Stilling Coastal Sand Drifts With Marram Grass, J L. Mcmullan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DRIFTS in dunes on the coast between Albany and Geraldton may be stabilised by planting marram grass (Ammophila arenaria).
However, it should be anticipated that much of the planted grass will die before an area is finally stabilised.

Light Lands In Western Australia. 2. Their Nature, Distribution And Climate, George Henry Burvill
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
LIGHT land development for agriculture is a major feature in the story of agriculture in Western Australia. Sixty years ago there was less than one million acres of arable land.
The total area planted to all crops was less than 250 thousand acres and the wheat harvest was less than one million bushels.

Farm Flora Sancturies, Robert Dunlop Royce
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
NOW that several species of native plants have become totally extinct and many more are becoming rare almost to the point of extinction, interest in the scientific and aesthetic potential of the West Australian flora is awakening.
Fallowing And Soil Conservation, J E. Watson
Fallowing And Soil Conservation, J E. Watson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Soil Conservationists don't always disapprove of fallowing, says Soil Conservation Service adviser J. E. Watson.
They are prepared to compromise, and accept fallowing as a useful practice where it means better pasture establishment or more effective land reclamation.

Flooding Of Salt Land, C V. Malcolm
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Many farmers have expressed concern and some have gone to considerable expense in trying to alleviate flooding problems on salt affected land.
Some consideration will be given here to flooding, its causes, effects on salt encroachment, methods of prevention and alleviation.
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.
Wild Life In A Modern Age, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins
Wild Life In A Modern Age, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE present human population of the earth is estimated at about 2 1/2 thousand million, and reliable sources consider that this figure will be doubled by the year 2000.
Although the pessimistic forecasts of Malthus have not yet come true, it is obvious that the world's food requirements, must lead to increased exploitation of land and other primary resources, with consequent repercussions on all forms of wild life.
Reclaiming Salt Land With Bluebush, Stanley Thomas Smith
Reclaiming Salt Land With Bluebush, Stanley Thomas Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN Western Australia there are approximately a million acres of salt land, some of which is a serious economic problem to individual farmers, unfortunate enough to have the major portion of their properties affected by salt encroachment.
