A SEASONABLE REMINDER AS TO LUCERNE
The value of top-dressing established stands of lucerne with superphosphate is the "subject of periodical departmental reminder. The outstanding advantages of such a top-dressing may be summarised as follow: 1. The green fodder yield is greatly increased. 2. A better-quality product results. *3. The general condition of the stand is built up consequent upon the vigorous growth developed. 4. The useful life of the stand may be extended, and depleted stands very largely restored. Extensive departmental and private experience indicates early spring as the be9t time for this treatment, and about 2 cwt per acre as (generally speak-’ ing) the most effective rate of application.
