DR.. E. II. ROYALL, Christ Church Parish, writes:
Applied at the rate of 100 to 200 pounds PER acre or
11th April, on ~ acres blue clay land, good dea
worn from being planted In cotton from 1877 to 1867
with,onIy one years rest during that ume and not
withsanding the long continued cold and heavy rain
and gales during the spring and summer, about the
rst Of September the crop on this field WIS estima
ted by some Of cur best judges to promise yield o.
1S0 to 200 pounds Gne Sea Island Cotton Lint to the
acre. Notwithstanding the ravages Of the caterpillar
the frat cotton picked was from the field on which
MAPES' PHOSPHATE was used, and 1t has made
about 65 pounds to the acre, while no o her man
ured land made over 46pounds. Has used MAPES
PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden
with satisfactory results
THOMAS S. SALTER, Washington County, Co., re
ports that seventyfye pounds per acre Oil old land
Increased both the Cotton and the Corn hree-fold
Considers it far more economical than Peruvian
Guano. ~
Or. E. PARSONS sandersville, Washington County
Ga, says:
siSIy observation is that MAPEs' SUPER -PHOs
PHATE is a preventive against rust IN Cotton
Has about doubled the Cotton and treblet the Corn
Has done better than Peruvian Guano per pound"
j. W. SCOTT, of same section, reports
"That 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 be
has seen used by his neighbors."
W. e. SPARKS, Eatonton, Ca, reports:
"On land about half covered with sedge, 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:
"Obtaned the most satisfactory results from
MAPkS' SCPER-PH0sPHATE, applying it as top
dressing. Considered to have had the best garden
| this year in southwestern Georgia"
W. j. ANDERSON, Fort Valley, Ga, reports:
'31APEs' sUtER-P PHOSPHATE has doubled the
crop OF cotton in every case reported, and some re.
port 1t 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 twofod rs fine cotton as he las seen this
year. Prevented rust Four rows unm mlnured rust
ed in August Everything the MAPES' SUPER
PHOSPHATE was tried on did we'll. Cotton stool
the cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green,
and growed finely; has beat Peruvian Gndrio in his
nelghborhood. Believes Il 70 DO the BEST Manure
now in use.
E. R. LIES Lfesville, Anson County, N. c., re-
ports:
'.As compared with Peruvian Guano and Baugh's
Super Phosphate, the result was decidedly in favor
of llAPES' SUPHER-PHOSPHATE; attributed, be-
yond doubt to the fact that the rayags of the rust
were not by marked difference, severe where it
was applied as where the other manure' were
JAMES McMEEKH, Alston, $. O.. reports:
"Used ton Of Peruvian, md found the result but
one half as compared with those from MAPES'
SUPER-PROSPHATE. Soil mostly sandy, with clay
subsol Marked difference IN the ezt, OF the bolls.
in favor of MAPES' sUPER-PHUSPHArE- On Cot
ton plants the increased growth was shout 100 per
cent"
JOHN R. HAIR, Minis, S. c.:
''Cottou wns more vigorous and healthy, and ma
tured ut least tDo ,oeeks earlier where MAPES'
SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used as compared with
other Fertilizers applied. MAPES' sUPER-PH0c-
PHATE produced 1u0 pounds per acre more Cotton
than Rhodes, Super-Phosphate. and tO pounds per
acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same guam.
ty of each $50 pounds, used 10 the acre, cultivated
in the same manner. MAPES sCPERPHOSPHATE
more than doubled the yield Of Cotton"
r. s. vENN1Ne, Christ Church Parish, s. c., re-
ports:
PIOSPH lie, per acre, made the cotton grow to the
height of six feet where it grew only two feet the
wear before Considers MAPES' 5UPER-PHOS-
PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT
TON, and would safely recommend 1t to al plant
er6."
S. C. MEANS, Spartanburg, s. c., writes:
USED 2iU 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-PHOSPHATEp pays hand
somey,"
Rev. ". A. MERnIwErHEn, Valle Crucis near Co.
lumbis, S. G., reports
"MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE hns given perfect
satisfaction, and that 1t permanently improves the
soil Has no hesitation in saying 1t is the special
manure for the turnip and Irish p0ta.o."
P. C. pENpLEroN, Valdoston, Ca, writes
.,MAPES' sUPER-PHOSPHATE his 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 oil fertilizers In
use."
NJ. D. HUNTER, Quitman, Ga, reports:
applied at the rate OF $50 pounds per acre upon
every alternate four rows The result ,ods truly as
tonishing. The manured rows yielded fully double
the neighboripg alternate rows"
