Dr.. E. NJ RoYALL, Christ Church Parish, writes:
Applied at the rate of $50 to 200 pounds per on
11th April on % acres blue clay land, good deal
worn from being planted In cotton from 1857 to 1857
with only one years rest during that time and not
withsanding the long continued cold and heavy ran
and gales during the spring and summer, about the
first Of September the crop this field was esiima
ted by some Of our best judges to promise yield Of
$50 TO 200 pounds fine Sea Island Cotton Lint to the
acre. Notwithstanding the ravages Of the caterpillar,
the first cotton picked was from the field on which
| MAPES' PHOSPHATE was used, and 1t has made
about 65 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 seventyfve 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, sandersville, Washington County
'My observation Is that MAPEs' sUPER-PHOs.
PHATE Is preventive against rust IN Cotton.
Has about doubled the Cotton and tre6led the Corn
Has done better than Peruvian Guano per pound"
]. W. SCOTT, of same section, reports:
sThat his crop manured with Peruvian Guano 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
hss seen used by his neighbors."
". q. SPARES, Eatonton, Ga, reports:
"On land about half covered with sedge, and
which bad not been cultivated in two years, when
the manure was put on, badly manured, crop would
Weld two pounds where the unmanured would y1el
| one"
"Obtafned 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"
". j. ANDERSON, Fort Valley, Ga, reports:
"aIAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE has doubled the
crop OF cotton In every reported and some re-
port II 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 es fine cotton as he has seen ths
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 Peruridn Gadno in his
neighborhood. Believes It to be the BEaT Manure
now in use"
E B. LuEs Llesville Anson County, n c., re-
ports:
"As compared with Peruvian Gulno and Baugh's
Super Phosphate the result decidedly in favor
| Of MAPES' SUPHERPHOSPHATE; attributed, be-
yond doubt to the fact that the ravages of the rust
we're not, by marked difference, go severe where it
was applied as where the other manures were
| JAMES MoMEEKN, Aston, s. c., reports:
"Used o tom Of Peruvian, and found the result but
| one half as compared with those from MAPES'
sUPER.PHOsPHATE Soil mostly sandy, with clay
subHoil. Marked difference in the size Of the bols,
In favor Of MAPES SUPERPHUSPHATE. On Cot
ton plants the increased growth uss about 100 per
cent
JOHN R. HAIR, Minis, 8. c.:
Cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma.
| tured at least two t0eeks earlier where MAPBS'
| SUPERPHOsPHATE was used as compared with
other Fertilizers applied. MAPES' bUPER-PHOS-
| PHATE produced 1u0 pounds per acre more Cotton
than Rhodes Super-Phosphate, and so pounds per
| acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same quan-
ty Of each $50 pounds, used to the acre. cultivated
| in the same manner. MAPES SUPER.PHOSPHATE
more than doubled the yield Of Cotton"
B. S. VENNNG, Christ Church Parish, 8. c., re-
pofts
Zone application, 200 pounds MAPES' SUPER.
| PHOSPHATE per acre, made the cotton grow to the
height Of six feet where it 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."
S. C. MEANS, Spnrtanburg, s. c., writes:
USED 240 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' sUPERPHOSPHATEp pays hand
| somely,"
Rev. W. A. MERRIwErHER, Vale orucis, near Co.
! lumbia 8. c., reports
"MAPEs SUPER-PHosPHATE has given perfect
satisfaction, and that it permanently improves the
soil Has no hesitation in saying it is the special
manure for the turnip and Irish potato
P. c. PENDLEToN, valdoston, Co., writes:
"MApES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE has exceeded my
most sanguine expectations. The effects of its use
on Corn, Peas and Garden Vegetables was most
marked. If it can be always kept up to the stan
dard it 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 iras truly as
tonishing. The manured rows yielded fully double
| the neighboring alternate rows"
