OFFICE OFF N. ROBSON,
AGENT FOR SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANo,
CHARLESTON, 8. c., Nov. 1, 1874.
N view Of the near app, oach Of another
L PLANTING SEASON, take this me-
thod OF calling your attention to some facte
concerning tho nse Of SOLUBLE PACIFIC
GUAEO, which I think you will find both
| interesting and valuable. Bcing among
the first VIII introduced Gu4no into this
Stale. oan confidently refer to my plant
ing friends, that in the series of years I
have sold them manures, l have ALWAYS
given pure article. Purchasers will find
it to their interest to give me a call before
bu! ing. as from the facilities I have, and
my long experience in the business, am
enabled to fill all orders promptly and at
tho lowest price.
SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANo,
1t is now an admitted fact, established
and confirmed bv many years experience
in the use of SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO,
that al o, dinary application to Cotton and
Corn increases tho yield to double the pro-
duction OF tho same soil unfertiliAsd. This
sta atement IL III nowise exaggerHted; on the
contrary, the resuits nlore frequently e1-
coed than fall short 0f the above iucr ca SO.
Tie Importance OF an agency which THUG
| increases the products Of hired la Dor, can
not be over. estimated. 1t is an agency
which makes t,10 bales of cotton aud fDO
Odrrets 0f corn grow where one grew before.
1t is an agency which makes the labor OF
| one man equal to the ludOr Of i,1o. Il is an
agency which makes one acre under culti-
vation equal to t'1o acres. 1t il an agency
which, it will be found by fair calculation,
pays the consum er, with cotton at present
or even lower price, three to five dollars
back for every one dollar invested, and this
within a period Of eight months time. The
but are verified by more than nine years
experience, and nre testified to by thou
sands OF farmers and planters throughout
the Middle and Southern States. If it be
true. as stated. that the crop is double by
the use OF this Gnano,. let us see what the
FER cENTuM OF PROFIT is when applied to
cotton, putting tho price OF cotton at Is
cents per pound. Planters often say they
have made 100 per cent, because the Gu
ano has doubled the crop. That is mis-
per cent. on the money invested.
Let Us calculate the profit. To arrive at
the per cent. OF profit on an investme ent,
the net cost must be divided into the net
gain. Now. il an acre of ground will pro-
duce $50 pounds lint cotton without SOLUBLE
PAcIFc dUANo. and will produce 800 pounds
by the usu of 200 pounds SOLUBLE PACIFIC
GUANo, then the increase from the use of
the duano is $50 pounds lint cotton, the
cost Of which is the money value OF 200
Pouuob duhnO nenCe, II We Q0QuCC the
cost OF the Guano from the value OF 15O
pounds cotton produced by it, we have tn 9
net gain from it use; then, il we divide the
cost Of the 200 pounds Guano into the net
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 500 80
Deduct cost OF 200 pounds Guano
tcash price, siS 90 per ton......... 1 80
Net profit. ....... SIT 70
Now divide 81 go net cost, into SIT. 10.
net gain, and the result is 368, which is 368
per cent. In other words, for every dollar
thus Invested, 81 GO ia received in return,
one OF which Is the original investm ent.
and s3 Is are clear profit, thus being So 68
for ono, which is 368 per cent. Is not this
fair aHd correct showing? If not, where
is the error? Now. il 1t lie true to one hall
the above extent, SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANo
is an agency OF the highest value 10 agricul-
ture, and we commend it to you in season
l also invite your attention to Pacific
Guano Company's
Compound Acid Phosphate of Lime.
For composing with Cotton Seed, Manu-
factured at the Company's Works, near
ChErieston, S. e. l have at factory Iup-
plies iur immediate delivery, and solicit
your oracrs. Yours respectfully,
