PER cENTuM OF rnoPIT is when applied to
| cotton, putting the price of cotton at Is
cents per pound. Planters often say they
have mado l00 per cent, bccausc the Gu
ano has doubled the crop. Thu IL mis-
take; it is much more than a profit uf 100
per cent. on the money invested
Let us calculate the profit. To arrive ut
the per cent OF profit ON an investment,
tho net cost must be divided into the net
gain. Now, if an acre of ground will pro-
duce 150pounds lint cotton without SOLUBLE
PAC1FC GUAEo. and will produce 300 poun,is
by the usu OF 200 pounds SOLUBLE PACIFIC
GUANo, then the increase from tho use of
the duano is l50 pounds lint cotton, tho
cost of which is the money value Of 200
pounds Guano. Hence, if wo deduct the
cost of tho Guano from the value of $50
pounds cotton produced by it, We have tn O
| net gam from its use; then, il wo divide the
cost OF the 2G0 pounds Guano into the net
gam, We get tho exact per cent. Of profit
Thus:
$50 pounds cotton. net gain from use
OF 200 pounds Guano, at Is cents
per pound. 500 so
Deduct cost Of 200 pounds Guano
(cash pricc) si8 40 per ton.... so
Net profit. ..... SIT 70
Now divide II 80, net cost, into SIT. 20,
! net gain, and the result is 3C3, which il 3GS
per cent. In other words, for every dollar
thus invested, - GS is received in return,
ono Of which is the original investment,
and SO G3 arc clear profit, thus being 50 fS
for one, which ID 3G8 per cent. Is not this
q fair and correct showing If not, where
ls tho error? Now. If it lie true to ono-half
the above extent, SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANo
is an agency OF the highest value to agricul-
ture, and We commend it to you in eeason.
