The acid peaty sands of the South-West have always been problem soils, and are often considered useless.
But, by following recommended establishment methods, farmers like Mr. F. E. Bellanger, of Nornalup, have shown that it can carry valuable pasture.
Palatability Of Forage Plants In North-West Sheep Pastures, R H. Collett
Palatability Of Forage Plants In North-West Sheep Pastures, R H. Collett
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A DECLINE in carrying capacity has occurred in large areas of the Pilbara district of the North-West, due to the decrease in palatable plants and the increase in unpalatable ones.
The relative palatability of the various species to sheep is therefore a matter of considerable importance to pastoralists.

Salty Seepages Can Be Productive, C V. Malcolm
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MUCH has been said and written concerning the use of Paspalum vaginatum for growing on seepage areas, but the general production to be expected from seepage areas has not received much attention.
The fact is that properly handled, seepage areas can be quite productive, and can be valuable for summer grazing.
Establishing Saltland Pastures, C V. Malcolm
Establishing Saltland Pastures, C V. Malcolm
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WITH the approach of winter, thoughts are turning to the seeding season. It will therefore be appropriate to discuss methods of establishing saltland pastures.
This discussion will be restricted to "bluebush," creeping saltbush, and old man saltbush. Seed of these plants is available from local stock firms.
