The Coolgardie Honey Flow, R S. Coleman

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

DURING October-November, 1961, a new area for honey was found in the Coolgardie district. Many hundreds of tons of honey were extracted.

This honey had a choice flavour, and was light amber in colour—in fact it was honey of very high export grade.

Plant Diseases : Armillaria Root Rot Of Fruit Trees, R F. Doepel

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Armillaria root rot is a fungal disease capable of causing serious damage to both young and established orchards.

Although outbreaks are usually localised, eradication of the fungus and replacement of affected trees can involve the grower in considerable expense. For new plantings, thorough clearing of the land is recommended for preventing losses from this disease.

Trees Of Western Australia. No. 99. The Mottlecah (Eucalyptus Macrocarpa Hook.). No. 100. The Bald Island Marlock (Eucalyptus Lehmannii Preiss Ex Schau.), Charles Austin Gardner

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

This species, a shrub between six and 15 feet in height, is the largest-flowered of all the species of Eucalyptus.

The name is intended to indicate this fact, but unfortunately the Greek work makros means "long" and actually the fruit "karpos" is remarkably short in comparison to its diameter, being in fact the broadest fruit within the genus.

Insect Pests Of Forests. 2. Tussock Moths And Bag-Shelter Moths, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

TWO native caterpillars which sometimes attract attention are the larvae of the tnssock moth and the bag-shelter moth.

Neither insect is a serious forest pest in Western Australia, but the tussock moth sometimes does restricted damage in orchards and home gardens and the bag-shelter caterpillars cause some defoliation of wattles and eucalyptus.

Successful Commercial Beekeeping, R S. Coleman

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE eye of the master fattens the cattle. One of the oldest farming proverbs this is as true of bee-keeping as any other branch of farming.

Careful husbandry is the basis of all successful bee-keeping; anything else is secondary.

THIS species was described by Mueller in February, 1880, from a fragment with buds and flowers without fruits, collected by George Maxwell in South-Western Australia, without any locality.

It remained imperfectly known until a few years ago when a specimen was collected, again without precise locality, but somewhere between Esperance and Eyre,

The Messmate Or Stringbark (Eucalyptus Tetrodonta F. Muell). 94. The Sturt Creek Mallee (Eucalyptus Odontocarpa F. Muell), Charles Austin Gardner

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THIS species was originally named by W. V. Fitzgerald from specimens which he obtained from near Pingelly in November, 1903.

The name accedens is from the Latin accedo—to approach or come near—and is here used in reference to the supposed close approach of the tree to the common wandoo (Eucalyptus redunca var. elata).

Influence Of Logging On Douglas Fir Beetle Populations, R R. Lejeune, L H. Mcmullen, M D. Atkins

The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography

All species of bark beetles of economic importance prefer to attack freshly-killed host material. Logging slash, wind-throw, and fire-killed timber provide ideal breeding grounds for bark beetles. A few species, mostly in the Dendroctonus group, are able to kill living trees. When beetles in the group, raised in preferred host material, cannot find any or enough freshly-killed trees, logs, or slash to enter, they may attack living trees. In the interior of British Columbia, infestations of the Douglas fir beetle can often be traced to logging disturbance.

Mycorrhizae Of Ponderosa Pine In Nebraska Grassland Soils, R. W. Goss

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

While the genus Pinus has been the subject of extensive mycorrhizal studies there are only a few scattered references to western yellow pine, P. ponderosa, and no detailed descriptive literature on the mycorrhizae of this species. P. ponderosa is indigenous to Nebraska and the one species most extensively grown in local nurseries for windbreaks and farm plantings. Similarly, there is little information on mycorrhizae in the Great Plains between the forested regions of the Mississippi River states and the Rocky Mountains. Because this predominantly grassland area is sparse in natural tree growth the individual tree as an ornamental or …
