lii a paper on grassland iamung, Mr A. 11. Cockayne, assistant DirectorGeneral of Agriculture, said: "Tlie greatest single factor at the present time that i.s commencing to greatly .stimulate production from grassland is top-dressing. The area, top-dressed is being increased at the rate of many iiuuureds of thousands of acres annually and some 300)000 toius of fertilisers, almost all of a phosphatic nature, are being used ou grassland in lengthening both the growth period ami increasing the actual production of high protein grass. Even though top-dressing has increased greatly of recent years, the total area annually dealt with is still well under 3,000,000 acres. I forecast that within the next decade our top-dressing tonnage will reach the million mark, but later on its phosphatic character will largely alter, nitrogen, potash and lime becoming vcarly of increasing importMr. .1. M. M? Linden, of Mnssey ollpffc said in an address near Palorder had made its appearance in the Wniknto with occasional serious results. The symptoms were similar to mill< lever and occurred perhaps 10 days aiter calving, Often it would occur suddenly during milking. The affected cow would crash to the ground, in some cases in delirium and in other cases in distinct coma. A controversy was nv'ing, ho, added, as to the cause, and although a number of possibilities hail been outlined no definite conclusions had been reached.
