THE FERTILISERS ACT.
The Fertilisers Act does not altogether meet with the approbation of farmers in different parts of the Dominion. The Act though good in most respects requires, they contend, to be amended on the lines proposed by the Fanners' Union. The delegates at the Farmers' Union Conference at Auckland last week decided to request the Colonial Council to endeavour to get the government to amend the Act in the direction indicated. The principal alterations the Union desires are the doing away with all "equivalent?," the recognition of phosphoric acid soluble in a two per cent solution of citric acid, the auolicion of the unit values system as at present applied, and the ■attachment to the Act of a'form of invoice certificate which shall be universally adopted by all vendois of manures.
