Coping With The Risk Of Cancer In Children Living Near Power Lines, Eileen N. Abt
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Ms. Abt briefly summarizes evidence linking power lines with a possible increase in risk of childhood cancer. She also recounts how, although many experts remain skeptical of causality, public fears, whether or not warranted, have themselves created serious problems. Finally, she proposes ways to address those problems.

Ai : Artificial Insemination Of Sheep, David Windsor
Ai : Artificial Insemination Of Sheep, David Windsor
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Artificial insemination (Al) is used widely in the dairy and beef industries and often performed by farmers themselves. By contrast, sheep breeders generally require assistance from vets when frozen semen is to be used. However, recent experiments with frozen semen are indicating that do-it-yourself Al may soon become a reality.
Lupin Stubbles : Getting The Best With Weaner Sheep, Keith Croker, Colin Mcdonald, Jeremy Allen
Lupin Stubbles : Getting The Best With Weaner Sheep, Keith Croker, Colin Mcdonald, Jeremy Allen
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Sweet lupins are now grown on about a million hectares in Western Australia each year. If half of the State's seven million weaners were grazed as recommended on half of the lupin stubbles, it could generate about $15 million from reduced supplementary feeding, greater wool production and other advantages. But correct management is important, particularly knowing when to take weaners out. Research by the Department over the last five years is now indicating how this should be done.

Quality Wool Production At Lower Cost, Peter Metcalfe
Quality Wool Production At Lower Cost, Peter Metcalfe
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Low wool prices are forcing farmers to reduce their sheep management costs but, fortunately, cost cutting is not resulting in lower wool production, poorer wool quality or lessened sheep care on the best wool growing properties.
