REPORTS AND CALCULATIONS,

Net profit realized from the use Of Soluble
Pacific Guano by sundry planters, calculated
from their testimony as to increase Of cotton
produced from it's use. The calculation is based
upon l3 cents per pound for cotton, and the av-
erage selling price of the Guano at the markets
at which it was pur, chased. In cases where the
planter does not state the yield of the soil un
!fertilized, it is assumed that the average would
be, say, $50 pounds of lint per acre. When
the quantity Of Gnano used per acre is not
stated. it is assumed 200 pounds per acre were
apl lied.
These calculations are made from figures
reported by planters in their letters of recent
date, addressed I'd our agents at different points,
all Of which will be found published in regular
succession on the second page of this paper,
and we refer the reader to them in con6rma
