Licensed to Sell STAMPS. SALONS DU COIFtURE EAST STREET. Mount Somers Lime. MR. JAMES AUSTIN, '■*■'■■ WINOHEOTKK, SAYS — The Lime I bought wa« used with Turnips, and I have the best crop of Hybrid and Swedes that 1 ever had, notwithsUnding the very bad season for that crop. I sowed the Lime with a Duncan Drill, anil had no difficulty mso doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. I am now using Lime m sowing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this ■eason. MR JOHN G3IGG, LONOBEACH, Says—The lime I used last year was only for rape m peat land and for fruit trees. For the latter the benefit was very great but for the rape all the crop was so superb that 1 could not see any difference. But there is no doubt of its value on peat soils and on cold clays. I shall take a larger quantity than I have , MMNKii MR G. T. SMITIf Nurseryman, Ashburton, Says—l am pleased to inform you that lam quite satisfied from experiments I made m liming land for fruit trees that grand: results follow, the fruit beinp; larger, more abundant, and the color r er fect; also the lime keeps m check the •lug and grub* For growing clover with irrigation the result is simply marvellous, the clover being of a luxuriant green. In short, I consider lime and irrigation go band m hand with perfect husbandry. He finishes by saying he intends to keep on wing Mount Somers lime from time to time. MR F. WILDING, i (For the Styx Apple Co.) Says—The lime used at the Styx Orchard had an excellent effect upon the soil. The trees bore well and were unusually free from insect pests of every kind. MR W. T. SMITH, Springbcrn, Says—He limed strips m two old grass paddocks which had been down to grass ten yean, and m both cases it renewed the pasture on these strips, a vigorous growth of clover and rye grass appearing m each strip, MR ANDREW MacFARLANE, Spbingbxjrn, Says—Helimedsome grassland eighteen months age this summer. He shut it up for hay, and m two cuttings took off four tons more gras^ per acre oS limed ground than the non-limed. MR JOHNSTON, Hak^teke, Says—He limed a piece ot a grass paddock which ha I been down four years, shut it up for hay this summer, and the limed ground by weight gave nearly three times as much grass as the »on-limed. MR HOOD """" Says—Ke limed 60 acres, leaving H acre m the middle unlimed,: the whole of the land being drilled m with turnips and superphosphate. By actual weight and measurement the l'med land gave 21 tons to the acre, unlimed 11 tons. Estimating turnips at 2s 6d per ton we have 52s 6d and 27s 6d an acre respectively. From these figures, if - you require 1000 tons ef turnips, it will require 100 acres of unlimed lan*l,rtnd it will cost £100 for labor and phosphate; whereas, if you lime the land, you get 1000 tons off 60 acres, and so save the labor and phos phate on 50 acres, thereby saving £50, without taking into consideration that you have the use of 50 acres for some other puipose, and that you have a large credit balance m the limed soil. . E.F.W. MR RANDALL, of Ashburton, Says—He limed a strip m a paddock at an outlay of £2 an acre, 18 months ago ; the remainder of the paddock he treated with artificial manures to the value of £3 an acre ; planted the whole with potatoes and the whole crop was about equal. This last Spring he put part of it m potatoes and part m mangels ; the potatoes on artificially manured land gave 8 ton 12 cwt per acre, potatoes on limed land 10 ton 19 cwt per acre. The mangels with artificial manures gave 38 tons to the acre, and on limed land 58 tons to the acre. Bfft: JOSEPH TICKER Says—Through liming he has grown from ten to twelve tons of potatoes on land which would not grow potatoes before. MR J. T. BURNET, or Kaiapoi, Says—By liming land to the extent of 1| ton of lime to the acre he has been able to grow one-third more potatoes of much superior quality on limed land. He has sent me two samples to verify his statement, which are on view at the New Zealand Cloching Factory. I have many other testimonials of a like character. MR ROBERT THEW, Peei Fokest, Says—He mixed lime with super phosphate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime and phosphate m the proportion of Ito 1. On thirty acres he nsed two buckets full of lime to one cwt of phosphate ; on another thirty acres he used phosphs>tealone- —m each case, 1£ cwt was used per acre." He says the largest turnips appeared to bo growing on the , land which had the moßt lime, although he was told w>t to mix the lima and phos phate, as the lime would liberate the ammonia from the phosphate* Finishes by saying he m so plea ed with the result hat he intends using lime again. pi, F.
