Hull, and Alexander Reid, of the Survey Department. Survey Office, July, 1863. Sm, · I HAVE the honor of presenting to you a paper relating to the Agricultural Trade of Tasmania, which I have written as a fitting preface for a revised edition of the Official Pamphl~t which is prepared in this office, namely, The Lanrj,s of Tasmania, now ready for publication. It will be found to contain much information of interest to our farmers and exporters of agricultural produce. And, to make it as complete as I could, I have appended several Tables to it, compiled from the most reliable records at command, all of them either directly or remotely illus­ trative of this trade .. I will commence by stating that, in dealing with the subjects referred to in this paper, I have not thought it advisable to <'elect any particular year for results wherewith to illustrate them; but have taken a series, which I consider to be the only fair and reliable way of treating them. In the first Table, marked A, where the fertility of the agricultural soils of Taslllania is com­ pared with those of other Colonies, I have gone back from 1861 to 1858; which is quite enough for the purposes of comparison. Table B, whose design is to show the extent of our trade in farm and forest produce with the principal Colonies we deal with, is spread over three years; which are enough to let the farmer and merchant see what may be the increase or declension of demand for any particular article. In those portions of the Table that have reference to our trade with New South Wales and Victoria in the years 1860 and 1861, I have taken my information from their own Returns, believing them to be more reliable than ours are. This course I would also have adopted in treating of our trade with New Zealand ; but her commercial records are very clumsily g;ot up, and bear, moreover, such un­ mistakable marks of inaccuracy that I have adopted our own in their stead. The last-named ones have also been used for all three Colonies for last year, for the simple reason that there are none others at present in the Colony to refer to. ' Table C shows our trade in farm and forest produce with all countries for the same years as those used in Table B, and is necessarily drawn up from our• own returns ; as it is not possible to get a statement of our entire exports and imports from any other source that I know of. The object of this Table is to·show what proportion of the national income is derived from the soil; which I shall have pre­ sently to use to enforce my arguments on the subject of improving our internal communications, without which our agriculture can never flourish. Table D illustrates the trade in stock that is carried on by New South Wales, · Victoria, and Tasmania ; which is far more considerable than most persons have any idea of, as regards the two first-named Colonies. This Table, besides being designed for general information, is also meant to show that Tasmania does not stand alone in the non-increase of her sheep, which is common to all three. Table Eis a Five-years' Return of the wool trade of all the Southern Colonies (Swan River excepted), which has been compiled, not only for the purposes of general information, but to ascertain the weight of the fleece yiel<led by each Colony as proved by the exports of five consecutive years. The results thus ascertained should be satisfactory to the landowner and flockmaster of Tasmania, . by showing him that the wool-producing qualities of his pastures are good when measured by the standard of those of other Colonies. It will be observed of Table A, that hardly any information is to be had of the tillage of New Zealand; the official statistics of that Colony being remarkably silent thereon. I have, however, thrown into the Table the very little matter that is to be extracted from them. 4 It will appear from this Table 1hat the farmers of none of the Colonies of the South are now so successful as our own are in the g-rowth of the five principal crops raised in the Australias, uamely­ barley, oats, wheat, hay, and potatoes. In Tasmania the yield of that very exhausting crop, pota­ toes, has always been greater than that of any of t.he places named in the Table; and though our farmers, five years ago, were a good deal behind those of some of the other countries, particularly in the growth of barley and oats, this is now no longer the case. Both New South vVales and South Australia are greatly behind Tasmania, but Victoria treads very clo,ely on her heels in every thing except bay and potatoes. With regard to areas in cultivation, South Australia takes the lead of all the Colonies. The area of her tilled lands, if divided amongst her population, gives to each of them three roods and twenty-six perches more than Tasmania has; but her soils must he either poor or exhausted, as the yield of no single crop is comparable with ours. In barley she is behiud us by more than