Linuron : A Success In 1966?, Geoffrey A. Pearce
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Although some of the farmers who used linuron last year reported poor results, there is little doubt that this is the best herbicide since the advent of 2,4-D for weed control in cereals. This article gives the reasons for failure in some of last season's crops, and recommendations for use of linuron in 1967.

The History, Characteristics And Potential Of Kondinin Rose Clover, E T. Bailey, N. B. Gayfer
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.

Why Botanical Names Are Necessary, Robert Dunlop Royce
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BOTANISTS engaged in naming plants are ofen asked "Why can't you speak English?"
The answer becomes quite clear as the inquirers learn more and more about plants and find people calling the same plant by quite different names.

Choking Of Milking Machine Pulsators, G R. Olney
Choking Of Milking Machine Pulsators, G R. Olney
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE value of applying the teat cup squeezing action more slowly, by "choking", has been well demonstrated for a number of years.
Leslie and Whittlestone (1938) suggested that brutal teat cups and snappy pulsators could be undesirable because of the trauma caused.
Choking was recommended by them to overcome this.
Phalaris Staggers : Prevention By Cobalt Bullets, Bryan J. Gorddard, P. P. Mann, A. J. Hadlow
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.

A Guide To Good Lamb Marking, H E. Fels
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
LAMB marking is the most severe of the various ordeals that sheep are called upon to endure.
It is a series of surgical operations, each involving a risk of infection, and some involving risks of severe haemorrhage.
Growth rate is reduced to the same extent by rubber rings as by the knife.

Which Cereal Gives The Best Return?, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN 1966 farmers in the cereal areas of Western Australia sowed approximately 6.5 million acres of wheat, 1.2 million acres of oats, and 0.4 million acres of barley (mainly six-row).
The extent to which these cereals were grown in the various statistical divisions of the State, together with the average yields is summarised in the Table below.
