pastures with "Rockland" Superphosphate gives, at a cost of a few pounds, increased winter and spring feed, worth hundreds of pounds sterling. It is also definitely established that autumn and early winter are the best times of the year for top-dressing. Top-dressed Pastures Have Double Official analytical tests of grasses and clovers show that pastures adequately top-dressed with "Rockland" Superphosphate have double the food value for stock compared with grass lands that are not top-dressed. Analysis showing Phosphate content of grasses and ' clovers from top-dressed and un-dressed pastures: /: I Nature of Herbage I Un-dressed Top-dressed / Grasses Clovers Amoeat «f Pkisplmtt 4.79% 3.96% 9.67% 8.02 As top-dressing also doublesthe volume of grass and ctovem, this means that a pasture, after top-dressing in the right season with fockland Superphosphate (not less than 2 cwt per acre), is increased 400 per cent, in stock-carrying capacity. Too much importance cannot be given to the foregoing as a means of : (a) counterbalancing any drop in the price of wool or mutton; (b) securing maximum returns from expensive land; (c) improving the carrying capacity of inferior land. The official tests also show that whilst "Rockland" Superphosphate gives good and highly profitable returns when applied even in late spring, the maximum results are secured when pastures are top-dressed in autumn and winter.
