Technical Bulletins
Despite a perception by some that Western Australian wool "processes poorly", this study found that consignments processed : 1) into long tops suited for worsted weaving 2) into longer than predicted tops 3) with the same consistency as other Australian consignments.

A Measure Of Justice For Western Australian Wools, John Stanton
A Measure Of Justice For Western Australian Wools, John Stanton
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Western Australian wools are sometimes perceived as inferior to those from eastern States, and this perception has often been reflected in price. For the first time a detailed comparison of the characteristics of our wool with the rest of the country has been undertaken. It shows that Western Australian wools are sometimes different from their eastern counterparts, but not necessarily 'inferior'. Overcoming these industry perceptions of inferiority is probably our biggest challenge, according to JOHN STANTON.

Value Of Saltbush Questioned, Brian Warren, Tess Casson, Ed Barrett-Lennard
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Over the last 20 years the Department of Agriculture has focused on finding plant species that can grow on salt/and to produce sheep feed, and on techniques for establishing plantations of saltbushes. Some research has been in response to farmer reports of success in using revegetated salt/and to provide autumn forage, while other work has resulted from the apparent importance of saltbushes in rangeland areas.
Objective measurements of wool production have been taken only recently. Three years research at Katanning indicates that while saltbush material is selected and eaten by sheep, its value for wool production is not high. It …
Breeding Sheep For Worm Resistance, John Karlsson, Johan Greeff, Julia Harris
Breeding Sheep For Worm Resistance, John Karlsson, Johan Greeff, Julia Harris
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Sheep production os one of Western Australia's most important agricultural industries. However, it is faced with the serious threat of sheep worm populations becoming increasingly resistant to the available drenches.
Although it's not a 'quick fix' solution, part of the long term answer may be selection for sheep with greater resistance to worms.

Storm : [Wind Erosion In The Great Southern], Dan Carter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
On Thursday 11 May 1995, a low pressure system with central barometric pressure of 990 hPa formed of south-western Australia. This depression directed gale force winds over the South-West Land Division for some seven hours.
Dan Carter reports on the widespread damage to soils and property, and management practices that would have reduced the problem.
