IWount Somers lime KILLS THE DIAMOND-B VCK MOTH. The Diaslo>d-Baok Moth.—Recently, says the " Manchester Guardian," Mr M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series \ oi experiments m the Alnwick district; for the purpose of discovering the beet preventive of the ravages of the destruc tive diamond-back moth. As the result I of his observations he has been led to think that a mixture of soot and lime applied m the proportion of two bushels of lime and six of soot to the acre will bt found to be the most effective and cheapest dressing. Not only does the mixture seem to kill the caterpillar, bul it is also an excellent fertiliser. MR JAMES AUSTIN, Winchester S a y g __The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I have the best crop oi Hybrid and Swedes that I ever had, notwithstanding the very bad season foi that crop. I sowed the lime withi Duncan drill, and had no difficulty m s( doing. Where any unusual quantity o Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are mucl lsrger than elsewhere. lam now usi^ Lime m sawing wheat, hoping thereby t< avoid the ravages of the grub, which pesi is very I latructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with buperphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime and phosphate m thi proportion of one to one. On thirt; acres he used two buckets full of lime t< one hundredweight of phosphate; oi another thirty acres he used phosphat alone—in each case one and a quarte hundredweight rras used per acre. H says the largest turnips appeared to b growing m the land which had the mos lime, although he was told not I mix the lime and phosphate, as the lira would liberate the ammonia from th phosphate. Finishes by saying he is s pleased with the result that he intend using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, South Rakaia, Says—He s-rround the lime into a fin powder and mixed the turnip seed wit it and sowed with an ordinary grain dri at the rate of 2| cwt per acre. In abou fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe which the coulter of the drill left on th ground, was quite moist with the lira dissolving, and m about thirty-six hour the turnip seeds were sprouted. H finishes by saying that had it been damp season he believes the lime woul have been a thorough success. p,S,—Damping the lime with a Httl water will give a dry powder. |j^ To ensure delivery Orders shor'l to sent early.
