Ceuiemen;-TLe Alkaline Phosphate pur-
chased Of jou last fall, manufactured by the
palapsc0 Guan0 Co., was used on o river bottom,
1855 pounds % the acre. and the yield was 20 BUSH
els per ac.e. had the same field in wheat in
1913, without commercial fertilizers, but applied
Hen manure, Bsrnyard manure and Plaster; the
yield for that year was bushels per acre. /
therefore conclude, that the Alkalige Phosphate
has paid for itself several timcs-besides have
fine stand of clover.

Gentlemcn:-In reply to your enquiry az TO
the results derived from the Dissolved Bone Phos-
phate purchased of you last fall manufactured by
the patapsco Guano Co. I cannot be exact, not
having threshed my wheat. 1 used 1t on corn
ground 40 pounds per acre, and think the yield
will be from II to If bushels per acre while IN
the same character Of land (stubble), used 200
pounds Of another Fertilizer, same cost, to which
l added 3 pounds Of hen manure and feel sure
Will no. make on the latter mere than bushels
per acre. l used another grade Fertilizer, 200
pounds per acre, with 80 pounds hen manure,
which / think will make II bushels per acre,
leaving the Dissolved Bone Phosphate far ahead
in results. Yours truly, JNO. W. CORP.
