my observation is that MAPES' SUPER-PHOS-
PHATE is preventive against rust in Cotton.
Has about doubled the Cotton aud treDled the Corn.

w. II. SPARKS, tat5nton, Gu, reports:
"Un land about halt covered with eedge, and
which had not been cultivated in two years, when

yield two pounds where the unmanured would yiel |
one,"
