Book Description

'Wheat Growing in Australia" is an informational publication by the Australian Ministry of External Affairs aimed at encouraging foreign investment in the area of wheat farming in the country. "With the growing scarcity of foodstuffs that has become a world-wide feature of the last few years, the wheat grower is one of the most important necessities in civilisation. He has prospered in the past, but the future holds still greater and richer prospects. And in no country in the world are those prospects brighter than in the Commonwealth of Australia...The great island continent in the southern seas possesses a vast area of proven wheat land, as yet untouched by the plough. It lies dormant, fertile, and responsive, awaiting the union of labour and land to yield abundance of food."
