WRIGHT, Dfar Sir, —rl put five tons of Lime screenings on six acres of grass land after it was ploughed, and t can see to an inch -where the Lime was put on, and at the time the Lime was being spread the wind blew the fine dust over the adjoining land, and on this, as well as the properly limed land, there is a good crop, while on the non-limed there is not a single turnip. - ■■ Yours Truly, DENNIS McKENDRY. . ■ Valetta, February Bth, 1890. MR E. F. WRIGHT, /-. * Dear Sir, —In answer to enkuiries re 6 acres limed with 6 tons, Lime,l am very well satisfied with result. In spite of heavy winds, which blew! a lot of it away shortly after I put it On, and although there is not much! in the wheat, the grass, which was sown down at rolling, shows a very marked difference against rthat which was not.limed,, both in the growth and the thickness, and it is my intention to do some more this autumn. [ Yours Truly, JOHN BOYLE. I Longbeach, March Uth, 1890. MR E. F. WRIGHT, ; Dear Sir, —For two years now I have carried on experiments in; liming the land for fruit trees, and I am thoroughly satisfied with the results—• making the trees healthier the fruit larger and keeping the blight in check.. ! Yours Truly, E. STANDISH. Ashburton,. March Ist, 1890. MR E. F. WRIGHT, Sir,—Having seen lime used largely in England, I was induced to; experiment here, which I did on some potatoes, with the result that I got the' best crop I have had for years and of very superior quality. Yours Truly, < G. WORNER. Mount Somers, May 7th, 1890. E. F. WRIGHT, ESQ., Dear Sib^—J[ thought the' virtues of lime as a manure here so gener-, ally acknowledged as to render testimonials unnecessary. However, for the; 1 information of the few who may be sceptical, I may state that I have last season limed about 20 acres of lea land for turnips; and it is difficult to find a > single turnip on the land not limed, while the limed portion might fairly be; called half a crop, owing to the trying season, and I estimate that 25 per cent; of the lime was blown away by the nor'-westera last spring. I also used lime; on potato land, and the crop is turning out excellent, one monster turning the; scale at 31ba 3oza. On a small patch about one acre (in the middle of a large, paddock) which I limed the season before last, and which has been sown with; oats both season, the difference compared with the. adjoining crop was, if [ possible, more marked this season than the., previous' ones when the difference^ was estimated at 12-to 15 bushels, and lam looking forward to a beneficial effectl being visible on the grass. Trusting you .will be, able to supply the bal ance of the 100 tons ordered while the: weather is fine, j '■ ■ , 'I Remain Yours Truly, < \ JOHN HOOD. ! Woodside, April 29th, 1890. ; : MRE F.WRIGHT, Sir, —In reply to yours, dated the 22nd, I have used your lime"for three different purposes, first for top dressing young grass, and found itto| answer very well; second for oats. I think there will be from 10 to 12 bushels' per acre more on the part limed than where there is no lime. Third for potatoes,and they have grown very well. I think lime one of the best manures used. - v ; G. LAMBIE 1 . Longbeach, May 17th, f 1890. Mil E. F. WRIGHT, . . , Dear Sir, —I am very satisfied with the result of the Lime ori the ground I had in potatoes. The crop was much better this year, when it waa potatoes after potatoes, than it was the previous year, when it was potatoes after grass, and the quality much superior. : Yours Truly,' HUGH CULLEN. Ashburton Forks, May 17th, 1890. Dear Sir.—l am pleased to say that the lime I applied to my pota-f toes this last year has given me every satisfaction owing to the very dry weather. There is no material increase, but the quality is very superior \ they being sO floury that my wife bakes them as they fall to pieces when boiled. Yours Truly, ISAAC SARGENT. Mount Somers, May 23, 1890. E. F. WRIGHT, Esq., Sir, —I have tried for some years to grow potatoes at Mount Somers, but was not successful till two years ago, when I tried a small experiment with lime on potatoes, and was so satisfied with the result that I limed |- of an acre last winter,which I planted in the spring with potatoes, with the result that I have at the rate of 6 tons per acre, which is highly satisfactory. Yours Truly, . ROBERT PATTON. Wakanui, May 20th, 1890. E. F. WRIGHT. Esq., Dear Sir, —I have pleasure in informing you that the most satisfac tory results have been obtained frou» the use of lime supplied by you last spring. The lime was applied as a top dressing on land intended fo roots at the rate of 2 tons per acre on potatoes and carrots, arid one lon on mangold land. The land had been well tilled previous to laying on the lime, and after spreading was well harrowed into the soil. Notwithstanding the fact that the season wasmose unfavorable for all root crops, I have" had a very fair crop; more especially in the case of potatoes and carrots, which, in quality, are the best I have grown since coming to the country. I am satisfied that any farmer having a little spare cash could not find a better investment for it than -giving his paddock a dressing with lime. I intend this season to try the effect on grass land. and. also on turnips. I Remain Yours Sincerely, GEO. W. LEADLEY. Styx Apple Company, : Christchurch, May 24th, 1890. E.F. WRIGHT, Esq., Mount Somers, Dear Sir, —I have in stating that our. Orchard has derived marked benefit from .the dressing of Mount Somers Lime, /which it received last year. I shall require some more for a fresh plautation which we are mak ing in the course of the winter. V ' Yours faithfully, - - ' _ „ " F. WILDING, Managing Director. ' ■ Mount Somers, May 7th, 1890. : MR WRIGHT, t i Sir, —I could not get anything to grow on my bit of ground,so I was determined to try you lime last winter^ and I gave it a good dose.' I- can now grow plenty of vegetables of all kinds. 5 ' I planted a piece of ground 30ft by 40ft with potatoes and I got 6 bags of round potatoes out of it, and, strange to say tlhere was not a weed of any sort to be seen. I planted another piece of gaound which was not limed with potatoes and they were not worth digging and the ground full of weeds and sorrel, so I recommend your lime highly for growing good crops. — -- - - Yours truly, ROBERT JONES. Ashburton Racing Club, May 31st, 1890, E. F. WRIGHT, Esq., Dear Sir, —I am directed by my Committee to inform you of the result of the experimental use of ; your agricultural lime on the grass of the ABhburton Racecourse.
