Improvement in weight gains, fertility, milk production, survival of young, wool production, vigour, docility. Lameness in front legs of sheep very severe in the nonths Oct./Nov. l5-29 in the 199, since using your minerals no sign of lameness. Reduction in tetany, milk fever, scours, mastitis, worms, excessive appetite, calving or lambing difficulties. ~ (West Coast, South Australia) Used minerals on 3, ggg acres of cro~ last year, and my neighbour thought I was mad carting fertilizer 499 miles. All crops in the district were affected by a disease, but there wasn't a sign of it on the 3,999 acres seeded with minerals. My yields are easily the best in the district, and my barley all went malting grade. Crops grown with minerals seem to hang on a lot longer. The dung beetles came like magic. SALISBURY(South Australia) We were experiencing a very high percentage of "no take" when budding on recommenced chemical fertilizers. Now, after complete soil analysis and the subsequent application of "prescription" minerals, we have planted over half a million rose trees in the nursery this year and claim at least 95% "take" of budS1 ours is probably the biggest rose nursery in the Southern Hemisphere and supplies allover Australia.

"Identify potential market segments: Broad acres/Forestry significant responses can be aChieved from as little as 599kg/ba.for broad area crops (wheat, barley, disireable sunflowers, sorghum, field peas). Vegetable and Irrigated Crops application rates for vegetable and other irrigated crops are 2999 to 5999 kg/ba. The lower rate may need to be annuallt for a few years." 54
