v o u cantf 00l K>u> You may fool yourself nnd think that you are savins: money by neglecting: to topdress your pastures with Potash —but you can’t fool your pastures! Even where valuable fertilisers bought under the Government subsidy are used, such as Super and Ammoniated Super, much of the beneficial effect may be limited if not entirely lost, if there is a lack of available Potash in the soil. It has been stated that there is plenty of natural Potash in New Zealand soil, but although this may be truo in- a limited sense and in some areas, it does not follow that it applies everywhere. Therefore include in your Autumn topdressing programme at least a few bags of “30 per cent.” Their cost is triflling in proportion, and their trial use (at 2 to 3 cwt. per acre) may be of great assistance in increased yield, valuo and palatability. > It needs POTASH That New Zealand pastures may need POTASH is suggested by a statement made by Sir E. J. Russell, 0.8. E., D.Sc., F.R.S., Director of the Rothamsted Experimental Station. Writing in “Artificial Fertilisers,” 1931 (Page 172), he says: “Any pasture may need Potash where yields are forced up by nitrogenous and phosphatic manures!” Study this Chart. Fosch of Oakviaw, Ist and Champion Morrinsvillc, Auckland A. & P„ and' Franklin Shows, 1930-1 ; Ist, Special Class, Auckland Metropolitan Show, 1932, thrives on the Potash-fed lands of the Oakview Stud Farm. READ THIS OAKVIEW STUD FARM, Patumahoe, Auckland. “My experience Is that a dressing of l-2cwt. per acre is no use. 'B% to 4cwt. is the be3t quantity to put on and I am quite sure that if this dressing were used on the light pumice Boils of the Dominion, and especially in conjunction with phosphates, then these lands would improve out of all knowledge, and their value and carrying capacity would be greatly enhanced.” “I have got definitely better results from Potash than over from nitrogen, and, personally, if I had to take a definite''choice between the two I would take Potash every time.” “It is really a great pity that the benefits of Potash are not more generally known and better appreciated, for then I am sure we should see a greatly increased production in the farm lands of this Dominion." E. H. PIPE. 3/8/32. Manager. AND THIS LETTER 18th November, 1931. “This season has been so far the worst for growth that I have experienced in thirteen years, if we had had a good season the difference in grazing would probably have been more notice, able. \ "I have used potash for topdretjsing for the last two years and consider it very beneficial. Of course, unless grazing returns are kept, it is practically impossible to gauge the benefit derived from any one manure.'* (Signed) (Mr.) J. E.
