Wheat Quality Surveys In Western Australia. 2. Variation Between Seasons And Localities In The Production Of High And Low Protein Wheat, J A. Parish
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Although the protein content of West Australian f.a.q. wheat averages only 9.4 per cent., often substantial amounts of comparatively high protein wheat are contained in this mixture.
However the quantity varies widely from year to year and is obtained from widely scattered areas of the wheatbelt.
Kimberley Research Station Progress Report, 1964 : Climate, Jan Jerzy Basinski, E. A. Fitzpatrick, W. R. Stern
Kimberley Research Station Progress Report, 1964 : Climate, Jan Jerzy Basinski, E. A. Fitzpatrick, W. R. Stern
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A review of recent research in climate, soils, tropical crops and pastures, weeds, insect pests and cattle husbandry at the Kimberley Research Station.
EXTENSIVE climatic data are recorded at the Station and analysed in relation to crop performance, irrigation requirements, and farm management practices.

BEFORE 1963, very little work, other than that described in Burvill's original report, had been done on the analysis of Ord soils, nor had their fertility status been clearly defined.
Puccinellia : Outstanding Saltland Grass, C V. Malcolm, S. T. Smith
Puccinellia : Outstanding Saltland Grass, C V. Malcolm, S. T. Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
"Puccinellia" is a tussocky perennial grass with an outstanding ability to survive salty and waterlogged conditions.
Considerable areas of saltland in Western Australia are suited to its growth.
Seed is now available commercially and in this article the conditions to which the grass is suited are described and establishment and management methods are suggested.
The Starling, John L. Long
The Starling, John L. Long
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Despite their pretty colour and their song, starlings cannot be considered beneficial, especially in the fruit and grain-growing areas of W.A. where they are declared vermin.
MILLIONS of starlings inhabit the settled parts of eastern and south-eastern Australia, but so far they have not reached Western Australia.
Contour Planting For Hillside Orchards. Part 1, N H. Shorter
Contour Planting For Hillside Orchards. Part 1, N H. Shorter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FRUIT growers intending to plant an orchard on sloping land, would be well advised to consider the suitability of the block for planting on a contour system.
Seed And Pasture Rates For New Dairy Pastures, F E. Ryan
Seed And Pasture Rates For New Dairy Pastures, F E. Ryan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE success or failure of pasture establishment on new land often depends on the interaction of rate of seeding and rate of superphosphate application.
Every year large areas of virgin land are cleared and sown to pasture in the higher rainfall areas, and all-too often the new pasture is not as successful as it should be because too little super is applied, and, in some cases, too little seed.
Leaf Scorch Of Apple Trees, N H. Shorter
Leaf Scorch Of Apple Trees, N H. Shorter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BEFORE the 1964-65 fruit season, sections of a number of orchards in the Donnybrook district were converted to systems of permanent overhead sprinkler irrigation.
In several cases, however, leaf scorch occurred where these overhead sprinklers were used during the day time.
