PACIFX j GUAMd COMP AN >B
SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO,
JOHN S. REESE c£ CO., General Agents , Baltimore , JA/.
THIS GUANO is now well known in nil the Southern States, and after six years use has acquired ache».«
acter for unsurpassed excellence. Notwithstanding the disasters to the crop of the present rear aria
ing from a late and wet spring, subsequent severe drought, Ac., Soluble JUcijic Guano has increased the
crops, as will appear from annexed correspondence, from 75 to *(.'o per ct. Jfa calculation be made,.it will
be found that with cotton even at 'present low prices, the money invested in this Guano pays the con
sumer from 50 to 150 per cent profit, in a period of 6 month’s time, and under conditions of favorable sea
son, and fair price for cotton, it may be assumed the profit resulting, would be from one to five hundred per
cent. Certainly money cannot be invested in any manner to pay a better profit in so short u time. The
Company is prepared this season to put this Guano into market w ith 10 per cent lejp moisture than here
tofore, which adds just 10 per cent to its money value.

J. 0. Mathewson, Agent Pacific Guano Cos., Augus
ta, Ga.:—Yours received, asking my opinion in re
ference to my success with the Soluble Pacific Gu
ano. I tried it with other guanos, and found it equal
to the best, and far superior to some I used, that cost
the same money. I used it on % of an acre of land
in aSO acre field, at the rate of 200 lbs. per acre, and
have picked over 1300 lbs. from the same, and will
get 400 lbs. more which is 50 per cent* over the nat
ural soil, as I lefPthe same quantity of land adjoin
ing, and have only picked 400 lbs. from it, and will
get 350 lbs. more. By the free use of it, it enables
the farmers, with propitious seasons for picking, to
have all his cotton in his gin house by the first day
of November. A. E. STURGIS.
* Mr. Sturgis, according to his figures made an in
crease of 233.70 of cotton instead ol 50.90 as stated
above. Is it not probable other planters make simi
lar mistakes in stating the perceut of increase? Ac
cording to the above, Mr. 8., made an increase in
seed cotton of 950 lbs., which is equal to 310 lbs. of
lint, which is worth at 13 cents per lb., $41.83. De
duct from this the cost of 150 lbs. of guano, u«ed on
the % of an acre, at say S7O perton, in Augusta, and
there is a ciear profit of $35.83, from an investment
of $5 25, which is over 700 percent, made in. Smonths
time. Can money be made to pay as well in any
other manner?

J. O. Mathewson, Agent Pacific Guano Cos., Augus
ta, Ga.: —Your letter of 22d inst. is before me. I
used your Soluble Pacific Guano on poor land, at the
rate of 225 pounds per acre,, and find it adds at least
200 per cent to my crops. W. G. BARRETT.
P. S.—Some of my neighbors used other kinds of
manures, which in the early spring seemed to out
strip the Pacific, but when the dry weather came on,
the Pacific eeemsHo have caught up, and now stands
ahead. H-

J. 0. Mathewson, Agent Pacific Guano Cos., Augus
ta, Ga. Yours of Sept. 24 is at baud—contents no
ticed. You inquire the results of the Soluble Pacific
Guano from you last spring. Suffice it
to sav,. I am well pleased with the result, although 1
am making a short crop for what I once thought I
would make, but the fault is not in the guano, ihe
August drought nearly killed my cotton, consequent
ly all, or nearly all, the August crop diopped. I have
just got over pickiug the first time —have picked
nearly five hundred pounds to the acre off ot land
that would not, without the guano, made more than

two hundred and fifty pounds, and I think I w ill get
about two hundred pounds more to the acre, making
seven hundred pounds to th acre, from poor old
land, which, without the guano, would not make
more than two hundred and fifty. Tae above, 1 am
sure is a safe calculation.
JOSHUA C. WILLIAMSON.
P. S. —From the above statement , the increased yield
amounted to 280 perctiU, resulting from the use of the
guano.

J. O. Mathewson, Agent Pacific Guano Cos., Aligns
ta, Ga.:. Yours of the 22d at hand and contents no
ted. In reply can safely say, that 200 lbs. of the So
luble Pacific Guano has, notwithstanding rust and
drought, increased my cotton fifty per cent. * * *

«r. J. O. Mathewson, Agent Pacific Guano Cos., Au-
f vista, Ga.Y r our letter of the 22d Sept, is to baud,
n reply to your inquiry as to the value of your Solu
ble Pacific Guano, 1 have to say that I consider it a
first-class manure. I think it doubled the yield over
the. natural soil. I used 100 lbs. of bone dust,
(unsteamed,) and 100 lbs. guano per acre. It paid
■welly at the price of cotton. None W’ill be dissatisfied
with it who once try it.

Mr. J. O. Mathewson, Agent Pacific Guano Cos., Au
gusta, Ga.: Dear Sir—l received your circular in te
ference to Soluble Pacific Guano, and would stale
that I used 5 tons of Soluble Pacific Guano on 60
acres of land, and have made 30 bales of cotton,
which will weigh 450 pounds each, and I am satisfied
the same land would not have produced over2obales,
without the use of Guano.

ter, asking my experience in the use of Soluble Pa
cific Guano. I used 10 tons of .it this last season,
and I am much pleased, and can safely say that 1
have been benefifted by its use from 50 to 75 *per cent
—the yield being that much greater than the natural
soil. [Signed!
