MR JAMJS VUSTIN, Winchester, Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I have the best crop of Hybrid and Swedes that I ever had, not withstanding the very bad season for that ciop. I sowed the lime with a Duncan drill, and had no difficulty in so doing. vVhere any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime in sowing 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 aad 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 cxse one and a quarter hundredweight was used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing in the land which had the most lime, although he vas told not to mix the lime 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, g a y S —He ground the lime into a fine powder ai.d mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of about 2| cwt pei acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drill left on the ground, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and in about thirty-six j hours the turnip seeds were sprouted, and finishes by siying that, had it been a damp season lie believes the lime would have been a thorough success. P.S.—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. J3P To ensure delivery Orders should be sent e*rly. i *U E. F. WRIGHT. ASHBURTON RACING CLUB, AUTUMN MEETING, 1892.
