Then 'with, a ■drop from 16d to lid in the price of butter fat,there was a reduction in the quantity of artificial mon- • ures used of no fewer than 50,000 .tons. And with reduced prices still ... ruliilg i or fat a similar decrease in the quantity of manure used was rev corded last year, andthe average production 4>er cow dropped to 185 lb ;. for whole of the Dominion. From point of view it was esseh&aPto keep up the use of fertilisers, ■%s.& Mr Broadbent added ithat dufing'the past year the Levin Dairy Company had handled about £4400 worth of manures, purchased • for the suppliers; ah increase of about £3OO compared with the previous sea- • :/ -son.
