Preservation Of Fodder Reserves
Mr. A. Morgan of the Victorian Department of Agriculture urges proper fodder storage practices to minimize waste. He recommends level stacking per Wheat Board rules, topped with protection and loose covering for rain run-off, and warns that neglect at stockyards invites rabbit damage and mushroomed stacks. He notes small, consumable piles save labor but may not offset stacking costs, and suggests Wirenetting to protect from rabbits.

It cites McKenzie recommending underground cold-water tanks, water flow rates, and target temperatures to suppress bacterial growth. The piece ends with a humorous quip about fashion and prices.

Keep Your Milk Out of the Sun
CSIRO dairy researchers warn bottled milk spoils in sunlight, gaining a cardboard flavor and losing vitamin content. Even ten minutes of sun can alter taste and nutrition, with oxidation worsened by light, especially in home storage before use.

Victorian butter production held at high level in Victoria
Victorian dairy officials report butter production staying high despite shortages elsewhere. Last year was the third highest on record, aided by rising liquid milk demand and competition for milk used in other products. Inspector D A Lancaster predicts six new milk product factories in Victoria in three years, likely diverting butterfat from butter making.

Grazing Wheat Crops: Trials At Longerenong College
Victorian cerealist Mr H L J Sams reports on trials at Longerenong Agricultural College assessing grazing of wheat with sheep in late winter. Results show yield losses vary by variety and sowing rate, with higher seed rates mitigating losses and drought years sometimes favouring grazed plots. Consider feed value versus stock needs when deciding to graze, and sow more heavily if grazing is anticipated.

Topdressing of Victorian pastures overview
Late deliveries and supply issues have delayed pasture topdressing into autumn or spring. Mr Powell of the Victorian Department of Agriculture notes topdressing can be carried out at various times with early growth desired, recommends autumn fertiliser and spring balance, and questions the value of two dressings unless needed. Rates vary by climate, with 1 cwt per acre typical in drier districts and 4 cwt in irrigated areas. rainfall and soil conditions determine economic rates and lime or potash may be needed if results disappoint.
