Agricultural Department’s Distant Roots and Wheat Breakthrough
A retrospective on the agricultural department’s evolution from its sub office roots under James Fletcher through administrators Smith and Dibbs to Campbell’s directorship. It notes early focus on dairy, sugarcane, maize, and planned colleges, followed by funding struggles, amalgamation with forestry, and a shift to wheat breeding. Campbell lauds superior Australian progress and cites seed improvements, with circulars offering higher prices for two wheat varieties and sizable gains from modern breeding. Fruits research is also highlighted as fruitful at experiment farms.
