Dear Sir r — Re Clarke's Oarbolized Wheat Prorectdr. f have used the above dressing for the past three seasons on an average sowing of 1500 acres of wheat and oats, and h*ve always found that it gives every satisfaction. It is also mixed with less la'oor ar.d germinates a week eoone than when dressed with blucstone. M. Stitt. I have used your Wheat Protector, also Bluestone both on the same paddock, and am much pleased with your Protector as a much better preventive of smut than Blnestone. James McLean, Cairnbrae. t have much pleasure in testifying to /jti as agents in Canterbury for Clarke's i Carbolized Wheat Protector, that I used same last season as a dressing for Wheat, | Oats, and Barley, with the most satisfac. Tory results. The seed dr«ssed 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 Protector daring the coming season. Georsk Grant, Farmer, Southforidge. I am pleased to Inform yoa that the Clarke's Wheat Protector I obtained irom you last season has proved successful, being superior to blnestone in every way. The latter dressing only gave 5 bushels per acre, whereas the Wheat Protector gave 18 bushels. It is a preventive against Samfc and the small birds nuisance, and I shall continue to use it,—Yours sincerely, Jas. Brown, Horarata. . I have much pleaanre In stating that I used Clarke's Carbollzed Wheat Protector on Tuscan Seed Wheat sown on my him near Southbridge; 1| acres with Bloeetone, 23 acres with Clarke's Wheat Protector, with the following results, via:—Tha6 dressed with the Carbolized Protector seemed to come away much quicker than that dressed with Blueetone, and op to reaping time was a better crop, and would undoubtedly yield more bashels to the acre. In sowing grain of any time this season I should use Clarke's Protector in preference to any other dressing. William Harris, Farmer, Southbridge. F.
