Extract

The fluctuation in the nitrate content of arable soils in southern Australia is of special significance in connection with the practice of bare fallowing as a preparation for wheat growing. In the wheat areas of Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and the southern districts of New South Wales, fallowing is the recognised cultural basis for successful wheat production, and from a purely mechanical point of view the practice in the hands of the more skilful farmers has probably reached a degree of perfection which it would be difficult to surpass.
