SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. TOP-DRESSING GRASS ULJ. FARMERS—»o not make the commoa mlataka of ealculating the value of a fextiliaer by its PRICE PER TON. CONSIDER what the eost will be when applying the necessary quantity of Phosphoric Acid. THUS "EPHOS" BASIC PHOSPHATE contains about half as much ■gain of Phosphoric Acid as Basie Blag. In other wordß| in round figures, it requires only 601ba weight of EPHOS as against 100 lbs weight of Slag to apply an equal quantity of Phosphates to the land. CONSIDER ALSO The saving in railway carriage, eartage, and handling. "EPHOS” combines the quickness of action of Superphosphate with the beneficial effects obtained b X Blag on pastures. "EPHOS” has long sinee made its reputation by results, and ia ths cheapest fertiliser to ue. “EPHOS” IS NON-AOD. OBTAINABLE FROM ALL MERCHANTS. Glenbourne, Waiau (Canterbury), April 3,1924. I have need your EHOS manure for three years on the Port Hills, North Canterbury, and here in the Amari. In each of those districts the land varied very much in character, from volcanic to alluvial and limestone country, and on each occasion the manure gave very satisfactory results. These results are particularly noticeable on the shady sides of downs country, where the soil is inclined to be sour. I tried it this year at licwt per acre, qn a small paddock ef lucerne sown in November, where the land was in a very parched condition. I expected no success whatever with this crop on account of the excessive heat, but the “EPHOS "appeared to stimulate the growth at the critical stage when the vitality of the plant is being transferred from the seed to the roots, and contrary to my expectations, the lucerne struck' With only one shower of rain in six Weeks, and had a good cut at the end of January. I have had the same results this year with a . paddock of oats sown at the end of January, which is now ready to eat off. I started to sew this crop with a drill I had not previously used, and as the EPHOS is of a very free running nature, I opened up gradually till I got to lewt per acre, which was the quantity used. The gradual increase in the manure is now seen in the growth of the pats. I have since used it on a paddock of Emerald rye] which appears to be doing well, but it- is too early to notice any particular effects on this crop. I consider “EPHOS" to be worth £1 per ton more than any other manure I have tried for forcing on green crops; and it is my intention to continue using it while it gives these results.
