South Pacific Agricultural
Aspects Told By Williams
D. W. Williams, vice-chancellor
>f Agriculture for the A&M Sys-
)em recently told the A. H. 428
Seminar class and several animal
husbandry majors about the major
aspects of agriculture in Australia
and New Zealand.
Williams was head of the ani
mal husbandry department for
several years.
Williams explained that most
of us have the wrong impression
of the two countries. These coun
tries are at least 1290 miles apart
and are entirely different in agri
cultural aspects.
Australia and U. S.
Australia is about the same size
as the United States, and has ap
proximately the populatiion of
Texas. With such a dense popula
tion and relatively large area of
low rainfall, agriculture, espec
ially livestock production, is the
major enterprise.
Because of the rolling, hilly na
ture of the terrain,
ially Merino, thrive
the other classes of
Williams stressed
wool marketing done
and emphasized that
standard method of
^ New Zealand
sheep, espec-
better than
livestock,
the type of
in Australia,
this was the
marketing.
Small
New Zealand, on the other hand,
is a small country, but their ideas’
on the improvement and develop
ment of hew agricultural methods
are numerous. The main improve
ment plan now going on in New
Zealand deals with grass agricul
ture.
By planting grass in rows like
grain sorghums, cotton, wheat, and
other crops, better seed can be
developed for planting. This exper
iment consists of planting certain
species in rows and then culling
out the unthrifty, dwarty species.
After several culling tests, a vig
orous, healthy, early maturing
plant will result, the speaker add
ed.
