This striking example of profitable returns from topdressing pastures with "Rockland" Superphosphate is particularly important, as it was obtained in a district commonly considered a light rainfall area. Even in parts of Australia where the annual rainfall is but little over 12 inches, top-dressing has shown marked results. THE SECRET of success lies in using high-grade "Rockland" Superphosphate, 44/46%, not less than 2 cwts. per acre, and, though good results are secured in the spring, maximum results are obtained by application in autumn or early winter, so that the winter rains can wash it into the roots of the grasses and clover.
