DIR. E n. RoYALI. Christ Church Parish, writes:
Applied at the rate Of 160 to 200 pounds per acre OF
11th April on AZ acres blue clay land, good de :.
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 rain,
and gales during the spring and summer, about the
first Of September the crop ON this eldwas esttna-
ted by some Of our best judges to promise yield OF
1870 to 200 pounds fine Sea Island Cotton Lint to the
acre Notwithstanding the ravages ofthe caterpillar,
the first cotton picked was from the field on which
MAPES' PHOSPHATE was used, and It has made
about 65 pounds to the acre, while no other man.
ured land mado over 45 pounds. Has used MAPR5l
PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden
with satisfactory results.
THOMAS s. sAIrER, Washington County,. Ga, re-
ports that seventyfve pounds per acre on old land
Increased both the Cotton and tho Corn three-fold
Considers 1t far more economical than Peruvian
Gusno.
Dr.. E PARSONS, sandersvllle, Washington County
Ga, says:
.tMy observation Is that MAPEs' SUPER -PHos-
PHATE Is o preventive against rust N Cotton.
Has about doubled the Cotton and trebled the Corn.
Has done better than Peruvian GuAno per pound"
j. W. SoorT. Of same section, reports:
'eThat his crop manured with Peruvian Guano was
fapmore effected by drought and excessive rains
than where MAPES sUPERPHOSPHATE was used.
Shall use MAPES In preference to any fertilizer be
has seen used by his neighbors."
W. q. SPARES, Eatonton, Ga. reports:
"On land about half covered with sedge, and
which had not been cultivated In two years, when
the manure Wb5 put Ou5 pduly mbuVItOb CGOp WOulu
yield two pounds where the unmanured would ytel
ole."
B. B. HAMILTON Americas, Ga, reports:
"Obtained the most satisfactory results from
MAPES' SUPER-PHO5PHATE, applying it as q top
dressing. Considered to have had the best garden
this year In southwestern Georgia."
W. j. ANDERSON, Fort Valley, Ga, reports:
"MAPES' sUpER-PaOSPHATE has doubled the
port It has more than doubled their crop. On wheat
and oats the results are very satisfactory"
D. a. WARsocK. Beach Branch s. c., reports:
ION land which always rusted cotton, increased
the crop twofod; es fine cotton as he has seen this
year. Prevented rust -Four rows unmsnured rust
ed in August. Everything the MAPES SUPER
PHOSPHATE was tried On did well. Cotton stood
the cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green,
and growed finely; has beat Peruvidn Guano In his
neighborhood. Believes it TO be the BEST Manure
now In use'
E. R. LILIES, Lilesville, Anson County, n. O., re-
ports:
GAS compared with Peruvian Guano and Baughs
Super. Phosphate the ses1ls was decidedly IN favor
yopd doubt to ae fact that the ravages Of the rust
were not by marked difference, 80 severe where II
was applied as where the other manures were"
JAMES MoMKEKN, Aston, 8. c., reports:
"Used ton Of Peruvian, and found the result but
one half as compared with those from MAPRS'
SUPER-PHOSPHATE. Soil mostly sandy, with clay
subsoiI. Marked difference IN the size Of the bos,
in favor of MAPES' 'SUPERPHUSPHATE. On Cot
ton plsnts the increased growth was about 100 per
cent"
JoHs B. HA1B, Minis, s. c.:
"cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma.
tured at least too toeeks earlier where MAPES'
other Fertilizers applied. MAPEs' sUPER-PHOs-
PHATE produced loo pounds per acre more Cotton
than Rhodes Superb Phosphate, and 80 pounds per
acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same quan-
ty Of each. 150 pounds used 70 the acre, cultivated
In the same manner. MAPES' 'SUPERPH0SPHATE
more than doubled the yield Of Cotton"
B. S. VENNNo, Christ Church Parish, g. c., re-
ports:
zone application. 200 pounds MAPEs' SUPER
PHOSPHATE per acre, made the cotton grow to the
height Of six feet where 1t grew only two feet the
wear before. Considers MAPES' SUPER-PHOS-
PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT
TON, and would safely recommend 1t to all plant
ers''
s. C. MEANS, spartanburg, 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. Satahed
the use Of MAPES' pays hand
Rev. W. A MEan1wErHER, valls Crucis, 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
ma1ure for the turnip and Irish potato."
P. G. PESpLEToN, Valdoston, Ca, writes:
"MAPES SUPER-PHOSPHATE has exceeded my
most sanguine expectations. The effects of its use
on COrn, fea5 anu datoen feSenDi6s was most
marked. If 1t 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:
"AppHed at the rate OF 150 pounds per acre upon
every alternate four rows. The rcsN tras truly a.
tonishing. The manured rows yielded fully double
the neighboring alternate rows"
