BLACKBERRY—A FOE TO FARMER'S PROSPERITY.
The blackberry pest is like an invading army. If not vigorously opposed, it will wrest the soil from the lawful possessors. Grubbing has hitherto been considered the only effective way of dealing with this enemy to the farmer'.'' peace of mind —and pocket ; but grubbing is slow, laborious, costlyand on some land impossible. Recent experiments have proved, however, that in YVheelbnnd's Blackberry Eradicator there has at last been discovered an expeditions and economical way .of destroying this most obnoxious plant. Applied by spraying, so that the foliage is completely covered. Wheelhand's Eradi rator works into the heart of the plant and gradually destroys it. Twenty gallons of powerful foraying mixture can be made from one gallon Eradicator, price —a small sum considering the money it saves. Fur name of nearest dealer write to Messrs. W. IT. Simms and Sons. Ltd., Union Buildings, Auckland, and at Christchurch.
