused by pathogenic organisms are capable of reducing yields considerably.
The recognition of disease is important so that control measures can then be taken at the appropriate time.
Report On Trials Conducted In 1978 And 1969 By Plants Research Division And Wheat And Sheep Division, J W. Gartrell
Report On Trials Conducted In 1978 And 1969 By Plants Research Division And Wheat And Sheep Division, J W. Gartrell
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
In the late 1920's the seven million acres of virgin land
between Hyden and Salmon Gums were considered for settlement under
the "3,500 farms scheme" because it constituted "practically the
only large area of wheat lands in a suitable climatic zone not then
settled in Australia" (Teakle 1939).

West Midlands Development : Poison Plants In The West Midlands, T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
TOXIC plants have caused considerable economic loss to stock raisers since the early days of settlement in Western Australia.
Although much is now known of the toxic materials contained in such plants, and although most of the plants have been thoroughly publicised, losses are still occurring in many areas.
Rates Of Superphosphate For Cereal Grain Production In The Under 20 Inch Rainfall Areas, Walter Jacob Cox
Rates Of Superphosphate For Cereal Grain Production In The Under 20 Inch Rainfall Areas, Walter Jacob Cox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
EVERY year farmers use large quantities of superphosphate with cereal crops to overcome the inherent phosphate deficiency of West Australian soils.
The increase in the average rate used by farmers reflects the increasing amount of new land being cropped.
Good seasons and favourable economic conditions may also have influenced super rates.
Cereal Eelworm : A New Disease Of Cereal Crops In The Geraldton Area, R J. Parkin, Olga M. Goss
Cereal Eelworm : A New Disease Of Cereal Crops In The Geraldton Area, R J. Parkin, Olga M. Goss
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
CEREAL eelworm (Heterodera avenae) is a potentially serious disease of crops which was seen in the Geraldton area for the first time in the 1966-67 season.
It was first identified in this State at Beverley in 1958 and later near Northam in 1963.
The Geraldton region has been the only area found to be affected since.
The disease was identified on eight properties in 1966-67, and a further ten properties in 1967- 68. There are indications that many more properties could be affected in varying degrees.
Land Resource Evaluation - Ninety Mile Tank Report On Trials Conducted 1968, 1969 And 1970 By Plant Research Division And Wheat And Sheep Division, J W. Gartrell
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
In the late 1920's the seven million acres of virgin land between Hyden and Salmon Gums were considered for settlement under the "3,500 farms scheme" because it constituted "practically the only large area of wheat lands in a suitable climatic zone not then settled in Australia" (Teakle 1939). At that time the sandy scrubplain soils were more a liability than an asset because methods of profitably farming the light soils had not then been evolved. These useless scrubplains merely increased the distances between patches of' more f'ertile soils. The scheme for settlement was based mainly on the potential of' the …

Lamb Mortality On Agricultural Research Stations, K P. Croker
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Progress report of a study of lamb losses in experimental flocks on Department of Agriculture research stations in the agricultural areas.
THE major barrier to increased production by the West Australian sheep and wool industry is the shortage of sheep in the agricultural areas of the State, and much research has been directed towards overcoming this shortage.

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
AS the t i t le implies, the vernacular name Watsonia is applied, not only to several species of that genus, but also to the related Chasmanthe aethiopica. At times some small flowered types of Gladiolus are also included.
Local Marketing Of Citrus Fruits, K T. Whitely
Local Marketing Of Citrus Fruits, K T. Whitely
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
CITRUS fruits are always popular on the local market but recently supplies from South Australia have made the market a very competitive one.
The situation demands the marketing of high quality citrus from growers in Western Australia.
The need to harvest the bulk of the Navel orange crop over a rather limited period and the resultant tendency for oversupply during that time also necessitates high standards of presentation to maintain firm prices.
Production Costs In The Apple Industry : Comments On A Survey, A W. Hogstrom, I. J. Moncrieff
Production Costs In The Apple Industry : Comments On A Survey, A W. Hogstrom, I. J. Moncrieff
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN 1964 and 1965, light and heavy bearing years respectively, apples cost $2.40 per bushel to produce in Western Australia. This figure, to be considered with many other factors, was reached in a cost-of-production survey of 45 selected growers.
Packing and labour costs, in that order, were the two biggest cost-of-production items.

W.A. Dairying : Progress In 42 Years, Maurice C. Cullity
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
From hardship and elementary standards, West Australian dairying has developed into a consolidated industry with larger herds, increased output and high quality production.
The changes he has seen are reviewed by Mr. M. Cullity who retired last month from the position of Chief of the Division of Dairying, after 42 years of service to the industry.
THE history of Western Australia's dairying industry has been a story of struggle against hardship, marketing problems and adverse criticism.
In spite of this the industry has steadily grown and greatly improved its efficiency.

PAPAWS grow very well in the Carnarvon area of Western Australia and throughout the north of the State.
Some produce quite well as far south as Perth.
