Yours asking the result of my experiment with
Magnum Bonum is to hand.
The Fertilizer WAS applied to corn at planting,
May 9Th, with machine, wheat drill with all
seed at the rate of 50 pounds per acre On june
18th was applied broadcast Of same manure two
hundred pounds per acre ploughed in at last
working of corn. The first application acted
finely; causing the crop to push with vigorous
growth second to none, considering the difference
NJ to time in favor fits competitors The second
application made when the corn was beginning
to suffer for rain WAS entirely satisfactory in ito
results, producing R steady, rapid growth and
development throughout the season, and full
remunerative return ut gathering. The hagnum
Bonum ranks among the best manures ever used.
