Report of State Inspector of Guano and

10 His Ercellcncy Governor Scott:
SIR: In conformity to your wishes
beg leavo to present to yourconsldoration
the following Report cu
Since the receipt, at the closo OF March,

t;Iizcrs and Guano, until the present time,
there has been but little activity in the
trade in these articles; however, the
nrospects are very fattcring for the win
Ter and spring. Judging from the analy-
sis of the various articles oHereo ior saie'
7 should think that the planter is obtain
ino excellent commercial manurcs, better
even than those from whose use he OBJ
taincd such fine results the past season !;
and, unless unexpected circumstances in
tcrvene, there is every promise OF large
crops in the future, due to extensive APP
nlication of fertilizers. The experience
which is leading tho intelligent planter
hero to invest each year moro ana more
in commercial fertilizers, is the same
which has become so well established in
ENGLAND and on the continent of Europe.
Tn the latter countries tho demand for
ter,ilizsrs has assumed immense proper.
tions and affords abundant employment
to oapital and labor. Until very recent
times the manipulated fertilizers used in
the South have boon imported from other
parts of the country but the increasing
demand has been partially met by the
in the last year or two, of
several really excellent factories for the
of fertilizers in this city and
