bn Canterbury 3181,750 Busmu^WHEu The collective loss by Canterbury Wheatgrowers last year through neglect of adequate wheat manuring with Superphosphate can be set down at the huge total of 318,750 bushels. Official figures show that out of the 255,000 acres sown with wheat last year, 25 per cent, was sown without Superphosphate. This omission to use “ Super ” was responsible for a loss that averaged 5 bushels of grain for each acre neglected .... Official tests over a number of years have established the fact that lcwt of Superphosphate to the acre, applied at the same time as the wheat was sown, gives an average increase in yield of five bushels an acre, irrespective of the quality of the soil. The loss to the wheatgrowing industry in Canterbury last year through omitting to manure 25 per cent, of the crops with “ Super ” amounts to 318,750 bushels. Superphosphate also enables wheat crops to better withstand dry seasons. Furthermore, it is now established that wheat manured with “ Super ” resists rust. In a special article in the N.Z. Journal of Agriculture, March 20, 1933, liberal manuring is recommended as an important factor in the practical control of Wheat Diseases .... strongly growing, sturdy, well-spaced plants are more resistant to mildew and scab. It must also be borne in mind that the increased yield directly resulting from “ Super ” not only gives a return of several hundred per cent, on the outlay for “ Super,” but it also reduces the production cost per bushel of the whole crop ! Every Acre of Wheat soww this year i without l cwt. of Superphosphate will represent a loss of 5 Bushels of Grain to the grower
