Super for Top-dressing Advocated by the Director of Fields Division, Department of Agriculture suf X (Excerpt from recent speech of f Mr. A. H. COCKAYNE, Director of the Fields Division of the Department of Agriculture, at the Conference of the Royal Agricul- . tural Society. Reproduced from ‘ “N.Z. Herald,” Auckland.) Mr. Cockayne stated that experiments in top-dressing had been carried out longer in the Waikato than in any other part of the Dominion, where 'it had been definitely proved that Lime and Super was the best fertiliser to use.’ ■■ He further stated that on soils of poorer quality a slow-acting phosphate gave better , x results. S This statement by one of the most prominent agricultural authorities in New Zealand, stresses what all progressive farmers realise —the necessity for topdressing, and more especially the outstanding superiority of high-grade Super. In the official test conducted by the Department of Agriculture at Te Kumi near Te Kuiti, it has been shown that Superphosphate and Superphosphate with Lime surpass any other fertilisers for top-dressing. Super 44/46% is manufactured in New Zealand from Nauru/Ocean Phosphate. You can procure supplies from all Merchants and Storekeepers: or direct from the Manufacturers.
