Breeding Problem Divides Pig Breeders on Purity Label
A question before the English National Pig Breeders Association concerns whether progeny from a pure Berkshire sow served by both a Large White and a pure Berkshire boar can be considered pure. The litter includes five white offspring and one black Berkshire. Experts say color dominance complicates classification and the policy may require distinguishing dominant and recessive traits to identify pure versus cross bred pigs.

Maize and Carcase Quality in Queensland Pigs
Queensland Agriculture instructor Mr W A Downes warns maize can cause soft fat in pork and bacon due to high fat content. He notes maize remains a major Queensland crop but stresses dairy, fodder, and forage crops are primary, while maize should not dominate pig rations. He disputes overseas guidance limiting maize to 33 percent of diet and cautions Queenslanders risk excess maize harming carcase quality.

Pasture Competition at Donnybrook Report
The Dairy Farmers Association held a pasture competition at Donnybrook led by superintendant Mr. G and Baron-Fay. Fifteen entries, eleven with Phalaris tuberosa, were judged on seed bed prep and two more checks over three years to show perennial grasses with subterranean clover. The event stems from a prior contest and follows a proven Phalaris tuberosa selection by E Patroni. Results suggest grass prep will succeed across the South West after a three-year establishment.

Scope for Expansion of Dairying Industry
Mr MacInnes outlines opportunities to grow dairying in Western Australia. Butter factories could boost milk by products such as cheese ice cream condensed and powdered milk. He notes two large mills cannot meet demand and argues pasteurised milk expansion could double per head consumption and quadruple butter income. ARABBO supplying rush centres and cooperatives cover Tomine Frangie Cobar Warren Byrock and Rourlie.

Charcoal for Pigs in Early Digestive Practices
An old agricultural note explains how pig digestion benefits from easily digested feeds and grinding of inedible portions. It highlights open grazing, feeding space, and digestion aids like charcoal or coke ground into the feed.
Certifying the Contents of Stock Foods
A letter to the Minister for Agriculture from the Federated Chambers of Commerce urged compulsory declaration of stock food contents. The Agricultural Department is investigating the position and considering enforcing guarantees of analysis with invoices. Stockowners show support for the plan, with Mr Wise expected to back it.
