Top Dressing — a moneq maker Every year the evidence in favour of Top-Dressing Pasture Lands becomes more and more pronounced. Experiments, both private and official, establish as fact that Top-Dressing offers great possibilities to farmers for increasing returns. Further, it is now recognised that the use of '‘Rockland” Superphosphate for Toppressing, by increased grazing and consequent greater production, is an economic factar which operates to the benefit of the individual and Dominion alike.

To obtain the best returns, Top-Dressing should not be delayed any longer than is possible. We recommend Top-Dressing in July and August. Use the Highest Grade “Rockland” Superphosphate—44/46 per cent. —as it is the cheapest in the end.
