DR.. E. Il. ROYAL, Christ Church Parish, writes:
Applied OF the of $50 to 200 pounds per acre on
l1th APRIL on % acres blue clny land, good deal
worn from being planted in cotton from 1857 10 1867
with only one years rest during that time, and not
wthstauding the long continued cold and heavy rain,
and gales during the spring and summer, about the
first CT september the crop on this field was esuua-
ted by some ofcur best judges to promise yield OF
lSO to 2OO pounds fine Sea Island Cotton Lint to- the
acre Notwithstanding the ravages of the caterpillar,
the hrst cotton picked was from the field on which
MAPES' PHOSPHATE Was used, and it has made
about G5 pounds to the acre, while no other man.
ured land made over As pounds. Has used MAPES
PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden
with satisfactory results.
THOMAS s. SALTER, Washington County, Ga, re-
ports that seventy-ve pounds per acre on old land
increased both the Cotton and the Corn three-fod.
Considers it far more economical than Peruvian
Guano.
DR.. E. PARSONS, sandersv1lle, Washington County
Ga, says:
'My observation is that MAPEs' sUPER-PHos-
PHATE Is preventive against rust in Cotton
Has about doubled the Cotton and rebled the Corn
Has done better than Peruvian Guano per pound"
J: W. SCOTT. Of same section, reports:
"That his crop manured with Peruvian Gunno Was
far more effected by drought and excessive rains
than where MAPES' sUPER-PHOsPHATE was used.
Shall use MAPES' In preference to any fertilizer he
has seen used by his neighbors."
W. q. SPARKS, Eatonton, Ga, reports:
"On land about half covered with eedge, and
which had not been cultivated In two years, when
the manure was put on, badly manured, crop would
yield two pounds where the unmanured would Yell
one."
B. B. HAMILTON, Americus, Ga, reports:
"Obtained the most satisfactory results from
MAPEs' sCPER,pHosPHATE, applying it as top
dressing. Considered to have had the best garden
this year in Southwestern Georgia"
W. j. ANDERSON, Fort Valley, Ga, reports:
"MAPEs' sUPER-PHOsPHATE hiss doubled the
crop of cotton In every case reported, and some re-
port it has more than doubled their crop. On wheat
and oats the results are very satisfactory"
D. A. WARNocK, Beach Branch, S. c., reports:
ION land which always rusted cotton, increased
the crop twofold % fine cotton as he has this
year. Prevented rust -Four rows unmanured rust
PHOSPHATE was tried on did we'll Cotton stood
the cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green,
and growed finely; has beat Peruvian Gudno in his
neighborhood. Believes It to be the BEST Manure
now in USE"
E. R. LILIES, Iilesville, Anson County, N. c., re-
ports:
GAS compared with Peruvian Guano and Baugh's
Super Phosphate the result was decidedly in favor
Of MAPES' SUPHER-PHOSPHATE; attributed, be-
yond doubt to the fact that the ravages of the rust
were not, by marked difference, SO severe where ii
was applied as where the other manures were"
JAMES McMEEKn, Alston, 8. c., reports:
"Used q ton Of Peruvian and found the result but
one half as compared with those from MAPEs'
SUpER.PHOSPHATE Soil mostly sandy, with clay
subsoil. Marked difference in the size of the bos,
in favor of MAPES SUPER-PHUSPHATE On Cot
ton plants the increased growth was about 100 per
cent"
JOIN R. HAm, Mims S. c.:
"Cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma.
tured at least tpo Ueeks earlier where MAPES
SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used as compared with
other Fertilizers applied. MAPES' SUPER-PHOS.
PHATE produced 1U0 pounds per acre more Cotton
than Rhodes Super-Phosphate, and 80 pounds per
acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same guam.
hy Of each. 150 pounds used to the acre cultivated
in the same manner. MAPES' 'SCPER-PHOSPHATE
more than doubled the yield Of Cotton"
R. 5. yENNISo, Christ Church Parrish, S. c., re-
ports:
PHOSPHATE per acre, made the cotton grow to the
height of six feet where 1t grew only two feet the
year before. Considers MAPES' sUPER-PHos-
PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT
TON, and would safely recommend it to all plant
ers."
8. C. MEANS, spartanburg, s. c., writes:
USED A0 pounds per acre, applied May 18th. Can
safely say never saw more vigorous growth impart
ed to cotton from the use of any manure. Satisfied
the use OF MAPEs' 'SUPER-PHOSPHATEpa pays hand
somelr,''
Rev. ". a. MERR1wETHER, Yalle Crucis, near Co.
lumbia S. c., reports:
"MAPEs sUIER-PHosPHATE has given perfect
satisfaction, and that 1t permanently improves the
soil Has no hesitation in saying It is the special
manure for the turnip and Irish potato"
P. G. PENDLEToS, Valdoston, Ga writes:
sMAPES SUPER R-PHOSPHATE has exceeded my
most sanguine expectations The effects of its use
on Corn, Peas and Garden Vegetables was most
marked. If 1t can be always kept up to the stan.
dard 1t must take the preference Of all fertilizers In
USE"
II. B. HUNTER Quitman, Ga, reports:
applied at the rate Of $50 pounds per acre upon
every alternate four rows The result tods truly as
tonishing. The manured rows yielded fully double
the neighboring alternate rows"
