A Bridgetown reader cites a West Australian report on a Sydney conference of State Prices Ministers and asks if dairy farmers have been asked to provide cost returns. The letter questions transparency and whether the Farmers' Union is conducting fair investigations or if the whole conference is mere hooey.
The Mobile Film Unit arrives at Kangaroo Gully School on February 7 for a first visit to the district. Farmers and their wives are invited to view films including Fabrics of the Future Quality Milk Production and No Hand Stripping with discussion hoped for by the North Bridgetown Union. The same programme repeats at Yarnup on February 6, and organizers urge a strong turnout before the unit returns months later.
An extended study in Busselton area dairy herds records monthly blood tests showing persistent low inorganic phosphorus in cows. Despite healthy production in some groups, low blood phosphorus prompts questions on its impact and trials to restore normal levels, with feeding methods to be featured next week.
Denmark with high average cow output has long required a satisfactory production background for shows. London Dairy Show now enforces rules: 305 day lactation completed, a full-time calf prior to show, breed standards met, and tuberculosis free. These criteria aim to pair elegance with proven productivity in dairy cattle judging.
Mr. E. R. Heath reported at the Manjimup Road Board meeting that a hormone type weed killer showed no apparent effect on Patterson's Curse during the current season. It may work better next year when leaves and stems are softer. The board discussed the Noxious Weeds Act interpretation limiting road boards from enforcing weed destruction until they handle their own duties. Heath noted no approach from the work supervisor and cited other duties like rabbits as delaying weed work.
The mobile unit screened American films on fabrics of the future and quality milk production, stressing cleaning, cooling, and sterilising in dairies. It highlighted benefits of machine milking, introduced No Hand Stripping, and noted Australia will soon have its own dairying film.
