POINTS ON TOPDRESSING
Cost Relation to Product Prices The price of Super has fallen during recent vears to an extent roundly commensurate witli the fall in fat lamb prices. In other words the same num- ! ber of extra pounds of fat lamb pays for a hundred-weight of Super as it did formerlv. For this reason Topdressing of pastures with Super pays as readily to-day as it did when produce prices were higher During the present difficult timcia, greater attention ca«* be profitably I given to the Sutler Top-dressing as a means not only of keeping production at the highest profitable level, but also as a means of avoiding deterioration in : Grasslands, which is likelv to lead to I loss many times greater than the cost I of the Top-dressing needed to avoid It. Where pre-winter Top-dressing has been neglected, good results are secured from one to two cwt of Super applied to pastures this month. —2
