Spread Super For Cereal Crops, T E. Mcdowell, J. A. C. Smith, W. J. Toms, M. D. Carroll
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE use of bulk superphosphate broadcast direct on to the paddocks is a new method of reducing fertiliser costs.
But it has long been known that broadcasting phosphate is less efficient than drilling it in with the seed.
The experiment reported here was designed to demonstrate this point.

Collecting Plant Specimens. 1. Specimens For Identification, Robert Dunlop Royce
Collecting Plant Specimens. 1. Specimens For Identification, Robert Dunlop Royce
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
PLANT NAMES and the naming of plant specimens are of fundamental importance in many branches of science, including agriculture.
To the farmer, too, accuracy in naming poisonous plants and weeds, as well as fodder and pasture species, can save much trouble and expense, and may be responsible for avoiding heavy stock losses.
The Use Of Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Grain Production In Western Australia, William John Toms, G. H. Burvill
The Use Of Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Grain Production In Western Australia, William John Toms, G. H. Burvill
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
NITROGENOUS fertilisers have so far been little used in Western Australia for wheat, oats and barley grown for grain.
However, profitable results can follow their use under some conditions. Farmers who have seen field experiments are now interested in the use of nitrogenous fertilisers.Further interest will be stimulated by recent reductions in price.
This article answers common questions asked by farmers about nitrogenous fertilisers for cereals. It is based on over 100 experiments conducted by the Department of Agriculture during the past 30 years.

Making Your Own Beehives, R S. Coleman
Making Your Own Beehives, R S. Coleman
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE publication of this article runs counter to my own principles to some extent as I have long maintained that most beekeepers will find it cheaper in the long run to purchase factory-made hives and frames.
I realise, however, that many apiarists possess both the skill and equipment to make hive-bodies, and that some at least can occupy slack periods profitably in this manner.

Powdery Mildew Or Oidium Of Grapes, H L. Harvey
Powdery Mildew Or Oidium Of Grapes, H L. Harvey
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
POWDERY mildew or oidium, is a disease which is always present to a greater or lesser extent in grapevines in Western Australia.
In seasons favourable for its development it stunts the growth of shoots and leaves and may seriously reduce fruit yields and quality.
Most of our commonly-grown varieties are quite susceptible to the disease, but for the reason that currants are the most extensively grown variety, the overall losses are greatest in this variety.

Facts And Figures For The Man On The Land, J A. Mallett
Facts And Figures For The Man On The Land, J A. Mallett
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FARM or station life calls for the exercise of so many different skills that the farmer or pastoralist is usually an accomplished handyman.
For those whose schooldays are far behind them however, the most difficult part of many tasks is that of dealing with the calculations involved, and it is hoped that these facts and figures will serve as a handy aid to those whose mathematical ability has not kept pace with their manual and technical skill.

Weed Research. 8. Weed Control In The Vineyard, Geoffrey A. Pearce, W. R. Jamieson
Weed Research. 8. Weed Control In The Vineyard, Geoffrey A. Pearce, W. R. Jamieson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WEED control in the vineyard has been achieved by cultivation for many centuries and it is only during recent years that attention has been given to the use of herbicides for this purpose.
Today there is little risk to the vine in using any one of the herbicides listed in this article, and in general the main considerations governing the use of chemicals for weed control are the cost of the operation and the effect which it is desired to achieve.

Kimberley Research Station : A Progress Report, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Kimberley Research Station : A Progress Report, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
INTEREST in the agricultural potential of the Kimberley region in Western Australia dates from its early exploration and settlement in the last century.
Several farming development schemes were considered for the area, but were never implemented.
This could be mainly attributable to lack of knowledge of agricultural potentialities, limitations of the local environment and ways of exploiting the local environment.
Up to the present the economy of the region is almost entirely based upon the extensive production of beef and to a lesser extent, wool.

ON newly-cleared land at Esperance Plain Research Station the use of sulphate of ammonia on cereals has proved profitable over a number of seasons.
The response to sulphate of ammonia varies markedly with the season.

The Development Of Western Australian Sand Plain Soils For Agriculture, Richard Philip Roberts, F. L. Shier
The Development Of Western Australian Sand Plain Soils For Agriculture, Richard Philip Roberts, F. L. Shier
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN a recently published economic survey of the Australian wheat growing industry, it was reported that nearly two-thirds of the farms surveyed in Western Australia were located on lateritic "sand plain."
As a random selection was made of the eighty farms that were visited it is reasonable to conclude that a similar proportion of all the State's wheat producing farms are on that type of country.
This constitutes a remarkable change from the earlier days of wheat belt settlement when the sand plain soils were regarded as virtually useless and by-passed for development.
It is the purpose of this article …

What's Wrong With That Plant?, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
EACH year several thousand inquiries are received from people who want to know "What's wrong with that plant?" The plants range from common fruit, vegeable and pasture plants to rare ornamentals.
In most cases, the inquiries can be answered satisfactorily by Departmental officers who specialise in the study of various plant troubles.
