That fact ia known'-to everyone who takes any interest in New Zealand farming operations. But the seeond stage of thia development is the learning how to apply the fertilizers in order to secure the (greatest possible increase in the annual carrying capacity of the land. The problem involved in this is being systematically studied by officers of the 'Agricultural Department with the object of providing practical guidance for (farmers, states the “ N.Z. Herald.” | Improvement of the sward is the object with which top-dressing is primarily undertaken. An advance has mow been made beyond this to the stags (when stimulation of growth is sought la* the periods of the year when norbnally it is least. TOP-DBEBBING FOB WINTER FEED.

At one time it was the practice to apply ffiort of the phosphate top-dressing in the winter or early spring, an officer ot .the department stated. The general effect of the application of ferti•dizers then is greatly to increase the Rate spring and early summer production of grass. Several yehrs ago, largely lowing to the propaganda of the Department of Agriculture, farmers changed lever their main top-dressing to the (month of March, the effect being to jftimulate greatly the autumn and early (Winter growth of grass and so increase tthe carrying capacity of the farm. As (from 80 to 70 per eent. of normal grass [production takes place in the spring •nd the early summer, it follows that stimulation of growth is less needed then than at the less favourable periods, If the object is to increase the grazing Capacity of the farm. NEW METHODS FORECASTED.

It is possible that the outcome of the pests now being completed will be that In the future farmers will top-dress the greater part of their land in March, will give some of the best fields a neeond dressing during the winter to increase the early spring production, and Will apply fertilizers to other portions pf their holdings in November and December in order to obtain the effect on Illi. pasture in the late summer and jearly autumn.
