Mount Kouiers JMme KILLS TFIE DIAMOND-B VCK MOTH. The Diamom>-Back Moth.—Recently, says the "Manchester Guardian," Mr M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series <»f experiments in the Alnwick district,' for the purpose of discovering the beet preventive cf the ravages of the destruc tive diamond-back moth. As the result of his observations he has been led to think that a mixture of Boot and lime applied in the proportion of two bushels of linii and six of soot to the acre wili be found to bo the most effective and , oheapebt dressing. Not only does the mixture seem to kill the caterpillar, but it is also an excellent fertiliser. MR JAMES AUSTTN, Winchester, Says—The Lime I bought was used ■with Turnip*, 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 difficulty in so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much krger than elsewhere. lam now usir,g Lime in sawing wheat, hoping thereby to. avoid the ravages of the.grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest, Says—He.mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime and phosphate in the proportion of one to one. On thirty; acres he used two buckets full of lime to one hundredweight of phosphate; on. another thirty acres he used phosphate. alone—in each case one and' a quarter; bundled weight vras used per acre! He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing in the land which had the most lime, although he was told not to mix the Jime and phosphate, as the. lime would liberate the ammonia from the : phosphate. Finishes by saying he is so pleased with the result that he. intends. using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, South Rakaia, Says—He ground the lime into a fine powder and mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill '■at the rate of 2h cwfc per acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe, I which the conker of the drill left on the ■ around, was quite moist with the lima* dissolving, and in about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. .He' finishes by saying that had it been a IcUmp season he believes the lime would have been a thorough success* • '■ P.S —Damping the lime with a little' valer will give a dry powder. %3» s>o ensure delivery Orders shorVi Vo sent early.
