Individual Sow Feeders, P Mcnamara
Individual Sow Feeders, P Mcnamara
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FOOD is the major cost in any pig enterprise and it is particularly easy for waste to occur in the breeding herd.
Individual feeders enable the pigman to feed each sow according to her need, and enable the sows to eat their feed slowly or quickly as they choose.
Factors Affecting Nesting Success Of The Canvasback In The Aspen Parklands, Jerome H. Stoudt
Factors Affecting Nesting Success Of The Canvasback In The Aspen Parklands, Jerome H. Stoudt
USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
The Minnedosa study area is located in the southwestern portion of Manitoba just south of the town of Minnedosa. It is 90 square miles in size and roughly square in shape. The Aspen Parkland, in which the study area is located, is characterized by gently rolling terrain and black soils. Mixed farming is the rule with emphasis on small grain production consisting of wheat, barley, and oats. Roughly 50 percent of the water areas in the parkland are ringed with aspen, Populus tremuloides, and large blocks of aspen are interspersed throughout the area. The Minnedosa area differs because of …
Attack The Rabbit At Home : Destroy Warrens And Harbourage, J S. Crawford
Attack The Rabbit At Home : Destroy Warrens And Harbourage, J S. Crawford
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Effective rabbit destruction often calls for a carefully worked out control programme consisting of poisoning, fumigating and warren and harbourage destruction.
Possibly the most effective means of not only controlling rabbits but ultimately eradicating them from holdings is the destruction of warrens and harbourage.

The Fox : Status And Control, C D. Gooding
The Fox : Status And Control, C D. Gooding
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
NOBODY knows for certain and it is possible that the damage done by foxes is sometimes over-rated, but the fact remains that foxes are reputed to be a real problem to some farmers at lambing time.
Weaning Lambs Under Pastoral Conditions, H Suijdendorp, L. Parsons
Weaning Lambs Under Pastoral Conditions, H Suijdendorp, L. Parsons
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN the summer rainfall region of the pastoral areas lambs are too often born too late to ensure their survival.
In good seasons with a fair measure of winter rain more late lambs will survive, but losses are still serious. The only solution to this problem is to make sure lambs drop in May-June.
But the presence of late and often unmarked lambs at mating time is a disturbing influence, which makes it hard to advance the established mating pattern.
The Sparrow, John L. Long
The Sparrow, John L. Long
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
SCATTERED widely throughout the world, sparrows are a nuisance wherever they have become established.
Two species have been introduced to Australia—the House sparrow (Passer domesticus) and the Tree sparrow (Passer montanus.)

A POISON plant may be defined as a plant which, when eaten by humans or animals, exerts harmful effects or causes death by virtue of its toxic substances.
Dingo Control : Organised Ground Baiting Drives At Mating Time, C D. Gooding, J. J. Freeth
Dingo Control : Organised Ground Baiting Drives At Mating Time, C D. Gooding, J. J. Freeth
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DINGOES in Western Australia, like all "creatures of nature", have a well defined seasonal pattern of behaviour.
This is influenced somewhat by weather variations, but even in remote areas where violent fluctuations in rainfall occur from year to year, the dingo still breeds at roughly the same time.
The numbers of pups born and the numbers which survive each year varies a lot, but life goes on at roughly the same tempo under most seasonal conditions.
One Shot Baiting, C D. Gooding, L. A. Harrison
One Shot Baiting, C D. Gooding, L. A. Harrison
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE Agriculture Protection Board introduced the first of its contract poisoning schemes in 1955 in the lower South-West when three units undertook the first "1080" poisoning for farmers in Western Australia.
The originators of one-shot baiting describe this new technique and explain how it should be used for best results on the farm.
Effects Of Beaver On Stream Flow And Water Quality, James W. Bates
Effects Of Beaver On Stream Flow And Water Quality, James W. Bates
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Water, one of the major resources of the western lands, controls the economy and expansion of the communities. Industry, agriculture, timber, livestock, game and home water needs are all dependent upon a steady and continued flow of water from wells, springs, and rivers. Water is derived from one source, precipitation, which occurs in the form of rain and snow. Watersheds which are properly managed accumulate a substantial snow pack during the winter which is the life-giving source of water for our springs.
The Utah Water and Power Report (1948) indicates the annual precipitation over the entire state of Utah averaged …

