We notice a recent competitive advertisement offers to supply | our or any other firm's mixtures when required, at the same selling j | price. We published our ingredients fully realising that some com- | petitors might copy them. But we frankly published them in I farmers' interests, because they really are entitled to know what is in every bag of manure they buy. p We have no need to imitate any other compositions because I we know ours to be the purest and best—endorsed as they are by 1 Mr. J. A. Pond, F.C.S., late Government Analyst. | To enable farmer shareholders of any company to judge the 1 respective values of competing manures, we now invite our ad- 11 vertising friends to follow our lead, and publish their ingredients. That it would be interesting and instructive to farmers, the following comparison suggests :-- Striking Comparison of Value and Price. RAPE MANURE. I Nitrogen. Sulph. of Potash. Tri-cal. Phos. Price. B Theirs 1.52 Nil. 292 £7-10-0 I Ours 1.52 2.22 562 £6-16-0 I Tho minimum guaranteed analyses us already published are given in both cases, || || , although actual analysis may be a fraction higher. jg B It will be noted that we give an equal percentage of nitrogen, 2.2% of potash to w i their nil, and twice as much phosphate—all this for 13/6 per ton less. H I We leave the Verdict as to Value with the Farmer Himself. 1 1 Now read this FULL ANALYSIS of ALL Challenge Manures. I Note too the lower prices. I COMPOSITION. MINIMUM GUARANTEE.
