D. CLARKE'S OARBOLISED WHEAT PROTECTOR ( Name and Label Registered nrder Trade Marks Act, Ho 13,796 and 158,143) Has been used < 66 YEARS WITH nNDEVIATINGt j SUCCESS. j IMPORTANT TESTIMONIALS. Dear Sir, —Re Clarke's Oarbolized Wheat Protector. I have used the above ! dressing for the past three seasons on an average sowing of 1500 acres of wheat and oats, and have always found that It gives every satisfaction. It Is also mixed with less labot and germinates a week sooner than when dressed with blaestone. M. Stiot. I have used your Wheat Protector, also Blnestone both on the same paddock, and am much pleased with your Protector as a much better preventive of smut than Bluestone. James McLean, Cairnbrae. t have much pleasure in testifying to you as agents in Canterbury for Clarke's Oarbolized Wheat Protector, that I used same last season as a dressing for Wheat, Oats, and Barley, with the most satisfac tory results. The seed dressed with Clarke's Wheat Protector germinated much sooner, and the beard appeared more strong and healthy than that on which I used Bluest one. I Intend again to use Clarke's Protectoe during the coming season. George Grant, Farmer, Southbridge. I am pleased to inform you lhat the Clarke's Wheat Protector I obtained from you last season has proved successful, being superior to bluestone in every way. The latter drawing only gave 6 bushels per acre, whereas the Wheat Protector gave J8 bushels. It is a preventive against Smut and the small birds nuisance, and I shall continue to us© it.—Yours sincerely, Jas. Brown, Horarata. I have moch pleasure In stating that I used Clarke's CarbnHzed Wheat Protector on Tuscan Seed Wheat sown on my him near Southbridge: 1| ncrpß wl!h Blueetone, 23 acres with Clarke's Wheat Protector, with the following results, viz:—-That dressed with the Carbolizad Protector i seemed 'o come away much quicker than that dressed with Bluestone, and up to reaping time was a better crop, and would undoubtedly yield more bushels to the acre. In sowing grain of any time this seapf.n I should use Clarke's Protector in preference to any other dressing William Barbis, Farmer, Southbridge. I have used D. Ciarke's CarlV.ised Wheat Protector on Sefd Barley on Mr William Anderson's Farm, Lakeside. I noticed the seed dressed'with Clarke's Protec'or geiminated much sooner than the seed drehsed wMrß'.ueßtdrie, and the birds did tr>fc pull the plant so mnch when dressed with the Carbolized Protector as that done with Bluestone. James Bentlby, I wfc-h to testify to the efficient effect of Clarke's Wheat Protector. I had never haa such clean wheat before, and out cf eleven thousand bushels I have not seen one smutted head I also reckon that I saved |- bushel per acre in seed. -Yours truly, James Guisell, Tinwald.