Webworm And The Weather, J A. Button
Webworm And The Weather, J A. Button
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FOR many years farmers have remarked on the cyclic occurrence of webworm outbreaks in their cereal crops.
Webworm, the State's most serious pest of cereals, has frequently assumed a role of major importance for one or two seasons, and then not been troublesome for a number of years.
A research programme being carried out by the Entomology Branch aims to give a better understanding of the effects of weather conditions on the seasonal incidence of webworm, and should lead to more effective control of this pest.

The House Fly (Musca Domestica), Clee Francis Howard Jenkins
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MANY insects are so commonly associated with man and his dwellings that they may almost be called domesticated.
In olden days the presence of these insects was accepted as a matter of course, but present knowledge shows that many of them can be important disease carriers while others may cause damage to food and clothing.
Vermin Symposium Report : Wanted : A New Approach To Rabbit Control, A R. Tomlinson
Vermin Symposium Report : Wanted : A New Approach To Rabbit Control, A R. Tomlinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE main reason why rabbits have not increased as rapidly as their amazing capabilities might have led people to expect has been a series of years not suitable for full breeding.
This has been more important than myxomatosis and "1080". This was one of the thoughts taken away by those who attended the rabbit control symposium held in Perth recently.
Dwarf Fruit Trees, Frank Melville
Dwarf Fruit Trees, Frank Melville
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN this country where most fruits and particularly apples and pears are grown without irrigation, heavy crops and summer stress restrict tree size.
The aim of most growers therefore, has been to grow larger trees and little interest has been shown in trees with dwarfing tendencies.
However, in countries with ideal conditions for growth, trees tend to grow too big and become uneconomic in terms of labour costs.

Termites Or White Ants, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins
Termites Or White Ants, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
TERMITES are commonly but erroneously called "white ants."
Actually they are more nearly related to cockroaches than to ants, but their general appearance and subterranean habits have given strong support to the popular designation.
They may be divided into two major groups from an economic point of view, viz., wood-dwelling and earth-dwelling termites.
Wild Dog Control In The North-West, R J. Fraser
Wild Dog Control In The North-West, R J. Fraser
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BECAUSE of its sparsely-settled condition, the North-West of Western Australia is almost an ideal breeding-ground and hunting-ground for wild dogs.
Even the best of the pastoral country is but thinly populated and there are large areas of rugged country which is seldom traversed by white men.
Rabbit Control In 1960, C Marshall
Rabbit Control In 1960, C Marshall
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN the year 1859, an enthusiastic sportsman in Victoria took delivery from the clipper "Lightning" of a small consignment of wild European rabbits which he joyfully released on his estate at Barwon Park, near Geelong, in order to assure himself of some rough shooting.
He was not the only rabbit importer on record—tame rabbits were brought into Australia before and after 1895 and doubtless there were other importations of the wild rabbit—but he is generally credited—or discredited—with having triggered off the rabbit plague.
Grasshoppers And Locusts In Western Australia, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins
Grasshoppers And Locusts In Western Australia, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
GRASSHOPPERS and locusts are among the most ancient enemies of the farmer, for they figured prominently in Biblical times, and periodically throughout the ages have devastated crops in all parts of the world.
A Successful Campaign Against The Euro, E H M Ealey, T. M. Richardson
A Successful Campaign Against The Euro, E H M Ealey, T. M. Richardson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
RESULTS from a five-year research programme carried out by the C.S.I.R.O. on the Abydos-Woodstock Pastoral Research Station indicated that euros could be controlled in a practical and economic way by the traditional method of water poisoning,
if it was continued for an extended period and carried out over a large area. Smallscale trials supported this claim, but no opportunity had occurred to assess the practicability of a large-scale poisoning operation.
