N view ot the near appi oach of another
L PLANTING SEASON, take this mo-
thod or calling your attention to some facts
concerning the usn OF SOLU BILE PACIFIC
GUANO, which think you will find both
interesting and valuable. Being among
the fret who introduced Gu4no into this
State. can confidently refer to my plant
ing friends, that in the series OF years I
have sold them maunres, have alwa,s
given pure article. Purchasers will find
it to their interest tn give NC a call before
huyinE, ns from tho facilities l have, and
my long experience i'll tho business, an,
enabled to fill all orders promptly and at
tho lowest price.
SOLUBLE PACIEIC GUANO,
It is now an admitted fact, established
in tho use of SOLUBLE PACIFIC dUANO.
that an ordinary applic alton TO Cotton and
Corn increases tho yield to double the pro-
ductiOn OF tho same soil unfertlliZed. This
statement is in nowiso exaggerated; on the
contrary, the results more frequently ex-
coed than fall short of the above increase.
The Importance OF an agency which thus
increases the products OF hired labor can
not be over-cstimated. 1t is an agency
which makes ttoO bales Of cotton aud ttcO
barrels Of corn grow where one grew before.
It is an agency which makes tho labor of
one man equal to the iutOr Of ftoo. T. is An
agency which makes one acre under culti-
=
which. it will be found by fair calculation,
pays tho consumer, with cotton at present
| or even lower price. thrco to five dollars
! back for every ono dollar invested, aud this
| within period of eight months time. The
above statements are not mere assertions,
but arc verified by moro than nine years
! experience, and are testified TO by thou
| sauda OF farmers and planters throughout
| tho Middle and southern States. Ii it bo
true, as stated, that the crop ia double by
n NS Of Lot yvh hat IN
PER CENTUM OF PROFIT is when applied to
| cotton, putting the prico of cotton at Is
cents per pound. Planters often say they
have made 100 per cent, because the Gu
ano has doubled tho crop. That is mis-
take; it is much more than profit Of 100
per cent. on the money invested.
Let US calculate tho profit. 10 arrive at
t he per cent. of profit on an investment,
| the net cost must be divided into the net
gain. Now, if an acre Of ground will pro-
duce $50 poundslintc cotton without SOLUBLE
PACIFC GUANo. and will produce 300 pounds
by the usu Of 200 pounds SOLUBLE PACIFIC
GUANo, then the increase from the use of
the Guano is $50 pounds lint cotton. the
cost Of which is the money value Of 200
pounds Guano. Hence, if we deduct tho
cost Of the Guano from the value of $50
pounds cotton produced by it, We have the
net gain from iii use; then, il we divide the
cost of the 900 pounds Guano into the not
gain, we get the exact per cent. Of profit.
Thus:
$50 pounds cotton, net gain from use
OF 200 pounds Guano, at Is cents
per pound. ...........s .s22. SO

net gain, and the result is 3GS. which is 3GS
, per cent. In other words, for every dollar
thus invested 81 GS is received in return,
ono Of which is the original Investment.
and So G3 are clear profit, thus being SO 63
for one, which il 3GS per cent. Is not this
e fair and correct showing? If not. where
is the error? Now. if it he true to one-half
tho above extent, SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANo
is an agency c. tho highest value to agricul-
turs, and we commend it to you in season.
also invite your attention to Pacific
