In view of the anticipated short supply of fertilisers throughout the Dominion, announcement of an expected shipment of "Ephos" basic phosphate will be of interest to farmers. "Ephos" was first imported into New Zealand some two years ago, and has since been extensively used with satisfactory results. Messrs. Murray, Roberts, and Co., Ltd., are the New Zealand agents for "Ephos." .Dairy farmers, you'll be wise in having your milking machines and engines overhauled in readiness for the season. But consult an expert—don't tolerate a "tinkered-up" job—consult A. J. Parton. First-rate workmanship and high-class materials at a reasonable cost—theso make for absolute satisfaction. Note the address: A. J. Parton, Sheet Metal and Plumbing Works, Pembroke Street, Carterton.—Advt.
