Agricultural concerns loom in Western Australia hearing
The Wellington Agricultural and Poultry Society hosts a major event in Harvey on Saturday with a pruning contest and sprinkler display as farmers face volatile wheat prices. Rain could ease tension in the wheat belt while sheep shortages and high breeding costs pressure settlers. The report notes potential gains from lucerne, peas as hay, chaff, and study of new power and milking machines to aid farm work, urging government support for irrigation and farm power innovations.

It highlights William Paterson of Dundee as founder of modern Scottish seed potato trade who first used flower fertilisation to create resilient varieties. The piece extols home-bred seeds, notes blight responses, and argues for native seedling developments over foreign imports.

A district report praises field peas as valuable fodder for lambs and ewes, noting improved weight gains and soil enrichment. Experiments show peas grown in paddocks on hills and flats yield comparable crops, with profits from market sales in Adelaide. Farmers cite higher lamb value, efficient feed conversion, and potential gains per head, while cautioning on timing and stocking rates.
