Agricultural Adviser Custance Engaged by Australian Trusts
The late J. H. Angas trustees and the Willowie Pastoral Company hire Professor Custance as agricultural adviser. A former Roseworthy College principal, he influenced Australian use of phosphatic manures and aided the early artificial fertilizer program in the country. He previously served Japan and England, returning to Adelaide after 20 years abroad. A New Potato features advances in a Uruguayan wild potato, Commerson’s, with high yields, disease resistance, and tubers up to 4 pounds. Second-hand bags in Sydney aim to cut costs but raise concerns about weevils and shipment quality.
