worn from being planted In cotton from 1857 to 1851
with only )nu years rest during that time, and not
withstandng the long continued cold and heavy rain,
and gales Turing the spring and summer, about the
first OF September the crop ON thts field was esma-
ted by sorle of our best judges to promise yield of
180 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 10 other man.
ured land made over 46pounds. Has used MAPEo'
PHOSPH ATE on melons, potatoes and the garden
with salts factory results.
