Sheep grazed on top-dressed pastures show a pronounced increase in the growth and quality of their wool. Only a slight increase in each fleece is needed to make a bii i difference in your "wool cheque." Top-dressing with "Rockland" Superphosphate lengthens the life of pastures. , Pastures are kept in a highly profitable state with a minimum of "breaking up" for crops. Furthermore, top-dressed pastures start growth' earlier in Spring and keep going longer into the Autumn. With this shortening of the 'Winter period of pasture scarcity,, fanners are less dependent on root crops for Winter feed. Stock grazed on Top-dressed pastures keep in better condition. Top-dressing with "Rockland" Superphosphate supplies the vital phosphate content to grasses and clovers. Analysis shows that it is doubled in herbage treated with superphosphate compared with grasses and clovers not treated. / The minimum application of "Rockland" Superphosphate should be 2 cwt. per acre. Adequate fertiliser must be applied if fall effect is to be secured. In many instances 3 ewt. per acre! can be used with advantage. Remember, all superphosphate not immediately absorbed by plant growth is retained in the soil for further use. The Tim© for Spi hand.

Following the successes obtained by topdressing hill country; in the North Island, it is now certain that excellent returns can be secured over wide areas of the hill country in the South Island.

The usual application is 3 cwt. per acre. ■■■£■# "■■■■/ 11, f - ■'J |||! 3mMM %iii:'<! EI!EiSff S TS®IPJE, : & €©.'S MEW ZEALAND DHUG CO. LT®. 136 HIGH STREET, CHRISTCHURCH
