Depletion Of Subsoil Moisture By Apple Trees And Other Woody Species, C. C. Wiggans
Depletion Of Subsoil Moisture By Apple Trees And Other Woody Species, C. C. Wiggans
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
This project began in 1934 and ended in 1955. The work of Kiesselbach, Russel and Anderson indicated that depleted subsoil moisture might be the reason for the loss of many orchards and the injurious effects noted on native woody forest species. Most of the work in apple orchards was done at the University Fruit Farm at Union, Nebraska. Samples were also secured from commercial plantings of apples and other woody species in areas ranging from Rulo, near the Kansas-Nebraska border, to Florence, just north of Omaha, to Lincoln and several points in central Nebraska.

Put Garden Rubbish To Work In A Compost Heap, W Dawson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THERE'S a surprising amount of mumbo jumbo written about the simple compost heap. By the time you've waded through all the instructions, you feel as if you ought to have prerequisites of a doctorate in soil chemistry or an unbroken ancestry of at least three generations of professional English gardeners.

Hints On Irrigating Citrus With Saline Water, Stanley Thomas Smith
Hints On Irrigating Citrus With Saline Water, Stanley Thomas Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN the past few years a number of citrus orchards near Perth have shown signs of damage caused by excess "salt" (chloride) uptake. All have been irrigated either from the Canning River or from private bores or dams.
Senior Soil Research Officer S. T. Smith describes glasshouse experiments which have given some useful guides to minimising "salt" damage in citrus trees irrigated with low-quality water.

A Progress Report On Commercial Cotton Growing On The Ord River Project, William John Toms
A Progress Report On Commercial Cotton Growing On The Ord River Project, William John Toms
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The recommendations given in this article have been built up from the experience of the author in growing 200 acres of cotton in the Ord River area during the 1962-63 season for the Department of Agriculture, from findings made by Kimberley Research Station, and from discussions with the present farmers in the area.
When a new form of agriculture is introduced into a new area techniques and ideas change rapidly as farmers become acquainted with their new environment and the new crops. The recommendations will therefore require constant revision.

The F.A.Q. Standard For 1962-63, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE term f.a.q. refers to "fair average quality" as a standard for the sale of wheat -*- produced in Western Australia during any particular season.
The practice of using this standard developed after a standard sample of wheat grown in 1904 was obtained and declared to have a bushel weight of 62 lb.

Farming Without Fallow, H M. Fisher
Farming Without Fallow, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
UNDER the more intensive cropping rotations common in the early development of the cereal areas of Western Australia bare fallowing was a basic technique in cereal production.
By ploughing the land in July or August and keeping it bare of vegetation for nine or ten months, either by grazing or cultivation, a substantial beneficial effect on the subsequent crop could be expected.

Frost Injury Of Wheat, S C. Chambers
Frost Injury Of Wheat, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Late spring frosts commonly reduce yields and affect the quality of grain in many wheat crops- especially throughout the southern, eastern and north-eastern districts.
The damage is usually localised on individual farms, but occasionally widespread damage occurs in the south of the State.
Bare Patch And Poor Emergence Of Cereals. 3. Crusting Of The Soil Surface, S C. Chambers
Bare Patch And Poor Emergence Of Cereals. 3. Crusting Of The Soil Surface, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In some seasons extensive bare patches occur in cereal crops sown on the heavier wheat belt soils.
Experimental results from Beverley indicate that the poor emergence in some of these plantings may be due to crusting of the soil surface.
Working the surface with light harrows may destroy the crust and improve emergence.
Water For Agriculture. 3. Watering Plants With Salty Water, Stanley Thomas Smith
Water For Agriculture. 3. Watering Plants With Salty Water, Stanley Thomas Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In Western Australia it is often necessary to use saline water for irrigation and gardening because of the lack of better water.
Two factors influence the results achieved. One is the selection of suitable plants, the other is the way in which the water is used.
