FARMERS’ CO-OP. PRODUCE EXHIBIT.

-FERTILISERS. ;• i; Qf, special interest is the/fine display of the Farmers’ Co-op., and with “in- ; creased production” as the cry of those • interested in the welfare of 'Taranaki as ‘ a whole, fanners are’ well advised to pay; .particular attention to this exhibit. Manure of every kind and description is tho main item of interest, and. the attractive way'the display, is arranged cannot/fail to arrest'the attention of the public. All the fertilisers on 'the stand arc manufactured by the New Zealand Farmers’ Fertiliser Company at .their, extensive works in Auckland, and it -is very striking evidence' of\th.ei wonderful work eo-opera,-tive societies are doing dor Taranaki. Both the manufacturers’ and the sellers’ are farmers’ concerns, run exclusively j for the benefit of the ‘fanning. com- j infinity, and eliminating uiiv chance of I exploitation of our farmers by keeping the./ price, of manured at the lowest j possible .level. /. All classes of fertilisers are to he seeri.and farmers will'be particularly interested in ' the exhibit of; pure “.Nauru Rock" iii its natural state, just as received from Nauru Island. This! rock-' is the basis from .which all the uiaiiures on /show are. manufactured, and is the same rock. which when fully "•round is used by many farmers throughout Taranaki, as a. top-dressing. SEEDS. Some very fine roots arc displayed, grown, by fanners, within the province, notwithstanding the fact that, generally speaking-, the roots have been poof this season. This onlv goes to, prove that pedigree root seeds are riuite as essential US-pedigree cows, and the Farmers’ Co-op. are indeed fortunate in quite ■ ecentlv • securing the sole -agency for. Taranaki of -“AYebb's”-''. famous root seeds'. '“"Webb’s” have been tried and tested throughout New Zealand 'for mam- years, and the striking results obtained in - the ; past year -with these

seeds leiid stlength' to the. contention that: price ’ does hotmatter.. provided the . seedi is- right. . Roots ./firb’m. ‘.‘Cooper’s’’;:.and. “Garton.’s.”' seeds; for which. the/Eafmers’ Co-op. are ’agents, are also t0,,h0 seen, and. this collection of' roots-rswedes, - soft turnips, .mangolds, and : carrots —prove, that .with pedigree seeds such .as. . “M r ebh. , Sj”. ‘.‘.Cooper/apd. “Carton; s,/ 1 and , with high-gradei; :“Te. .Hapapa”,..: fertilisers, fanners are i assured of. a supply of tlipiyery best winter:'feed.

' /SEPARATORS. v “VIK1X0” AND ‘;AVOLSELEY:” ..The .'Farmers'.’..'Cq-op, also show Lwo separators,,;the ‘/Viking” and . the] “AVolseley,”.. . Under ordinary . circumstances a .separator is purchased once in a lifetime,. ,and ; f armers should, therefore be , cautious and see they . get. the machine that will stand up, to the heavy work without continual .trouble'and 'replacements. 1 /.The .“Wolseley” is aii English, machine, made hv tlie same, firm as .the. \Volseley. shear.ing-maclmie. This in itself is-a-recommendation, and is, perfect , ip every/particular.. - One generally : .exp.ects.. ,to. pay inore for .an' English article, hut in the case of the V’ol.seley Separator the,.price.-is .-.quite competitive,, being. -tuucli slower. - than, sonie of the American and; Swedish machines. It- is \recognised '/tli-e iVhplct wbi;ld/qver /that > no ,PiaiiHfactur,er . caif '.cut.gears as'can the English in.auiifacturer, and .sthis- fact • is, most' forcibly cleinpiistrated 'in the silent, . smooth running, of the: “AVol-selev”/: SeparatpiqThe “Vikihg” Separator is undoubted. Jy one. of tlie best machines .made in Sw'edcn—cheaper in price than-, thei. “ Vobselev,’/. .but wyth a Very, fine record of bard ■ World for' hundreds of wellsatisfied Taranaki farmers. All, si7,cs of these, two; machines are. stockedy hy the Co-0p..-from the. haliv. -1.0, gallons to the big power machine putting through 120/gallons' per ..hour.' And, what is most important- to the purchaser, a Fiji! stock of spare parts is always on haiid—-it is well. £o reinemh'er this point when nui-chasing a separator, for- it jineans that farmers can absolutely 1 depend ' mi their ‘‘Wolseley”: .or ‘‘Vikling” Separator being always; on the j job, with no trouble waiting for a, few davs for perhaps a small part to arrive. The Cb-on;'.stand, is well worth the attention -of;.all visitors to the- show, and. as experts are iii atfcndaUce,. valuable information is available' fo farmers regarding inanui-cs- and seeds a thorough knowledge o r which ■is ossential to tlie farmed., of Taranaki to-dav, ’
