Mmotm. J. O. Mathxwsos A Co., Angnata, Ga.—Dear Sirs: I have used the Pacific Guano
for several yean with good success. Last year I tried several kinds, vis: Barry, Patapsco and
Soluble Pacific. „ , „
On the 80th of March last I concluded to make a test with Guano and Green Cotton Seed. I
manured three rows with Cotton Seed only. 1 then manured three rows with fifteen pounds of
Pacific Guano and Cotton Seed, using the same quantity of Barry’s and Patapsco mixed with
Cotton Seed on the same quantity of ground, which was poor multato land, all the 6am
all treated alike.
Manure. Picked Sept. 28. Picked Dec. 22. Total.
Three rows Cotton Seed 10 17 27
Three rows Pacific Guano and Cotton Seed 41 88 79
Three rows Barry’s Fertilizer and Cotton Seed 88 22 60
Three rows Patapsco Guano and Cotton Seed 37 26 68
The rows were 170 yards long, and I used at the rate of four bushels of Cotton Seed per acre.
Cotton was all picked on sonny afternoons, I being present and weighed it myself.
The experiment was made to ascertain what Guauo was best suited to nse with Green Cotton
Seed. Very respectfully yours,
W- H. EDWARDS.
