received You wish to learn of me the effect
of Lister Bone and Peruvian Guano on my
whea. crop of last fall. used these articles
in equal parts, at rate of 275 pounds per acre,
and seeded ia about 1856 acres, and used this
mixture on my entire crop. ] never had
crop that promised so well. The crop was
seeded on stubble and corn land | think tho
Lister Bone n very superior article, and don
think can say too much in its praise, and IL
must become very popular. mink 1t IS me
very best article mixed with Peruvian Guano
for wheat and at ten to twelve dollars ton
chenner Than ~ v y y " and think il this
fact Is fairly set forth to the farmers that they
will manipulate their own fertilizers, and feel
assured that they will get better article, and
thereby save ten to twelve dollars per ton.
Very respectively,
