3SH6tfa@@s 15Tet£e®2! UdtTNT SOMERS 'LIME. MB. JAMA'S-AyfiTZ-N. WIHCHEgTKE; Says—Tie Dime I bought ms - used wWi turnips, and I have the beat orspo? Hybrid and Swedaa that I ever had, notwithstanding the very hid season for that crop. I sowed the Dima with a Duncan drill, and had no difficulty in so doing. Whore any unusual quantity of Lime was split, I notice the roots are much larger than elssj where. I am ■ now using Dime in sowing wheat* hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MB JOHN GEIGG, Donobbach, Says—The Dime 1 used last year was only for) rape in peat land and for fruit trees. For the latter the benefit was very great but for tho rape all the crop was so superb thac I could not see any difference. But there is no doubt of its value on peat soils and on cold clays. I shall take a larger quantity than I have ordered. ME G, T. SMITH, Nuebebymak, Ashburton, Says—l am pleased to Inform you that lam quite satisfied, from experiments I made in liming land for fruit trees, that grand results follow, the fteuit being larger, more abundant, and the colour teirfect; also the Dima keeps in check the slug and grab. For growing clover with irrigation the result is simply marvellous the clover being of a luxuriant green. In short, I consider Dime and irrigation go hand in hand with perfect husbandry. He finishes hy saying ho intends to keep on nsing Mount Somers Dime from time to time. MB F. WILDING „ . (For the Styx Apple Co.) Hays—The Dime used at the Myx Orchard had an excellent effect upon the soil. The trees bore well and were unusually free from Insect posts of every kind. ME W, T. SMITH, Spring burn. Soys—He limed strips in two old grass paddocks which had boon down to grass ten years, and in both oases it renewed the pasture on these strips, a vigorous growth of clover and ryegrass appear, ing in each strip. ME ANDREW M’PAELANE, gPRIKOEUEK, Says—He Dimed some grass land eighteen months ago this summer. Ke shut it up for hay, and in two cuttings took off four tons more grass per acre off limed ground than the non.limed. ME JOHNSTON, Hasatbre, Says—He Dimed a piece of a grass paddock which had been down four years, shut it up for hay this Rummer, and the limed ground by weight gave nearly three times as much grass as the non* limed. ME HOOD Bays—Ho limed GO acres, leaving 14 acre in the middle unlimed, the whole of the land being drilled in with turnips and superphosphate. By actual weight and measurement the limed land gave 21 tons to the acre, unlimed 11 tone. Estimating turnips at 2s 6d per ton, ws have 52s 6d and 27ai 6d an aore respectively. From these figures, if yon require 3000 tons of turnips, it will require 100 acres of unlimed land, and it will cost £IOO for labour and phosphate; whereas, if you lime the land, you get 1000 tons off 50 acres, and so save the labour and phosphate on 50 acres, thereby saving £SO, without taking into consideration that you have the use of 60 acres for some other purpose, and that you have a large credit balance in the limed soil, B.F.W.f MB BAND ALL, 07 Ashburton, fiays—He Dimed a strip in a paddock ft tan outlay' •Of £2 an acre eighteen months ago; the remainder: of the paddock ho treated with artificial manures; to the value of £3 an acre; planted the whole with potatoes and the whole crop was about equal. This! last spring he put part of it in potatoes and port in mangels; the potatoes on artificially manured' land gave 8 tone 12cwt per acre, potatoes on Dimed) land 10 tons 19owt per acre. The mangels with artificial manures gave SB tons to the acre, and oh Dimed land 58 tons to the acre. ME JOSEPH TUCKER . Says—Through Diming he has grown from 10 toi 12 tons of potatoes on land which would not grawj potatoes before. J ME J. T. BURNET, 07 KaUPOT, Says—By Liming land to the extent of IJton of, Lime to the acre he has been able to grow one. third more potatoes of much superior quality on Limed land. He has sent me two samples to' verify his statement, which are on view at the New) Zealand Clothing Factory. I have many other testimonials of k like, character. / MB EOBEST THEW, Peel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with superphosphate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime and phosphate in the proportion of one.to 090. On thirty acres he used two Duckets full of lime to (me hundredweight of phosphate; on another thirty acres he need phosphate alone—in each! case one and a quarter hundredweight was used, per aero. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing in the land which had the moat lime, although he was told not to mix the lime and) phosphate, as the lime would liberate the ammonia! from the phosphate. Finishes by saying he »so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again, B. F, WEIGHT, 6284 Mount Somers. Prize Medal Awarded Philadelphia Exhibition 1876, OAKEY’S Wellington Knife Polish.
