Canola : Golden Oil For Farmers And Consumers, Paul Carmody
Canola : Golden Oil For Farmers And Consumers, Paul Carmody
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
It is feasible that canola could become Western Australia's fourth largest crop after wheat, barley and lupins by the turn of the century.
Without the stigma attached to its parent crop, rapeseed, canola has also become one of the most successful international agricultural product launches, proving itself not only a useful cropping alternative but a healthy oil for consumers. State Oilseeds Adviser PAUL CARMODY sets the scene.

Trends In Wheat Protein/Yield Relationships, G B. Crosbie, Harry Fisher, Bryan Whan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The major concern of wheat breeders in WesternAustralia has been to increase grain yield while maintaining quality at an acceptable level. There has been no concious effort to select for protein content. It is of interrest, therefore, to compare the relationship between yield and protein of varieties which have been prominent in Western Australia at various times, to see what effects yield increases have had on protein content and the extent of any variation which might exist.

Variation In Wheat Protein Content : The Effect Of Environment, G B. Crosbie, Harry Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Over the past 20 years, the average protein content of WesternAustralian wheat has ranged from 9.3 to 12.0 per cent, with a mean level of 10.4 per cent. At most grain receival points, in any one season, individual loads can often vary in protein content by as much as 5 per cent protein or more. Rainfall and soil fertility account for much of this variation.

Lupins In Western Australia. 4. Composition And Feeding Value Of The Seeds, John Sylvester Gladstones
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
PREVIOUS articles in this series have discussed the varieties of lupin available in Western Australia, and their cultivation.
This article deals with the composition and feeding value of the seeds.
Growing And Marketing Yates For Profit, Frank Melville
Growing And Marketing Yates For Profit, Frank Melville
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE YATES APPLE is a late maturing red variety which because of its good storage qualities enjoyed a prominent place on the late market for many years.
The trees grow and crop well, the only disabilities are insufficient colour under some circumstances, small size fruit and a tendency to shrivel.
All these troubles can be successfully overcome by appropriate management.

The Effect Of Seaweed Meal On Yolk Colour, B R. Vale, P. Smetana
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Could seaweed, plentiful on local beaches, be used to improve egg yolk colour?
This article gives the results of experiments at the Department's Poultry Research Station.

The Cape Gooseberry, K T. Whitely
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE CAPE GOOSEBERRY — which is quite different from the English Gooseberry — is a popular berry fruit which is in good demand on the local market.
Carton Packs For Granny Smiths, J S. Bloomfield
Carton Packs For Granny Smiths, J S. Bloomfield
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
CONSIDERABLE quantities of Granny Smiths will be exported in carton containers in the 1961 season.
Last season an inaugural trial of tray pack cartons was shipped to the United Kingdom but this year will see the first use of cell pack cartons.
