IMPORTANT TESTIMONIALS. Dear Sir, —Ra Clarke's Oarbolked Wheat Protector. I hare nsed the above dressing for the pasfc three seasons on an average sowing of 1900 acres of wheat and oats, and have always found that it gives every s&ttsfactlon. It Is also mixed with less labor and germinates a week sooner than when dretsed with blaestone. M. Stow. I have tised your Wheat Protector, also Blaestone both on the same paddock, and am much pleased with your Protector a3 a mtsch better preventive of sornt than Blaestone. Jambs MoLean, Cairnbrae. I have mnch pleasore m testifying to yoa as agents In Canterbury far Clarke's Oarbollzed Wheat Protector, that I used same last season as a drea Ing for Wheat. Oats, ard Barley, with the most sat!<iao< 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 Blaestone. I Intend again to nse Clarke's Protector daring the conalng season. Gbobgb Gbant, Farmer, Southbridge. - lam pleased to inform yon that the i Clarke's Wheat Protector I obtained from you last season has proved successful, being superior to blaestone m every way. j The latter dressing only gave 5 bushels per acre, whereas the Wheat Protector gave 18 bushels. Ib Is a preventive against Smut and the small birds nuiaance, and I shall continue to use it.—Yours sincerely, Jas. Brown, Horarata. I have much pleasure m staling that I used Clarke's Carbollzed Wheat Protector on Tuscan Seed Wheat sown on my f%i m near Southbridge; H acres with Blnestone, 23 acres with Clarke's Wheat Protector, with the following results, viz:—That dressed with the Carbolized Protector seemed to come away much quicker than that dressed with Blueatone, and up to reaping time was a better crop, and would undoubtedly yield more bushels to the acre. In sowing jyrain of any time this season I should nse Clarke's Protector m preference to any other dressing. William Harbis Farmer, Souihbridge. I have used D. Clarke's Car! «Msed Wheat Protector on Se-d Barley on Mr William Anderson's Farm, Lakeside. I noticed the seed dres-ed with Clarke's Protector germinated mnch sooner than the seed drer-sed wi h B'uestone, and the birds did not pull the plant so much wl en dressed with tbe Carbolizad Pro'ector as that done with Blues'one. James Bbntley I wifh to testify to the efficient effect of Clarke's Wheat Protector. I had never had euch clean wheat before, and out of eleven thousand bushels I have not seen one smutted head I also reckon that I saved | bushel per acre m seed. —Yours tru'y, James Guvselc, Tinwald.
