applied the Guano at the rate of $50 lbs. per
acre Gas thick as the drill would sow IT'D this
application was made to IL acres, one half sown
in Theat, the other in Rye.
The grain grew well in the fall and both
Wheat and Rye promised fine crop in the
spring; the grain has been harvested but not as
yet thrashed. / have reason to believe that the
Rye will make unusually fine yield, but the
Wheat does not promise so we'll, owing to the
Fly having DANA ged it very severely.
This may be ascribed to no little extent to the
variety sown (Boughton,) as the bearded wheat
ofimy vicinity has almost entirely escaped the
ravages Of both Fly and Weevil. The CIouer
sowh upon the ground to which the Guano was
applied, is well set and very vigorous, and ]
esteem the application of the Redonda, though
not of speedy benefit, from the causes above, as
very valuable permanent fertilizer. :

purchased of you last fall, has given US entire
satisfaction, we applied it to wheat, corn, pota-
toes, and buckwheat, we sowed one field Of
wheat broadcast, about 400 lbs. to the acre, in
Montgomery county, and narrowed it in, which
looks we'll. On the same farm, in this county,
we put in a field of Buckaoheat, which was as
good as ever grew on land; about 200 pounds to
the acre, of the Redonda, was applied. The po-
tatces look we'll and the Redonda has made us as
good crops as some of the Fertilizers that cost
us double the price the Redonda did.
