Ant Destruction Advice From Victorian Agriculture Experts
Victorian Department of Agriculture entomologists propose two ant control methods. Direct nests with carbon bisulphide, poured into the nest and covered, requires caution due to flammability. Or use liquid or solid baits with arsenate of soda or Paris green mixed in flour for lawns and indoor infestations. For the Argentine ant a more complex mix is advised and residents should contact the Trilogical Branch in Burnley for the correct formula.

Wheat industry plans for Australia stabilisation scheme
Discussions led by the Australian Wheat Board and the Commonwealth Authorities outline a plan to stabilise prices. A guaranteed home consumption price of 3 shillings 2 pence per bushel and a minimum export price of 5 shillings 2 pence per bushel are proposed for five years. Excess export revenue would fund the scheme, with about 40 percent to growers and 60 percent to the fund. Adoption hinges on State Premiers conference approval and subsequent legislation.
