AUTU N TOPHREUING ' ■■■ - . ■' . .- J. . *- ■■ ' . 7’ Pahticulariy ar While the soil is warm and Soil Bacteria Active The most profitable branch of farming to-day is the raising of fat lambs on top-dressed pastures, Top-dressing with “Super” and big profits from fat lambs are indissolubly linked together. Why ? . Because the best lambs and the highest lambing percentages are ONLY obtained where pastures are rich in mineral phosphates. “Stiper” increases the nutritive $ Earlier Spring growth and increased value of Pastures growth o£ grass Chemical analyses of grasses and clovers grown with and without Early Autumn top-dressing “Super” a marked increase ♦nr.

The problem of many farmers is to maintain “Super” make the phosphate and protein content of grasses and balanC e m the growth of grass and clover, and the early Autumn clover two and three times greater. In other words, by regularly top-dressing with “Super” allows the grass to consolidate in the top-dressing your pastures with “Super,” you produce herbage Spring before tlie clover growth comes away. with the high mineral content that plays such an important part . in increasing the returns and profits from farming. * - . - - « - The abnormally heavy growth ol the past, tow months has imposed A brief SUHUUmg Up Of the.reSUltS Of a severe tax on the phosphate content of the soil.

Lime is essential for all good grass pastures, particult is well to remember that crops take a lot out of the soil . . . larly when carrying capacity is reasonably heavy. Many farmers this is one of the reasons we recommend two cwt and more of are finding it sound practice to top-;dress scwt of lime with cwt “Super” to the acre with wheat so as to maintain a high residual of “Super” each year on the better paddocks. Where liming is fertility in the soil after cropping. Where pastures are being impracticable, use Reverted Phosphate on the pastures of Southerly grown on land previously cropped, substantial applications of aspect, and of a sourer nature. Reverted does not take the place “Super” in the form of early Autumn Top-Dressing, can be made of lime. Liming should be gone on with, but “Reverted-Phosphate” . with extremely profitable results. is a form of “Super” that is particularly successful on soitfer land. ' ■ - 'O-iA ' ' . '' ' ’ .
