We want every farmer to use— Phosphae It Beats all otber Manures and gives wonderful results when used on Grain Crops Root Crops OrcharJs W It is also by far tbe best Top Dressing MASQE ON THE MARKET. If yoa once use this Celebrated Manure you will use no other. Read what some ef our local and well-known farmers say : Atotueka, Jan, sth, 1915. Messrs Bisley Bros., and Co., Nelson. Dear Sirs,—lt affords me much pleasure to be able to advise you of the -"■ eat success I have from, the 5 tons oi Rockland Basic Phosphate Manure which I purchased from you a few months ago. For many years I have been a large user of imported Superphosphates, Basic slag and various brands of New Zealand Freezing Companies' mixtures ; but I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH MARKED SUCCESS from any manures as I HAVE HAD THIS SEASON FROM YOUR HA SIC PHOSPHATE, in spate of worse weather conditions than we have experienced for many years. I used a portion of your macule to TOP DRESS some of my GRASS LAND and the balance I used on oats. One paddock I manured and shut up for hay, and despite the dry season and general bad year for grass, I had from this very old pasture a very good crop, unmanured paddocks shut up gave poor results. I manured one paddock on which I run my cows regularly and left the others. The PADDOCK WHICH WAS MANURED I SHOULD THINK PRODUCES ABOUT 25 PER CENT. MORE FEED THAN ANY OF THE UNMANURED PADDOCKS. Clovers cam© in a surprising manner although clover had not shown to any extent for some years. As well as this, THE GRASS SEEMED TO GROW FRESHER AND TO CONTAIN MORE NOURISHMENT, as the cow s milked better and' did'. better when on the manured pasture. I had sufficient manure to cover half my oat crop and for the remainder I used a Freezing Company's special grain manure. THE OATS ON WHICH I USED THE BASIC PHOSPHATE LEFT THE OTHER OATS FAR BEHIND, AND TO SUCH A MARKED EXTENT THAT PEOPLE ASKED ME WHAT I HAD DONE TO HALF llf CROP.

I am so pleased with my success with this manure that I think every farmer should know of its qualities, and to see this end, I would be pleased to give every farmer further particulars and show the actual results. I can confidently recommend Rockland. Basic Phosphate, and my order for the coming seasori will be about 5 tons. (Signed) W."W. Livesay

Brightwater, Feb. 9th, 1915. Messrs Bisley Bros, and Co. Nelson. Dear Sire, —We have to advice you of our success with Rockland Basic Phosphate Manure. We purchased two tons from you, and although late in the season, applied a (portion of "it to one half of our CLQVER PADDOCK. The other half of this paddock we topdressed with Basic Slag. The difference between the two manures was most marked, and WE HAD A REALLY WONDERFUL RESULT WITH THE BASIC PHOSPHATE. The portion manured with the Basic Phosphate grew itronger, taller, and' theclover was bright green, wher-eas THE BASIC SLAG PORTION had a yellowish tinge, wid WAS DECIDEDLY INFERIOR. We are so-pleased with our success with this manure that" we will use laTge quantities during the coming season. (Signed) NEWMAN BROS. Although^the . ipaddock was not topdressed the following year 'the result was even more noticeable, which proves that BASIC PHOSPHATE IS A LASTING MANURE.

Riwaka, March 11th, 1915. Messrs Bisley Bros, and Co. Nelson.' Dear Sirs, —It affords roe much pleasure to be able to advise you of my success with the Rockland Basic Phosphate manure which , t purchased from you last July. ! I used this manure on my GRAIN CROPS (OATS AND WHEAT) The paddock where this grain grew it, the poorest piece of land on my property and DURING THE FORTY YEARS I HAVE HAD THIS PLACE I HAVE NEVER HAD A CROP SO GOOD BY HALF. It is the opinion of the Farmers in this neighbourhood that my oat crop is the best in the district, and my wheat crop is exceptionally good. I HAVE TO PUT THIS SUCCESS DOWN TO YpUR BASIC PHOSPHATE. You cau make use of this reference to help to make the manure known, as after my success I feel it is the best manure and the cheapest on the market. , (Signed) Alex. DTumimond Motueka, Jan. 14th. 1915 Messrs Bisley Brocv and Co. Neison. Dear S:rs, —I have great pleasure uadvising you of the success I have had from the Rockland Basic Phosphate which I purchased from you iasi July I used the Majority on GRASS PAD DOCKS, and I can confidently say r-ha-l DURING THE TEN YEARS I HAVE HAD THIS PROPERTY I HAVE NEVER HAD HALF THE GRASS 1 HAVE HAD THIS SEASON, a.-.iough I have stocked: the ground as hoavily as usual. The effect ot your manure is even more surprising seeing that the sea son has been exceptionally dry and a general bad'year fur gTass. The BASIC PHOSPHATE FORCED the GROv, .a OF CLOVER IN MY PADDOCKS WHERE CLOVER HAD NOT SHOWN FOR YEARS. I am so satisfied with the manure that I will largely increase my order for the coming season. I will be pleased if any farmer wanting further particulars will com© along and see the results. (Signed) L. Francois, We have large shipments arriving in July, August and September.
