MEssRs. T. P. sTovALL Co., of Augusta, nre
Agents for the sale of this Fertilizer. It's highly
recommended by some of our most prominent
skillfull and reliable citizens. Capt. JONATHAN ".
MILLER, of Beech Island, says:
"My opinion is that Hoyt's Super Phosphate is
superior to the Guano for Cotton, from the fact
that the Cotton anured with the Super Phosphate
grew of better and matured more rapidly"
And Mr.. J. A. BELL, of Stephens, Co., who
has been experimenting with tho Super Phosphate
of Lime, renders bis noed of praise in its favor of
Hoyts US follows:
STEPHENS, GA, Oct. 10th, 1859.
MEssRs. Tuos. p. STovALL & Co.-Yours Of
the 81 inst, asking my opinion of Hoyts Super
Phosphate, the mode Of application, &C., is to
hand have used it this year only, but from
the experiments have nude, think mos. fa-
yoraby Of it. No doubt it is n good Fertilizer |;
saperior to Guauo, from the fact that the hot sun
and drought effect tho crop less where it is ap-
Piled AMI in fact lcss than any other manure
have ever used. There is more regularity in tho
growth of the crop, O greater greenncss and more
lively appearance in all seasons, than is to be
seen in other mapurss. made al experiment
this spring in light grey sandy soil, with Cotton
the lund being capable of producing, with good
seasons, without manure, from 500 to 700 lbs per
acre it was applied in tho drill 200 lbs. por acre,
by opening deep shovel furrow, the Phosphate
then being sprinkled in that furrow, and bedded
in as usual with other manures. Also ut the same
time, in same way, and i'll the same kind Of land.
used at the rate Of 200 bushels Of the best sta
bie manure could procure The result from e"eh,
up to the 9Th inst, is as follows:-whore HUyts
p.:-: '....vas applied 1869 lbs. ff-acre !
u NJ. aaaA sfla ap1fsd ,oi per
a..e H.. >o!.!Sono best of my judgment, there
are some 200 or 800 lbs. per scro ON each, yet to
opon. But would prefer to give tho actual re.
suit, when it is done opening. 1 have slso used
it thi. fall on Turnps, at tue rate Of 800 lbs per
acre. aud finer prospect never had in my lie.
II you think prupcr to use this statement ~
testimonial III iavor Of the Phosphate, you are At
liberty to do so. And if there is anything that
have omitted to mention that you wish to know,
I will rhccrlully give it if YOU will call my aten-
ton to il.
And uuw to sirc still further evidence in its
favor aud tn show nly =" faith hy my works, you
NAV sci me down for two tons next spring You
r...s calculate ON sending large quantities to An
