Third West Australian Random Sample Egg Laying Test : 1959-1960, R H. Morris
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
AS part of the poultry improvement plan for Western Australia, the Department of Agriculture inaugurated a random sample laying test for commercial grade chickens at the Poultry Research Station, Herdsman Lake, in 1957.
The results of the first test appeared in the May-June, 1959 issue of the Journal of Agriculture and those of the second test in the June, 1960 issue.
Points On Producing Better Pigs, P C. Beck
Points On Producing Better Pigs, P C. Beck
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THERE are many factors to be considered in the production of quality pigmeat which today is the demand of the housewife.
Poor quality means two things, bad advertisement for the industry and low returns to the producer.

Time Of Lambing Experiment : Merredin Research Station, 1959-60 (Progress Report), W L. Mcgarry, I. K. Stott
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FOLLOWING upon the Time of Lambing Experiments at Esperance Plains Research Station (Journal of Agriculture, May, 1960) it was decided to carry out similar work with Merino sheep under the relatively harsher environment at Merredin Research Station.
Fertilizers For Potatoes In Manjimup And Pemberton Areas, James P. Fallon
Fertilizers For Potatoes In Manjimup And Pemberton Areas, James P. Fallon
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN articles published in previous issues of the Journal each of a number of potato fertiliser trials carried out in the Manjimup and Pemberton districts has been discussed and results reported.
This article briefly summarises the results of these trials carried out over the past four years and makes definite recommendations to potato growers in these districts regarding quantities of fertilisers to be used on new Red Karri loam soils.
Tree Lucerne : A Fodder Crop With A Future, Laurence C. Snook
Tree Lucerne : A Fodder Crop With A Future, Laurence C. Snook
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN December, 1952, an article was published in this Journal drawing attention to the potential value of white flowered tree lucerne (Cytisus prolifer) as a source of nutritious green fodder during the dry summer months.
Figures were quoted to show that heavy yields could be obtained year after year with very little effort, and no outlay other than for fertiliser.
The advantages to be gained from the cultivation of this tree were made very apparent and many farmers set out to grow the shrub.
Autumn Lambing Means Autumn Feeding, C J. Spencer
Autumn Lambing Means Autumn Feeding, C J. Spencer
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MANY Merino flocks in the agricultural areas Iamb down in the autumn months.
This means that the lambs are being developed and reared when paddock feed is at its worst, and this in turn means that a well-planned supplementary feeding programme is essential.

How Much Food Should I Give My Dog?, F C. Wilkinson
How Much Food Should I Give My Dog?, F C. Wilkinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS is a question which every veterinary surgeon has heard hundreds of times, and one that it is impossible to answer in general terms because dogs differ so much in their food requirements and because the nutrient values of various foodstuffs vary considerably.

Studies In The Mulga Pastoral Zone. 2. Some Aspects Of The Value Of The Mulga Scrub, D G. Wilcox
Studies In The Mulga Pastoral Zone. 2. Some Aspects Of The Value Of The Mulga Scrub, D G. Wilcox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE mulga pastoral zone is so named since most of its area is dominated by Mulga (Acacia aneura).
The mulga is found associated with shrubs and grasses in almost all plant habitats. In its various forms it can associate with spinifex (Triodia basedowi), Wandarrie Grasses (Danthonia, Eragostis and Eriachne spp.) and with low shrubs on flood plains, hills and breakaways. It may even attempt to become established in salty communities, though this is never completely successful.
The scene the area offers from its low hills is one of a succession of low undulations, occasionally scarred by creeks or breakaways and …
Cutting Costs In Calf Rearing, N A. Scott
Cutting Costs In Calf Rearing, N A. Scott
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
RAISING calves as herd replacements and as a sideline to provide added income is becoming increasingly popular.
This is particularly noticeable since the inception of the Artificial Breeding Scheme whereby farmers are at liberty to breed herd replacements from their most productive cows and use semen from beef breeds for the poorer types.
Better Rations For Broiler Production, P Smetana
Better Rations For Broiler Production, P Smetana
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING 1959, trials were conducted at the Poultry Research Station, Herdsman Lake, with the object of developing a broiler-feeding ration that was better than the one at present recommended by the Department of Agriculture and commonly used by local broiler producers.
Can Heifers Be Fed Too Well?, Laurence C. Snook
Can Heifers Be Fed Too Well?, Laurence C. Snook
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING recent years, emphasis has been given to the results of experiments conducted overseas, which appear to show that when heifers are generously fed, this reduces their ability to produce milk in later life.
As a result, some dairymen now believe that heifer calves should be kept lean rather than in prime condition.
It has become common to hear statements to the effect that generous feeding encourages calves to become "beefy," at the expense of the milk-producing attributes which are essential in a dairy cow.
