On potatoes it acted equally as well as 1t did on

am to do without 1t.

VIM L. BRADLEY,
Dear Sir-Having used your Super-Phosphate sew
eral years with good success, purchased half ton
last spring for corn and potatoes. When planting
corn, tried hog manure, Phosphate, and hen ma
nurc, each separately, on the same quantity and
quality OF land. had better corn from the Phos-
phate than f. ON either the other manures have
mentioned.
The result on potatoes was equally Satisfactory,
and estimating both crops at market prices here the
half ton of your Phosphate has paid one hundred
and fifty dollars, which I consider good invest
ment. shall use more in future than have in
the past Yours truly