seven bushels the acre; in oats by ve1·y nearly six; and in wheat by twelve and a hall exactly. Of hay she produced twelve and a half cwts. less, and of potatoes forty-two cwts. less per acre. This was in 1861. Neither New South Wales nor Victoria has an acre a head in tillage; and so long as this con­ tinues to be the case they must be considerable importers of the articles enumerated in the Table. Table Bis an exposition of our trade in farm produce, &c. with those countries with which we have our largest transactions, namely-Victoria, New South Wales, and New Zealand. Commencing with Victoria, the trad~ is much in our favour, whethe1· judged of by quantities interchanged or by the more doubtful figures which are supposed to represent the money value of that trade. Quantities, I may observe, may be generally relied on, (even though our own Returns and those of New Zealand are not very perfect in this respect) ; but it is a well-known fact that the "declared values" in the official Returns are very arbiti-arily affixed. The quantity column shows that our export trade with this great Colony is on the wane as regards oats and onions, and generally of forest produce; but in orchard. produce, hay and potatoes, butter and some other articles, our sales are increasing. Looking at the other side of the Table, our imports from Victoria are three or fom· times less than our exports thereto. These imports of ours are chiefly of live stock, without which the Victorian account ag·ainst us would be almost nil. I do not think that our export trade with New South Wales can be considered a declining one, even though the money value as affixed at the Custom House appears against us. Certain it is that there has been a greatly increased demand there for every article of farm produce, except potatoes, since 1861, and very generally since 1860.

SURVEY DEPART lVI ENT. REPORT FOR YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1891. Hobart, 6th July, 1891. Sm, I HAVE the honor to submit to you a Report on the working of the Survey Department for the year ending June the 30th, 1891. Consequent on the general development of the country, the current work of the office has steadily increased during the year, and the powers of the small staff have been severely strained to satisfy the demands made upon it. This Report will indicate how difficult it is to maintain an efficient staff under existing circumstances; that we have not yet recovered from the reductions previously made ; and that additional assistance is required to prevent the work from falling into serious arrears. CROWN LANDS AcT, 1890. · The consolidated Crown Lands Act passed last Session is a measure of the vei·y greatest importance to the country, and one that has received considerable attention in one form or another ever since the Land Bill of 1883 was introduced to Parliament. A short Land Act was passed each year since 1885, with the result that there were no fewer than twelve Acts to be studied before a stranger could acquire a competent knowledge of our Land Laws. If, therefore, for no other reason than that of consolidation, the Bill would have been hailed with satis­ faction. It, however, aims at the important principle of encouraging agricultural settlement in Mining Districts.

  • Grounds, Boyd and the Philip House
    4. Form Follows Formula: Grounds, Boyd and the Philip House Figure 4.1 Philip House, view from north-east Photograph: Ben Wrigley, 2011 John Philip was brought to Canberra as part of Frankel’s ambitious postwar recruitment program, and was appointed head of a new agricultural physics group at the CSIRO. Regarded as Australia’s leading environmental physicist, he was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1967. His wife, Frances (‘Fay’), was an accomplished artist who was related to the Boyds via the Mills and à Becketts, and had attended the Murrumbeena State School in Victoria with Mary and Arthur Boyd. Many of Frances’s portraits of Australia’s leading scientists and academics—including Sir Mark Oliphant, Doug Waterhouse, John Jaeger, William Rogers, Patrick Moran and Manning Clark—are held in the collections of the Australian Academy of Science and The Australian National University. The Philip House, at 42 Vasey Crescent, Campbell, is one of three adjacent houses by Grounds, Romberg and Boyd that are known collectively as the Vasey Crescent Group. The other two houses in the group are the Blakers House and the Griffing House. Grounds and Boyd were both involved with these houses. All three were designed by Grounds, who arranged initial briefings, recorded 101 Experiments in Modern Living the clients’ requirements and prepared sketches from late 1959 through to early 1960. Boyd met with the clients in January 1960, and took control of the houses from May of that year as Grounds prepared for a three-month overseas trip.1 The Philip House is important for two reasons.
