Of me the result Of my experiments this year with
Guano. could not ansv er you satisfactorily, and
concluded to defer doing So until went to your city

Soluble Pacific. My land is an old sandy soil; APP
piled from $50 to 200 lbs per acre and although in
tentionally omitted no part OF the plantation, yet
from careessness there were several rows in different
parts of the plantation, which no Guano was ap-
plied The difference in the yield was from three to
i've hundred per cent in favor of the guanoed rows

regard to the effects of the Fertilizers purchased of

to fully satisfy myself of their benefits. The Soluble
Pacific GuanO, applied in the April planting of
cotton, at the rate Of 100 lbs per acre and find it
eutal to twelve bushels cotton seed applied at same
one half in April, The other half in June, think
greater benefit would have accrued

circumstances. Succeeding wet cold, and conse
