Dam Design For Pastoral Stock Water Supplies, J S. Addison, R J. Law, G B. Eliot
Dam Design For Pastoral Stock Water Supplies, J S. Addison, R J. Law, G B. Eliot
Bulletins 4000 -
These notes provide information on many components of water harvesting storage systems designed for use in semi-arid areas. The notion of a water harvesting and storage system is deliberately emphasised. No single design component can be considered in isolation if the goal of a drought-proof water supply is to be achieved.
A drought-proof surface water supply is achieved by integrating the many design components of a water harvesting/storage system into a practical plan.
Wild Dog Control : Facts Behind The Strategies, Peter Thomson
Wild Dog Control : Facts Behind The Strategies, Peter Thomson
Agriculture reports
Background information to how strategies for controlling wild dogs have been developed over the years, not just in Western Australia, but also other parts of Australia. The information is based on scientific studies, including detailed evaluations of techniques and strategies, and also considerable practical experience from doggers, operational staff and landholders. This publication focuses on sheep enterprises.

Economics Of Farm Water Supplies, P P. Eckersley
Economics Of Farm Water Supplies, P P. Eckersley
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The economics of farm water supplies can be studied in two ways. One is to compare the costs of alternative ways of supplying a specified quantity of water to a farm. Another is to calcu;ate how mucha farmer can afford or will pay for a water supply.
I propose to look at these questions from the point of vieew of an eastern wheatbelt farmer, assuming that he must pay the full costs of any water supply provided for his property.

In early August the Oombulgurri community requested assistance in the following terms.
"On behalf of the Oombulgurri Community, we invite assistance in developing the grain and pasture cropping at Oombulgurri. We have experimented with peanuts, sorghum, and many varieties of vegetables. This has tested the reality of hopes to expand acreage and varieties to become self-sufficient in stock feed. The Farm and Garden Guild now needs the expertise of your services to plan a four-year programme. vie need assistance in choosing from the many options, opinions and advices available from Australia and elsewhere, for grain production, pastures, methods appropriate to …

Rural Radio Reports - Animals And Birds Declared Vermin, A R. Tomlinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Animals and birds are declared vermin by the Agriculture Protection Board if they are a threat to primary industry.

The Protection Of Primary Production : The Role Of The Agriculture Protection Board Of Western Australia, A R. Tomlinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE main function of the Agriculture Protection Board of W.A. is, as its name implies, "protection", and, in this case, it is the State's primary production which is being protected from pest animals, birds and weeds.
In general, the Board's activities are centred on the prevention, destruction or management of animals and plants which are troublesome to agricultural or pastoral production, or are capable of being troublesome.
Profitable Bacon Production In A Small Herd, B M. Goss
Profitable Bacon Production In A Small Herd, B M. Goss
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
PIG HERDS are tending to become larger and more specialised, but it is still possible for the small herd of less than 20 sows to absorb by-products and spare labour very profitably.
These advantages can be lost if the scale is larger.

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE mother of this pup was an eight-year-old sheep dog and in the eyes of her owner she was a champion and well worth her keep.
She was perhaps slowing down a little, so the best looking pup out of the last litter had been kept as a possible replacement.
Pigs Have A Place In The Dairying Areas, P Mcnamara
Pigs Have A Place In The Dairying Areas, P Mcnamara
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Pig-keeping could become a much more important feature on South-West dairy farms in the future with the enterprise as a definite farm-unit having a considerable effect on income.
There are indications also that the collection of bulk skim milk and whey for pig feeding will increase in the future. This could make way for the efficient specialist operating large pig raising units close to the source of supply.
In this article. Pig Husbandry Adviser P. McNamara, B.A. (Cantab.) examines pig-keeping in the South-West and makes suggestions on the part that pigs can play on the modem dairy farm.

Pig Research Projects For W.A, W J O Wilkie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Medina Pig Research Unit now being developed by the Department of Agriculture will be an important addition to pig research facilities in Australia.
The primary function of the unit will be to serve the needs of the pig industry in Western Australia.
In this article, Animal Husbandry Officer W. J. Wilkie, B.V.Sc, discusses some aspects of research to be carried out.
Pigs On The Dairy Farm : Cutting Costs To Meet Low Prices, R A. Bettenay
Pigs On The Dairy Farm : Cutting Costs To Meet Low Prices, R A. Bettenay
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
As all dairy farmers know, the market prices of pigs tends to fluctuate, depending on supply and demand, in a manner which is very hard to predict.
At a time when prices are low there are several things which the dairy farmer can do to continue operating, although at a reduced margin.
Skim Milk : The Cheapest Pig Feed, P C. Beck
Skim Milk : The Cheapest Pig Feed, P C. Beck
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BUTTERFAT production has started on most South-West dairy farms, and although pig prices are not high at present, many dairy farmers have either purchased young stock or bred pigs to utilise their surplus skim milk.
Skim milk is the best feed for pigs on the dairy farm. Properly used in conjunction with other feeds it produces high quality carcasses at minimum cost.
Why Poor Prices For Pigs?, P C. Beck
Why Poor Prices For Pigs?, P C. Beck
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A rapid increase in pig numbers and an unfavourable export situation have precipitated the present depression in the pig industry. Concentration on quality production and a gradual reduction in numbers should bring back a more stable situation, says Dairy Division pig specialist P. Beck. Big fluctuations in the pig population—the basic cause of cycles of boom and depression in the industry—would be avoided if more farmers adopted a fixed farm level policy towards the industry.
