JAMES AUSTIN, Winchester, SAYS — The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I have the best crop of Hybrid and Swedes that I ever had, notwithstanding the very bad season for that crop. I sowed the Lime with a Duncan Drill, and had no iiftiealty 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 wheac, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season, MR JOHN GXIGG, LONGBEACH, Says—The lime I used last yecir 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 pent soils and on cold clays. I shall take a larger quantity than I have ordered. MR G. T. SMITH, Nurseryman, Ashburton, Says—l am pleased to inform you that lam quite satisfied from experiments I made m liming land for fruic trees that grand results follow, the fruit being larger, more abundant, and the. color per fect ; also the lime keeps m check the slug 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 hand In hand with perfect husbandry. He finishes by saying he intends to keep on using Mount Somers lime from time to time. MR F. WILDING, (For the Styx Apple Co.) Says--The lime used at the Styx Orchard had an excellent effect upon the soil. The tree 3 bore well and were unusually free from insect pests of every kiucl. MR W. T. SMITH, SriUNomjitN, Says~~He limed strips m two old grass paddocks which had been down to grass fan years, 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, Sprtngburn, Says—Helimedsomegrassland eighteen months age this summer. He shut it up for hay, and m two cuttings took off four tons mere grass per acre off limed ground than the non-limed. MR JOHNSTON, \ Haka*ersj, Says—He limed a. piece ot a grass paddock which had been down four years, shut it up for hay this summer, and the limed ground by weight gave nearly three tfmes as much grass as the non-limed. MR HOOD Says—He limed 60 acres, leaving 1£ acre m the middle unlimed, the whole ot the land being drilled m with turnips and superphosphate. By actual weight and measurement the limed land gave 21 tons to the acre, unlimed 31 tons. Estimating turnips at 2s 6d per ton we have 52s 6d and 27s 6d an aore respectively. : From these figures, if you require 1000 tons of turnips, it will require; 100 acres of unlimed land, and it will cost i'loo 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 60 acres, thereby saving £50, without taking into consideration that you have the use of 50 acres for some other puipo.se, and that you have a large credit balance m the limed soil. ' .■ . • E.«\w, : MR RAN DAW* O*' AsHBUKTON, 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. MR JOSEPH TUCKER Says—Through, Jiming he has grown from ten to twelve tons of potatoes on land which would wot grow potatoes before. MR J- T. BURNET, ut KAi.troj, 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 THtiW, Pbei, Foiikst, Says—He mixed lime with super phosphate to dry the phosphate. On fifty he used lime and phosphate m the proportion of Ito 1. On thirty acres he used two buckets full of lime to one cwt of phosphate ; on another thirty acres he u,sed phosphate alone—in each case, 1j- cwt \y;is visod pur nurc. Ho aayu tho largest iurnips appeared to be growing on "the laud which had the most lime, although he was told not to mix the lime and phos phate, as the lime would liberate the , ammonia from the phosphate. Finishes by paying he is so, pleased with the result ha* he intenda using lime again, |E* F. WRIGHT, 5§232 SJou.ijt Somera^
