fine, and is now ahead of the Atlantic,
Oytton Food and Vacific and salted
rows, and is next to the Phainix
which is the best of all of the guanoed
cotton. The Phoenix, when it first
came up wns little better looking than
the Manipulated but stood the drought,
better,and at this time makes the third
best show ili the test, the poultry
manure being first and the stable
manure second. The two rows that
have nothing on them look well,
much better and far ahead of the
salted rows, and almost equal to the
Soluble Pacific Guano, they stood
the Up drought this time about like the Manipulated.
to I am very well satis¬
fied with all the Guanos, but think
that the Phce lix is the one that suits
my land best, for wherever 1 have tried
it, it looks better than all the rest, have
tried it on rice, and so far it does
well and I think from present pros¬
pects that the Phieuix Guano will
make over double what the Pacific or
Atlantic or Cotton Food will make,
pound for pound as 1 have them all
in the same field, side by side and all
applied in the same way.

1 used last jear one ton Phoenix
Guano, one ton of Wando fertilizer
and half ton of K, Frank Coes
Phosphate, putting on 100 lbs. each
per acre on marrow land, old field.
1 tried the three manures side by
side—wo had a dry spell but which in¬
jured the crop very much, l can
safely say that the Phoenix Guano
stood the drought far better than the
Wando or Coe’s. I think the Wando
yielded me 25 per cent.., the Cue’s
Phosphate 50 per cent, and the
Phoenix Guano 75 per cent, not¬
withstanding the excessive drought—
and on the same land this year with¬
out further manuring, the Phuuiix
Guano will yield me 50 per cent, more
—it shows nearly as well as it did last
year—the Waudo and Coe’s have
very little effect. It, is a plain case
that the Phtenix Guano will not loose
more than one third of its strength
the first year it is used. I am more
than satisfied that, it is a good and
durable manure. I am using this year
2 toiis of Atlantic, but I never expect
to use any more of it. 1 expect to
use 4 tons next, year of your Phumix
Guano as it pays more than one year—
the Phoenix brings the crop up in the
Spring slow and sure, and when the
Wando and Coe’s is suspended, and the
Phoenix Guano is in its prime
l#sts the season through and pre¬
vents the cotton shedding in the lat¬
ter part of the Summer.

I am using Manipulated Guano
100 lbs. per acre, on cotton bedded
15th April, on poor, sandy land. The
Spring has been dry, but from oth
July we have had rain almost daily.
1 have planted some without any
Guano, and it is not one fourth as
good as where it. was guanoed this
year only, and where the Guano has
been used successive years before,
the crop is still better. I &<n satisfied,
from my experience, that the Manipu¬
lated will pay for two or three years;
where it had been used for two years
past, 1 sowed my w heat with 10 bush¬
els cotton seed and 50 lbs Guano per
acre, wheat, on and sandy land, not suited to
T am sure l made as good
wheat n4 can be made on such land,
lam highly pleased with your Guano.

Your Guanoes are doing well in tin's
section, espe-.-ia.lly the Manipulated
and Guano, Salt and Plaster compound,
which are, so far, more satisfactory
than any others, P ruvian not ex¬

The season has been very unfavora¬

statements from gentlemen to whom
l have sold manures this Spring, ahead that
Wilcox, Gibbs A fin’s are much
of all others they arc. experiment mg

Pendleton, S. C 1 ., July 7/1872,
I have used no Guano this year of
any kind, hut I think next year that f
will purchase from liollow. you again or your
agents at Gilbert L ist year
the drought, was so severe that l
thought l would never purchase any
more fertilizers, hut s *eing the effect,
ou the crop this year of the Manipu¬
lated purchased from your agents,
Messrs. S. 11. & »J. 11. Lewie, last
year, 1 have concluded to make a
heavy investment in 1875 in your
fertilizers. 11 II Lfaimiaut.
Lexington, Co., *S. U, July 15, "72.
1 have used this year various kinds
fertilizers, viz: Phumix Guano,
Soluble Pacific Guano, Carolina, Fti
wan and Waudo Fertilizers, also
and Ktiwan mixed, also a
mixture of Phumix Guano and cotton
The effect of your Manipulated
used last year and year be¬
were and are quite perceptible,
I think that it paid fully 25 per
the second year.
Crops in this neighborhood arc
backward; cotton from 15 to^20 days
behind but looking quite well; sea¬
very line at present. Fertilizers
puviug well. The Phumix and
seed mixture is doing best l«>r
me both on cotton and corn.

Marion, S. C , July lt‘, 1872.
1 used Manipulated Guano last year
the effects were sorry in conse¬
of an excessive drought, but 1
see the effects in this year’s crop,
which at this date are double what
they were at this time last year. I
think ^hat, the Manipulated Guano
will pay wdi win re the seasons sun
and think that it is the best fertilizer
used next to Peruvian. 1 have not
used uuy of your fertilizers this year,
but the effects that 1 have seen from
what was used last year, has fully
convinced me that the Manipulated
and Phoenix Guanoes are the best that
I have ever used. I bought the P.ti
vvau this year and tied that il is
nearly exhausted at this date. 1 hope
to purchase your fertilizers next year.

A word from Fast Alabama may
enable you to endure the oppressive
heat with tin-re patience as the report
from this section indicates a fair
crop.
The Spring was so very vet that 1
could not commence planting cotton
until April 24th; finished May 1st.
On account of drouth in May, my
last planting did not come up till the
fourth week of that month. The
stand was fair and tlie plant did well,
growing fim-iy. With one exception
we had no rain till the 1st of July,
after which we had continued showers
for two weeks and the eottton grew
off lull of sap, hut fruiting very well.
We have had no rain for ten days
and lit*- prospect is good for another
droll ;li
The crops are gener ally v« ry flat¬
tering for this season ; (Join crops are
good; oats about an average crop;
wheat is good.
Mv cotton is all fertiliz'd with Wil¬
cox, Gibbs A Co., Manipulated, i‘hu*
nix Guano and Got ton Seed. I have
also used a small quantity < f 1'divan
G mum us an experiment, 'flic I’lae
nix and Manipulated Guanoes sustain
their well deserved reputation through
all this section.
•Many persons inquire of me in the
Spiing as to the kind of fertilizers I
shall use. 1 invariably answer the
Phumix, as l have used it five or six
years, and find it the best and most
reliahl *, as well as the most perma¬
nent fertilizer I can use. My plan of
using ii is; 1 put it under cotton first
and t hen 1 put my cotton land in o<ffy,
and think that the oat crop above
what it would have made without the
the Guano wdl about pay for Guano.
After cutting oats 1 do not pasture
the land at all. In the Fall 1 turn
un ler all the growth of the laud with
a huge plow, then 1 let it lie till
Spring and cross plough it with a
long biill-tongued plow ; then L pre¬
pare if again and plant in cotton ; by
this means as the Guano acts with the
decomposed vegetable matter 1 fertiliz¬ get a
fine yield. By this mode of
ing on a good day subsoil, a farmer
can make a fortune at his business.
From the prospect of cotton where f
used cotton seed and Phumix Guano
together, 1 expect to put them to¬
gether in the winter aud let the cot
ton seed rot with ttie th<r Guano. If
you think these suggestions worth
publishing in your paper, you are at
liberty to publish them. #
