The Agricultural Co-Operative Movement In Japan, G C. George
The Agricultural Co-Operative Movement In Japan, G C. George
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Agricultural adviser Gil George, the author of this article, returned earlier this year from 21/2 years' study in Japan, where he gained a Diploma in Japanese Language from the Osaka Institute of Foreign Studies and a Master's Degree in Economics from Hitotsubashi University, one of Japan's foremost economic institutions.
In Japan he examined the post-war development of the Japanese agricultural co-operative movement, and some aspects of marketing of agricultural products.
He also participated in the Japan- Australia Project (a committee studying the interdependence of the two economies), carried out some work for the Japan Economic Research Centre and edited papers …
Rapeseed Cultivation And Usage, M. Dolores Ahles
Rapeseed Cultivation And Usage, M. Dolores Ahles
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Rapeseed, an oil-producing crop that was cultivated in pre-Christian times in India and the Orient but was generally given up, has again become an important source of protein oil and meal. In Canada, now the leading export producer, rapeseed output is surpassed only by wheat, oats, and barley. Cultivation and processing as well as the history of this crop are discussed.

Composition Of Arkansas Grapes During Maturation, Cameron Jones, Dominic T.C. Yang, Thomas O. Whitley
Composition Of Arkansas Grapes During Maturation, Cameron Jones, Dominic T.C. Yang, Thomas O. Whitley
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Changes in organic acid and glucose content during maturation and ripening of grapes grown in Arkansas in 1973 are shown for four French hybrid varieties, S5279, S10878, SV23- 657, and S13053, and for four rotundifolia varieties, Scuppernong, Tarheel, Fry, and Magoon. In all varieties the concentrations of malates and tartrates were highest in the early stages of berry growth after veraison. During ripening the titratable acidity decreased and Balling and pH measurements increased. Although varieties reached maturity on different dates, changes in parameters followed similar curves typical for grapes of the species but occurring over a short period (Johnson and …
Comparison Of Economic Returns From Grain Crops, H M. Fisher
Comparison Of Economic Returns From Grain Crops, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
While wheat is still generally the most profitable crop in Western Australia the relative profitability of barley and linseed has risen in the last few years; in southern areas they are likely to be at least as profitable as wheat.
Oats has fallen in profitability relative to wheat, and grain legumes have suffered a marked fall. Yields of these grains have increased with the introduction of new varieties but their price increases have not kept pace with those of wheat and barley. The present relationship of yields and costs indicates that substantial price changes will be needed to change the …
A Comparison Of Hay Conservation Systems, E E. Rowley
A Comparison Of Hay Conservation Systems, E E. Rowley
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The high cost an dshortage of farm labour in the Esperance District is posing serious problems for farmers using traditional hay conservation systems. Author Ted Rowley, then an advisor with the Esperance District office of the Department of Agriculture surveyed a number of farms to study the economics of varoius alternatives. This article is a summary of his report presented to a 1976 Fodder Conservation Workshop.
Meat Marketing : The L.I.P.C. And Japan's Meat Import Controls, G C. George
Meat Marketing : The L.I.P.C. And Japan's Meat Import Controls, G C. George
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
hardly a week passes without some reference to Japan's Livestock Industry Promotion Corperation (L.I.P.C.), and its effect on Australian meat exporters.
This article describes some of the functions of the L.I.P.C., and attempts to provide some insights into the Japanese meat market. The author, Gil George, recently returned from Japan after completing a Master's degree in Economics.
Low Protein Rations Halve Bacon Pig Profits, N W. Godfrey
Low Protein Rations Halve Bacon Pig Profits, N W. Godfrey
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
For many years the department of agriculture has recommended that pig producers include meat meal or other protein concentrate in pig rations based on cereal grains. However, it is still common for pigs to be raised on cereal grains with little or no protein added.
Recent trials at the Department of Agriculture's Medina Pig Research Station have demonstrated the losses which can result from feeding pigs on low-protein cereal rations.
