31 pa^ TOP DRESS PASTURES HOW BECAUSE There is everything so gain and nothing to lose by applying “ROCKLAND” Superphosphate to grass lands in early Autumn. To stimulate the growth of Grass and Clovers Superphosphates must be incorporated with the soil. This is effected by rain and it has been found in practice that the greatest return from the top-dress-ing of grass lands is soured when manures are applied NOW and washed in by Autumn and early Winter rains. Stimulation of grass growth NOW extends the period of good stock-carrying capacity well into Winter, and this, combined with the fact that pastures which are top-dressed now start growth in the Spring several weeks earlier, means that the period of pasture shortage in Winter is lessened by six weeks to two months. Consequently, the stock owner is less dependent on such an uncertain crop as Turnips for carrying his stock over the Winter. « Top-dressing now practically doubles the carrying capacity of grass lands and makes for healthier and more profitable stock There is less damage to pastures and the work can be done much better NOW when land is hard than when it is soggy, with Winter rains. No matter how early Superphosphate is applied there is no loss of the manure by its leaching through, -as Phosphate is always held in the first layers of the soiL e p. & a aiSBHC • The fullest effects of top-dressing are only secured when the correct fertiliser Is applied in sufficient quantities All tests have proved that High-Grade “Rockland** Superphosphates give the greatest returns and on . practically all land in the South Island the quantity applied should be 3 cwts. per acre —-certainly not less than 2 cwts.
