Mr. Gilmour writes to the- Now Zealand Co. as follows: "Tho accompanying photograph was taken 'at (ho timo I cut my crop of wheat last harvest. It was grown with 1 cwt. of 'Eclipse.' Grain Fertiliser to the ncro, and threshed out 60 bushels to the aero over 75 acres. "Tho crop was grown on land where previously I had not obtained good crops of whent ; I am, therefore, more than satisfied with my experionco of 'Eclipse' Fertiliser, and you oail make what use .you liko of this photograph and lettor." Prom tho above will bo seen : 1. That by the expenditure of a few shillings per ncro on tho pura good fertilizer tho yield of grain enn bo increased by many bushols por acre. The Government having guaranteed a minimum price for next season's wheat crop, tho wisdom'of raising as big a crop as possiblo is apparent. ... 2. Tho importance of selecting tho, most reliable fortilizcr on the market.

"Eclipse" in 1914-15 was 1,200. „ „ . „ 1918-19 „ 3,650. „ „ .'„.', 1919-20' „ 5,400.
