Wk st Tamaki, 7th April, 1906. Messes Sharland <k Co., Ltd , Auckland, Dear Sirs, — I have pleasure in reporting on the use of your POTATO BLIGHT EXTERMINATOR. 1 used the preparation practically in, accordance with the directions on the package first of all steeping the potatoes in the liquid for 24 hours on the lines suggested in directions—afterwards placing in ths sun to thoroughly dry, prior to planting. I planted in the ordinary way with ths addition of a little lime in the drill—about 6cwt. to the acre. When the shoots showed about 2J to Sin. above the ground, I gave them a complete spraying in accordance with your directions. When they were about 12 inches high I sprayed again, or when any indication of the blight showed upon the stalks, ’lhe whole of my crop has turned out perfectly sound and satisfactory, although many of my neighbours who have nit used this piepa.jtion have •lost the whole of their crops; but those who used your preparation according to the proper directions, have saved their crops with good results. 1 am sat shod that this preparation is an exterminator of the blight, and at the same time it increa es thejyield of the potatoes to a considerable extent, (t is noticeable especially in regard to the improved flavour of the potatoes. Previous to this preparafion having been brought before my notice 1 had used the Bordeaux Mixture, but the resul s were vary unsatisfactory. I have also used your POTATO BLIGHT EXTER--dINATOB for blight in cauliflower, cabbage and turnips and have had splendid re suits. Yours faithfully, (Signed) J. PILKINGTON,
