1t is an admitted fact that concentrated COM
mercal fertilizer of real excellence, is an essen
tial adjunct to successful farming in the Southern
and Middle States.
Il will be admitted that with the crude elc-
ments of fertility afforded by Natare, 1t is within
the scope of human ability, aided by capital, en-
terprse and SCIENCE to furnish concentrated
commercial fertilizer of real excellence.
II Is Of the highest Importance that such fer
tllizer should be- furnished ut the lowest possible
cost, In order that the outlay required may not
preclude Its general aud liberal application. 1t
Is also necessary to the general use of such IN
article that the character responsibility and Ia
cities of the producers should be such as to Ill
ford reasonable guarantee that the fertilizer
brought into marketmay be relied upon for pre-
sent and continued excellence.
Hts true that many farmers are deferred from
the use Of fertilizers other than Peruvian Guano,
by want of confidence In their continued relia-
bility, though convinced of their present value.
They adhere to Peruvian Guano, though Its price
be too high to Justify It's liberal use, and though
experience teaches them Its defects, which are
growth without corresponding yield; in It's ten
dency TO exhaustion; In Its Injurious effects IL
time OF severe drought, &C., all of which result
from the incorporation OF It's elements.

suggested, that, II Peruvian Guano had been used,
the failure would not at east have been so great 4
hence fertilizer possessing the highest value,
may be, and often h. hastily condemned, and Its
use retarded. to the dctrment Of the agricultural
public.
