The Certified Strains Of Subterranean Clover : Their Origin, Potential Use And Identification, B J. Quinlivan, C. M. Francis, M. L. Poole
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
SUBTERRANEAN CLOVER originated in the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and in parts of Western Europe.
Therefore it is not surprising that it grows well in the agricultural districts of Western Australia, for these regions have a typically Mediterranean climate with cool wet winters and hot dry summers.

FARMING the light lands of the West Midland area would be impossible without fertilisers.
Most light land areas are inherently very low in phosphate and also require nitrogen.
The nitrogen can come from fertiliser for cereal crops, or can be built up by growing appropriate legume pasture plants such as clovers and lupins.

Wheat In Development Programmes For New Esperance Farmers, R J. Doyle, G. D. Oliver
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN the December, 1967, issue of the Journal of Agriculture, we reported on five development budgets for the Esperance region.
The aim of the exercise was to find out if a new settler concentrating on sheep, with $20,000 available for development after acquisition of land, could make a reasonable living for himself and his family while developing his farm.

TRIALS at the Badgingarra Research Station have indicated that many pasture species will grow in the West Midlands area.
Choice of the species most suited to any particular locality will be influenced by soil type, rainfall, grazing characteristics and possible ill-effects on stock.
The following species have been recommended.

The Phosphorus Fertilisers : How They Compare, Walter Jacob Cox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
ALTHOUGH 'double' or 'concentrated' superphosphate was first commercially manufactured in 1872 it was not until the 1950's that it became a major commercial fertiliser. In 1965 it accounted for about 15 per cent, of the world production of phosphatic fertilisers.

The Hamel Nursery, K S. Cole
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A LITTLE known, but highly productive use of irrigation water occurs at the Forestry Department Nursery, Hamel.
Seedlings of trees and shrubs are raised during the summer for sale the following winter.
Sales are made to the farming community and many trees are used by the Forest Department in its reafforestation programmes.
Phalaris Staggers : Prevention By Cobalt Bullets, Bryan J. Gorddard, P. P. Mann, A. J. Hadlow
Phalaris Staggers : Prevention By Cobalt Bullets, Bryan J. Gorddard, P. P. Mann, A. J. Hadlow
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FARMERS in the south west of Western Australia are familiar with the use of cobalt for the prevention of ill-thrift and deaths due to cobalt deficiency in sheep and cattle.
Less common is the use of cobalt for the prevention of chronic phalaris poisoning, known as phalaris staggers.
This condition is well known in eastern Australia, but only isolated cases have been recorded in W.A. no doubt due to the relatively small area sown to phalaris in this state.

Recommendations For The Establishment Of Harbinger Medic In The Northern Wheatbelt, R J. Parkin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Harbinger is an early-maturing medic that has met with success on some soil types, especially in the northern wheatbelt.
Similar to Cyprus barrel medic but best suited to different soil types, harbinger adds to the range of pasture legumes available for sowing in under 16 in. annual rainfall areas.
Water Blooms, T E H Aplin
Water Blooms, T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WHEN a body of water becomes discoloured with a super-abundance of free-floating, microscopic plant or, in rare cases, animal life, it is said to develop a "water bloom."
This article discusses some aspects of the appearance of water blooms, particularly those caused by algae, and with the effects that certain toxic algae have on livestock.

Isolation Of A Toxic Substance From Centaurea Repens, Merton E. Sprengel
Isolation Of A Toxic Substance From Centaurea Repens, Merton E. Sprengel
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A poisonous steroid-type compound was isolated from Centaurea repens. After extraction with absolute ethanol, removal of the solvent, addition of 2% HCl to precipitate the pigments, and filtering, the pH was adjusted to 9 with aqueous anunonia. This solution was exhaustively extracted with chloroform, evaporated to dryness, and extracted with ethyl ether.
This fraction was chromatographed on silica-gel plates, using 10:1 1,2-dichloroethane-methanol as the developer. The band at Rf 4.2 was removed and found toxic to mice. Labored, slow, gasping respiration and frequent involuntary muscular contractions became apparent within a few minutes following the intraperitoneal injection into each animal. Death …

Diurnal Distribution Of Phytoplankton From A Single Station At The Mouth Of The James River, Harold G. Marshall
Biological Sciences Faculty Publications
Eight sets of water samples were taken to a depth of 36 ft. during a 24-hr. period. A homogeneity was found in the vertical distribution of the total phytoplankton in samples from 7 of the 8 hydro-casts. Skeletonema costatum and Asterionella japonica were the most numerous phytoplankters in every sample, with the majority of their counts each exceeding 500, 000 cells per liter.
Cultivation : Does Haste Mean Waste?, H M. Fisher
Cultivation : Does Haste Mean Waste?, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Many farmers believe that increasing the speed of cultivation and seeding implements will cause deterioration of soils and reduced crop yields.
In a three-year trial on clover ley land at Wongan Hills higher cultivation speeds tended to increase rather than decrease wheat yields. There was some deterioration in the physical structure of the soil.

Seed And Pasture Rates For New Dairy Pastures, F E. Ryan
Seed And Pasture Rates For New Dairy Pastures, F E. Ryan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE success or failure of pasture establishment on new land often depends on the interaction of rate of seeding and rate of superphosphate application.
Every year large areas of virgin land are cleared and sown to pasture in the higher rainfall areas, and all-too often the new pasture is not as successful as it should be because too little super is applied, and, in some cases, too little seed.
