“As it is we are not able to use so many of your potatoes on dc- oount of our own supplies but with the additional preference in the two summer months we could leave our market wide open to your growers in August, September and October.

Pasture Improvement

A lecture by J. E. McIntyre, Moncioll, N. B., on the subject "Posture Improvemeht with Fer- tilizers," was illustrated with lan- tern slldes to bring out salient points.

Other advantages derived from this method of pasture improve- ment wcrc: Earlier grazing by one week to ten days; a. longer gratin! season by four to five weeks in the late summer; very littic if any meal required while cows sre on pasture; a great improvement in the general health of animals, especially in the growth of younger stock, due to the presence of more minerals.
