How is it that small . countries like .Denmark and fciwitaerland produce sucii wonderful quantities, of dairy and farm produce? plainly by growing root crops lor \>infer feed, and to a less extent somt> feed for summer and autumn fattening, ihe. vast majority of tho farmers m New Zealand can easily increase the carrying capacity of their land oy tUe same means. A good crop of carrots, mange L:s, swedes, or turnips w:ill produce from, bay, torty to seventy tons per acre. We grow a large acreage ai carrots for seyd each season. Now, in. yellow carrots we have perfected by selection on our own farms m Now Zealand the finest type and stock that isHo be had in any part of the world— Cooper's Giant Yellow. It is immense in size and cropping powers, and fine and clean in shape, with a wonderful high percentage of dry matter. This ■splendid carrot gives added richness and colour !to the milk • and cream. Our seed is new crop, New Zealand grown and tested by the Department of Agriculture, showing a tine percentage of, growth.
