There is a State Agricultural College at Gatton, South Queensland, where students can undergo a three years’ training at a cost of under £30 per annum. Are there any other State Experimental Farms? Yes. At Hermitage, near Warwick; Roma, South-western Queensland; Warren, near Rockhampton; Gindie, near Emerald; Kairi, Atherton district (North Queensland); and at Kamerunga, near Cairns (North Queensland); Sugar Experiment Station and Laboratory, Mackay (North Queensland); and experimental plots in all the principal sugar districts. House and Buildings. At first a farmer generally erects a rough, cheap building of materials cut on the place at a cost of a few pounds, and when matters improve puts up a more suitable dwelling. Where can Building Materials be Obtained? Iron and wood can be obtained in any part of Queensland. Competition among the timber merchants is so keen that timber can be procured at a small cost. A small comfortable cottage can be built for about £100 upwards. Do Droughts Often Occur? The last drought was in 1902, and even then there were parts of Queensland not affected by it. Droughts do not, as a rule, affect the whole country, and with extended railway communication relief country will be available. Recuperative Power of the Land. The recuperative power of the land is marvellous. A fortnight after summer rain (following a dry spell) the country is waving with grasses. Owing to the mild climate, the growth is phenomenal. Local Markets. Farmers can readily dispose of all they can grow in the local markets, where competition amongst buyers is keen. Southern Markets. There is a certain market in the South for all Queensland produce. Oversea Markets. A certain market for wool, hides, butter, cheese, frozen meat, and other products exists in Great Britain and Europe. Trade with the United States and Canada is developing. There are splendid openings for trade with Java, China, Japan, and the East generally. What is the Nature of the Trade with Asia? Cattle, horses, bones, hoofs, leather, butter, cheese, fodder, fruits, glue pieces and sinews, barley, oats, wheat, bran, pollard, flour, hay, chaff, honey, refined animal fats, manures, bacon and hams, beef, mutton, pork, other meat, milk concentrated and preserved, potatoes, skins and hides, tallow, wool. Horses. There were 707,265 horses in Queensland in 1913. A large remount trade is now done with India, Java, and the East. What Parts of Queensland are the Best for Cattle? Cattle do well all over Queensland, and especially on the Eastern coast lands and the North. What Number of Cattle are there in Queensland? 5,322,033 for 1913. Where do Sheep Thrive Best?
