DURHAM March 6-One of the latest.
Durham's manufacturing enterprises is
the Durham Fertilizer Company's manu-
factory Of the Durham Bull Fertilizer.
A year ago a small quantity Of this fer
tilizer was manufactured under the super
vision of Mr.. 5. T. Morgan. Wishing to
obtain practical results from its use he
placed few bags in the hands Of reliable
planters in different sections, asking them
to make an experiment with it and with
other standard goods. Encouraged by the
favorable reports submitted by nearly
everybody that used the goods, and being
convinced that they had the facilities for
manufacturing a home fertilizer that
would stand the srst and pre.e to be the
equal of any goods on the market, COM
pany was organized in September last,
with Mr.. s. T. Morgan as president, Mr..
Eugene Morehead vice-presif mt, and
William Morgan secretary anGtt as, .,er
Under the name of THE Durham Fertil-
izer Company" large factory was built,
which was supplied with every piece OF
machinery necessary to facilitate proper
and scientific manufacture of a reliable
fertilizer, and earnestly in the winter they
went early to work.
Ground tObacco-stems are used as a ba-
sis, to which are added dissolved bone, fish
pure Peruvian guanO, potash and high
standard of sulphate of ammonia. The
arrangement for mixing is complete, and
the goods when ready for market are il
excellent condition.
During the past two months they have
found it necessary to run day and night
to meet the demands of the trade. Al
ready they have sold more than nine hun
dred tons, and many of their agencies are
duplicating their orders.
They thus early finding it necessary tt
increase their facilities have purchased the
site for new factory, and will at an early
day begin the erection of brick building
6Ox200 feet, two stories high, which they
propose to equip as well as, if not better
than any establishment Of the kind in tht
State. With these facilities, and with tht
! energy and reputation Of the gentlemen
connected with it, and with the true meri
Of the goods they make, the Durham Fer
tilizer company will be one Of the princi
