FERTILISERS.

Where all the advantages of highly specialised Knowledge and the installation ol the most modern scientific methods are combined, the result is a commercial and industrial force whose importance to the economic welfare of the country cannot well he exaggerated. Such were the impressions of a visit to the Te Papapa works of the New Zealand Farmers’ Fertiliser Co., Ltd. Interest is first claimed by tjjie compact, but not crowded" arrangement of the works and attendant buildings, producing an appearance of efficiency which is extended on closer external and internal inspections. The visitor then notices that the works has a railway system of its own, which arranges the entrance of the raw material and the exit of the finished article on the Te Papapa stage of affairs. An attempt to technically, even adequately, describe the Farmers' Fertiliser works must prove to be palpably impossible to even the most .-elisufficient outsider, but to the veriest tyro it is apparent a surprising scale of magnitude the company has developed, an industry which is a triumph of science, commercial thoroughness and agricultural value. Manuring is not- an expense, it is a sound nivestment, paying dividends in pounds for every penny of outlay. The distributors of the Wellington Province for “Te Papapa” manures are the N.Z. Farmers’ Co-op. Distributing Co., Ltd., Feilding.
