tstM : &ik'y< EXTEND PASTURE GROWTH SEVERAL WEEKS in LATE AUTUMN Autumn Top Dressing with Super materially increases the late Autumn growth, gives pastures vigour to Winter satisfactorily and assures good Autumn feed of great value (amongst other things) for flushing ewes. {*Page 3) EARLIER SPRING FEED FOR STOCK Growth starts much earlier in the Spring with Autumn TopDressed pastures . . . this helps to bridge the gap in stock feeding during lean months and reduces the amount of subsidiary crops required to carry stock over. (*P«ge 3) INCREASE YOUR PERCENTAGE OF FAT LAMBS OFF THE MOTHERS Fat lambs off the mothers reach very high percentages when pastures are regularly Top-Dressed with Super. On many runs practically all lambs now go away fat straight from top-dressed grass. On other properties, Fat Lambs averaged 120 to 146 per cent, over past few years. (*Pages 2,' 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15) LAMBING PERCENTAGES INCREASED The value of herbage with a proper phosphatic content as a result of regular Autumn Top-Dressing with Super is shown by important increases in Lambing. percentages. A good fresh pasture of high mineral content means that ewes are carried in good thriving condition right up to lambing. (tPage 2) WEIGHT AND QUALITY OF WOOL IMPROVED Sulphur is the mineral required by sheep fOr the production of "Cystine," an essential element of wool. It is not generally known that "Super" and "Reverted Phosphate" contain 10 per cent. Sulphur, while insoluble phosphates do not contain any sulphur. This explains why Top-Dressing with "Super" improves both the quality and weight of wool. Runholders report throughout the South Island increases in weight of woof up to 2£lb per fleece. (*Pages 13 and 14) SAFEGUARD YOUR PASTURE AGAINST A POSSIBLE DRY SEASON In Canterbury, South Otago and Southland this summer, Hay Crops on land that had been regularly Top-Dressed with "Super" gave astonishingly heavy yields compared with paddocks to which no "Super" had been applied. This was commented on in the press. (*Page 8). RAIN OR FINE, YOU CAN ALWAYS TOPDRESS., Order your■gjK' and have it on your farm ready to apply When the first opportunity 1 presented.
