THE ADVANTAGES OF TOP-DRESSING WITH "ROCKLAND" SUPERPHOSPHATE NOW THOROUGHLY ESTABLISHED Better grazing enable* you to carry more stock . . . brings larger returns . . . and assures greater profits . . • all made possible with Top- Dressing. The value and advantages of Top-Dressing have now been established by official tests, and the experience of fanners all over the country has now conclusively established that "Rockland" Superphosphate periodically applied to pasture lands promotes a definite and valuable increase in the quantity and valueof grazing that not only is it possible to successfully carry a greatly increased number of stock, but also the health of the stock and the quality and volume of the wool are greatly improved. The results derived from Top-Dressing pastures with "Rockland" Superphosphate may vary with climatic conditions, but the improved average over a number of seasons Will You Take Advantage of Top-Dressing at Once ? always proves to be extremely profitable. Without it full return cannot be obtained. It is to be borne in mind that the increase in pasturage necessary to offset the cost of tsm Superphosphate and its application is realty not very great. Furthermore, k is also established that even though adverse climatic conditions may militate against full return being secured the season following its application, none of the Superphosphate is lost, but turns to profit sooner or later. In some instances Top-Dressing with Swear phosphate has enabled three sheep per acre to be carried where previously k was easy possible to carry aae. Now is the Time to Make Pr Orders for "Rockland" Su should be Placed Without Further hate The suggestion has been made that Nitrogenous Manures can be used to supplement "Rockland" Superphosphate for Top-Dressing an idea derived, no doubt, from the action of Nitrogen on certain cereal crops. Whether the use of Nitrogenous Manures is profitable remains to be proved, and it must be borne in mind that no amount of expensive Nitrogen can make up for an absence of essential Phosphates which constitute the principal soil deficiency in this country. Even as an adjunct to Superphosphate, it is well to remember that, unless the sudden growth sometimes produced by Nitrogen can be used right away, a rough, rank, and unprofitable pasture may follow. For . undefined reason, Nitrogen also has tendency to suppress Qovers, whereas Superphosphate has proved of the greatest vahie in stimulating this valuable pasture. While experts all agree on the vakic at "Rockland" Superphosphate for Top-Dressing, they state that it still remains to be proved whether Nitrogen will give favourable return* before its use can be recommend*** as supplementary to Superphosphate.
