we want every farmer to useIt Beats all other Manures and gives wonderful results when used on It is also by far the best MANURE ON THE MARKET. If yoa once xise this Celebrated Manure you will use no other. Read what some «>f our local and well-known farmers say: Motueka, Jan. sth, 1915. Messrs Bisley Bros., and Co., Nelson. Dear Sirs, —It aSords 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 ; hut I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH MARKED SUCCESS from anv manures as I HAVE HAD THIS SEASON FROM YOUR BASIC PHOSPHATE, in spito of worse weather conditions than we have experienced for many years. I used a portion of your manme 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 dTy season and' general bad year for grass, I had from this very old pasture a very good crop, wh"e unmatured 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 came in a surprising manner althoaigh 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 cows 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 XY CROP.

I am so pleased -with my success -with thig 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 season will be about 5 tons. (Signed) W. W. Livesay Brightwater, Feb. 9th, 1915Messrs Bisley Bros, and Co. Nelson. Dear Sirs, —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 CLOVER 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 WTTH THE BASIC PHOSPHATE. The portion manured with the Basic Phosphate gTew •trongerr, taller, and theclover was bright green, whereas THE BASIC SLAG PORTION had a yellowish tinge, and 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 jpaddock was not topdressed the following year the result was even more noticeable, which proyea that BASIC PHOSPHATE IB A LASTING MANURE.

Riwaka, March 11th, 1915. Messrs Bisley Bro3. and Co. Nelson. Dear Sirs, —Tt affords me much pleasure to be able to advise you of my success -with, the Rockland Basic Phosphate manure which I purchased from, you last July. I used this manure on my GRAIN CROPS (OATS AND WHEAT) The paddock where this grain grew ii> 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 exceptionailv good. I HAVE TO PUT THIS SUCCESS DOWN TO YOUR BASIC PHOSPHATE. You can make use of this reference to help to make the manure known, as after my success I feel it io the best manure and the cheapest on the market. (Signed) Alex. Drummond.

Motueka, Jan. 14th, 1915. Messrs Bisley Bror\ and Co. Nelson. Dear Sirs, —I have great pleasure in advising you of the success I have had from the Rockland Basic Phosphate which I purchased from yon last July. I used the Majority on GRASS PADDOCKS, and I can confidently say that DURING THE TEN YEARS I HAVE HAD THIS PROPERTY I HAVE NEVER HAD ]>ALF THE GRASS I HAVE HAD THIS SEASON, I have stocked ihe ground as hoavily »s usual. The effect of your manure is even more surprising seeing that the season has been exceptionally dry and a general bad year fur grass. The BASIC PHOSPHATE FORCED the GROVvxrl OF CLOVER IN MY PADDOCK'S WHERE CtLO VER 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 jpleajsed if any farmer wanting further particulars will come along and see the results.
