TO THE PLANTERS,
OFFICE OFJ. N. ROBSON.
AGENT FOR SOLUBLE PACIFIC GuASo,

" NOV. 1911.
DEAR SIR: In view OF the near appr oach
OF another planting season, take this me-
thod OF calling your attention to some facts
concerning the use tl SOLUBLE PACIFIC
GCANO, which think YOU will find both
interesting and valuable. Being among
the first who introduced Gulno into this
State. can confidently refer to MY plant
ing friends, that in the series of years I
have sold them manures, l have alwavs
given pure article. Purchasers will find
1t tn their interest to give me a call before
buying, as from the facilities l have, and
my long experience in tho business, I AIN
enabled to Ii all orders promptly and at
tho lowest price.
SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO,
It is now an admitted fact, established
and confirmed by many years experience
in the use OF SOLUBLE PACIFIC dUANO,
that an ordinary application to Cotton and
Corn increases tho yield to double the pro-
duction OF the same soil unfertiixed. This
statement 10 in nowise exaggerated; on tn @
contrary, the results moro frequently ex-
ceed than fall short of the above increase.
The Importance Of an agency which thus
increases tho pr0duct ts Of hired labor, can
not be over -estimated. 1t is an agency
which makes tU0 bales Of cotton aud fioo
barrels Of corn grow where one grew before.
gu cuCJ mhhcS lADOr
one man equal to the labor If t,co. T. is an
agency which m axes one acre under cult
vation equal to too acres. 1t is an agency
which, it will be found by fair calculation,
pays tho consumer, with cotton ut pres scnt
or oven lower price, three to five dollars
back for every one dollar invest ed, and this
within period Of eight months time. The
above statements are not mere assertions,
but are verified by moro than nine years
experience, and Aro testified to by thou
sands OF farmers and planters throughout
the Middle and Southern States. II it he
truo. as stated, that the crop is double BIZ
the use OF this Guano, let us see what tho
PER cESTUM OF PnopIT is when applied TO
cotton. putting tha nrico nf cotton 81 !.
cents per pound. Plauters often aay the,
have made 100 per cent, because the Gu
ano has doubled the crop. That is a mis-
take; 1t Is much moro than IA profit Cf 100
pcr cent. OH the money Invested.
Let us calculate the profit. TO arrive III
tha per cent. OF profit on All Investment,
tho net cost must be divided into The n.t
yiin Now, II All acre OF ground will pro-
Iuce ]50 p0un Is lint cotton without SuIrniE
Pacific GCAN0. and will produce 300 pounds
by the use of 200 pounds SOLUBLE Pacific
GuANo, then the increase from the use of
the Guano is l50 pounds liut cotton, the
cost Of which is the money value IF 20D
pounds Guano. Hence, If We deduct the
cost OF the Guano from tho value of l50
pounds cotton produced by il, VIC have the
net K NH iFolu us use; tnen, III We uivldc the
cost of the 900 pounds G,iino into the net
gain get the exact per cent. of profit
Thus:
80 pounds cotton. net gain from use
OF 200 pounds Gunno, Mt 10 ccuts
per pound d.............. ......... .s22 50
Deduct cost OF 300 pnunl, Guano
tcash prcs) si3 % per ton........ So
Net profit .......... sl7 20
Now divide 81 50, net cost, into sl7.7U,
net gain. and the result il 36S, which is 3GS
per cent. In othor words, for every dollar
