Dairying and pig-raising gains urged by commissioner
Mr JM B Cowper, Agricultural commissioner, told a West Australian representative this week that dairying and pig raising show strong farmer interest. He noted high demand for young bulls and heifers from State farm stock bred for milking lines, and said settlers are waking to mixed farming. He cited large orders for pig breeds and the Denmark State Farm bacon factory expanding to two extra pickle vats, with guidance on feeding values of ground wheat for pigs and benefits of grinding grain for fattening pigs.
