Clearing sandplain country

THE greatest scope for development of new land in Western Australia lies in the millions of acres of sandplain country along the west and south coasts and to a lesser extent in the Newdegate area. With the development, or at least alienation, of the South-West and the wheatbelt nearing completion, attention has been focused on these tracts of sandplain country

Light land development in the West Midlands

Although it has not received the widespread publicity which has attended land settlement schemes on the south coastal plain some very successful light land development has taken place in the West Midlands during the past 10 years. Large areas of what was once unattractive scrub country are now carrying highly productive pastures and the progress made by Mr. J. W. White at Badgingarra is an example of what may be achieved in this district by using proven techniques

Barrel Medic for wheatbelt pastures - Demonstrations show promise

Investigations with Barrel Medic (Medicago tribuloides) have indicated that this has a wide range of usefulness as a leguminous pastoral plant for the heavier soils those areas receiving less than 18 inches of rainfall annually There has been a continued emphasis on improved pasture as the basis for better and more productive rotations and the outstanding part played by subterranean clover in utilising large areas of light sandplain in the higher rainfall districts is well known. Barrel medic (or Barrel Clover as it is sometimes called) should fill a somewhat similar position under the conditions for which it is suited

Stocking rate and pasture management

FARMERS west of the Great Southern Railway, raising sheep and beef cattle, frequently associate soil deficiencies with difficulties in holding sub. clover in their pastures. Field observations and some trials in those districts indicate that in many paddocks the problem arises through undergrazing rather than a deficiency in the soil
