Excerpt from Journal of the Department of Agriculture of Western Australia: Issued by Directions of the Honourable the Minister for AgricultureHitherto, the experimenting by farmers, with the exception of a few, has been of a most unsatisfactory character, and owing to their lack of enthusiasm and slipshod methods of cultivation, characteristic of their ordinary farm work, the seed and fertilisers supplied by the Department were simply wasted. In some cases the stock were turned on the lots before the grass had attained anything like a stronghold, while 0 ers seemingly forgot that they had experimental grass plots in the field, and therefore ploughed them out when cultivating for the next season's crop of wheat.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
