Are You Looking Farther ahead than immediate returns? IF THERE is one important aspect of farming that is liable to be overlooked more than another, it is that fundamental which is the very life of good farming—the maintenance and, if possible, the enhancement of the productiveness of the soil. In wheat growing, this aspect of good farming is only too frequently allowed to be forgotten even by experts who make economical production their main aim. The use of “Super” for manuring wheat is now practically universal, not only in this country, but all the world over. Year after year “Super” is the fertilising agent that produces those important increases in yield that were never more important than they are to-day, for it is only by securing the maximum bushelage that the wheat grower can offset increased working costs. But increased bushelage is not enough. Farsightedness always pays in the long run and ranking in importance with an increased bushelage is the question of residual fertility. Good farming always aims to enhance the pro« ductiveness of the soil. Wheat is a hungry feeder. No good purpose is served by cutting “Super” dowri to the minimum. It costs money to apply “Super** to the land, but it costs no more to make an adequate application of “Super” when sowing wheat than it costs to make a skimpy application. For this reason we advocate the use of 2 cwt of “Super” to the acre with wheat. This ensures—(l) the maximum possible crop and (2) the maintenance of “Residual Fertility” in the Soil . . . only by always giving thought to the question of “Residual Fertility” can you maintain and improve the productiveness of your land for subsequent crops and that is the essence of good farming. DON’T SKIMP THE “SUPER iv [(D The increased yield with 2 cwt of “Super” in some cases exceeds 12 bushels per acre. Increases of 7 and 8 bushels are quite common. Even with an increase of only 6 bushels, there is still a very high margin of profit on the cost of the “ Super,” and the land is left in better heart. ,(2) Adequate applications off “Super” develop sturdier = growth, deeper rooting and greater resistance to disease and inclement weather conditions, as well as improving the milling quality of the wheat. [(3) Wheat is a hard master—in other words, a hungry feeder. Only by the liberal use of “ Super ” can the residual fertility of the soil be maintained for subsequent crops. IN THE LONG RUN 2 CWT OR MORE OF “SUPER” per ACRE PAYS BEST
