that it is mistaken. We have a very
high appreciation, Of the Enterprise,

the article aforesaid, and being always
willing to "render unto Caesar the

. FOR APPLYING
SO1ub1g Pacific Gz1saaan.
FOR COTTON AND CORN CULTURE

The principle which governs the method Of
application to various crops, is found in a
knowledge Of the character Of the roots of the
plant to which it is applied
The guano must be 80 placed in the soil that
the small fibrenous roots, which are the feeders,
may find it at all stages of the crop.
Cotton has tap root, which penetrates the
soil and furnishes support for tho weed. From
this tap root multitude of small fbrenous
roots branch off in every direction, extending.
at the maturity of the crop, from two to three
feet or more from the tap; through these fine
fbres the plant receives all it's nutrition that Is
drawn from the soil. If oil the guano applied
be placed in the hill or drill, it's full benefit
will not be realized by the plant; because, after
it's early GROWTH its feeders will have gone be-.

Soluble Pacific Guano
~&."nHo. :. VERSUS
PEzR WVTAN GUANO,
Its Fertilfzing Power, Economy
and Importance. =.

If it is true that an application of Peruvian
Guano, which costs the planter thirty dollars
more per ton, produces no larger increase of
crop per acre than Soluble Pacific Ga4a,,o, land
which, besides renders the crop liable to
greater disaster if drought intervene) If this
be true, it is certainly matter of individual
and general Importance
: Esrst--Because it's use in place of Peruvian
Guano would save to the planters Of the
Southern States very large sum of money.
It is estimated that fifty thousand tons of
|. Peruvian Guano are sold in the United States
per annum, and it is all bought by the South
ern and Middle Atlantic States; hence the
actual saving in money to the farmers and
planters Of these States, in the use of Soluble
Pacific Gataaao, would be 81 ,5OO,00O and in the
2ne case more than $30O0,oO0 Of gold arc arc
Mrained from the agricultural districts of the
country to replenish the treasury of Peru,
while in the other the outlay remains in the
country to contribute to the general welfare.
+ If true, it is important, secondly, because
the use of
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1869-02-10

yond the place of its deposit. Hence, the bost
method, as dictated by the nature of the mat
ter, and confirmed by experience, is to apply
ome-Msrd to half Of tho quantity used by
streao'ng 1t IN the htU or ti under tho seed and
sowing the other two thirds or half broadcast be-
fore the plows, when tho crop comes to stand,
or is about five to six inches high. By this
method, so soon as the seed germinates, it talas
tho nourishment placed within it's reach, and as
it sends out its feeders from the hill or drill it
comes in contact with the guano sown Broad
cast, and is thus supplied Throughout ;ts
growth. n"' 80 h#@# 'I~a.ij!ryi {
Corn has no tap root, but sends out lateral
roots, through which it's nourishment is ro.
eelved; but in its earliest termination it needs
fthe food to give"it early vigor honoej tho
same method Of application should be used as
above for cotton. If applied only in the hill,
the crop will suffer and partially foil tat tho
most important period Of its growth, when it
needs oil it can realize to form the cor. ,''ve'

Certainly if Phosphate of Lime has value

results if the season be visited by drought;
then it is Of the highest Importance to every
consumer of Guano. t.... a" ., -,

The experience of planters, as given in this

the labor paid for will give its highest return.

We refer the reader to the article in another
column entitled, The PACIFIC GuANo CON-
PANY, Its Product, Trade &c., in order that
splanters may realize the character and resources
'of the Company, which brings this valuable
Guano into market, and which, we venture
to believe will exercise no little agency in
restoring the monopoly of the production of
cotton to- tms country. With the aid Of q
powerful fertilizer, such as this, brought into
market at 80 moderate cost, cotton can be
produced in these Southern States and sold at
a. price (yielding large profit that will pre-
clude its profitable culture in all other cotton
producing countries.

HAS SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANo

Fertilizing value equal to Peruvian Guano ?
There are two methods of arriving at the
truth Of a question of this kind. FIRST
Theoretically if rational deductions from
known facts lead to the conclusion that it is
true, inferential ground for belief is, afforded
We 40 not propose, however, to indulge in
theoretical specnlations
The second and conclusive method Of
arriving at the truth is that afforded by expo
rienoe as the result Of practical operations; the
general apd coa.ourrent testianoaay of disiatea-
ested planters, from different parts Of various
States, running through a period of several
years. as the results of personal experience,

truth can be established by human evidence.

venture to submit that it would be simply
impossible to acquire such volume of testi-
