Nov. Ist, 1878. Dear Standard: Will you plnnse | allow mo a small spaco in your col ! umnstliaf T mny tr press to my farm ing friends (who are, I am happy to state, many, and slill increas ing;) my experience and observation with regard to the. constant use of commercial fertilizers. In 1808 1 bought a small bu m of 000 neves, at $4,00 per aero, on time. My now neighbors told me that I lnnl made a had trade, and that I would never) ho able to pay for it, and that it was not. cotton land, but not withstand ingf the very low estimate placed ; upon it. by mv new friends I doubled up all other energy that I could com- j tnand, and employ and seven good la- j borers besides myself, and run four \ plows, and tint result was that I only made nine bales of cotton and | one hundred and (illy bushels of corn, wit,)) (he four plows and eight ; bauds, which lully confirmed mv ) neighbor* statement, to me. I had my cotton rows 2| feet apart in tic- 1 cordanee with the manner it) which I I had been taught farming, ns a matter of course I felt quite disgus- j ted with farming, but ns I was con- 1 sidcrnhly in debt I borrowed, as the | saving is,front I’eter and paid Paul, thereby preserving my credit, ami I commenced agtin to make another crop,hut fortunately through the in~ j fhtenco of a friend I was induced to ; subscribe for the Southern Cultiva-1 tor, and from which I gathered vaU liable information. I substituted the plans of Mr. Dixon (whom you have all lienid of) instead of those I had been learned from boyhood. 1 commenced my farming in 180!) tip- j on anew plan altogether, adopting ! Mr. Dixon's instead of Jenkins’. I Well Mr. Dixon was using remoter 1 cial fertilizers known as Guano. I wondered what that might he. 1 felt like f wanted x little of it to make an experiment with,and about the time I was ready for it., there came a long a good symaritan in the form of a Guano agent, Mr. Kenan Coach, of Talbot county, anil being convinced from experience that I needed something besides labor I gave him an order for a In If ton of Peruvian, and half ton of Soluble Pacific Guano, and which was for warded to me tit once, f then put my cotton rows 4 feet apart and put down about 200 ponuds o! Guano por acre, and the result was that f m ide nearly a bafe per acre. I also roll and all my cotton seed, plan ted that year, in Soluble Pacific Guano, and the result was that I got 30 hales instead of 9. My neigh bors remark was that I would never make another such crop. I also made a larger crop of corn than be fore. Now being convinced that Mr. Dixon’s plan was far better than | mine, or my neighbors I adopted | his plan of culture, and the use of Soluble Pacific Guano upon a larger I scale, and instead of one ton I used ( three. My experiment the previous i year proved to rne flint Fertilizers ! was cheaper than labor. J therefore I reduced rnv number of hands to six i instead of eight and added two tons of Guano,aud the result was, that I j made 49 hales of cotton,the average !ol which was fill lbs. I would far -1 ther state that we had a very dry p''ing, and that I did not have one i tenth of a stand of cotton up the 1 first day of June. Hence note the | results of late planting. 1871.—Now being fully convinced ! that Mr. Dixon’s plan and (ho use ■ot Soluble Pacific Guano was the i only road to succr-ss, I adopted and i endorsed them felly. T used this year only twd tons of guano as I bad inado some elringos in my labor and could not induce ray cropers to Use guano. Tito re sult was that 1 only made about 40 bales with the same labor, though I would state that, we had extra fine | seasons in the early spring and up to midsummer and at one time the estimate upon my crop was 75 hales at which time a severe drouth come upon it and injured it, very material ly. Hence you see the result of four years farming on that place. In the fall of’7l 1 moved to Mount Airy, and engaged in the mercantile business, where in connection with my store, I rented a small farm, about enough for one horse and em ployed an old negro woman and her children all very imperfect laborers and my nmv neighbors told mo that I would not make over ton hales of cotton <>n the little firm provided I fertilized every foot of it. And tip to the ltitli day of Juno we had a very dry spring similar to the otto in ’7O and up to that date I" had but very little cotton up, and rnv little farm up to that time was a subject of ridi cule for every farmer in the neigh borhood. Now good seasons having set in my cotton come up and I had it chopped oil l anil plowed w ith wing sweep. I left mj cotton ns usual about three stalks in a hill. I left Mount Airy (he first of October, about the time my cotton began to open, flat the old woman and her children brought np seventeen bales instead of ten, the number my neighbors proposed for me to make. Note the results of late planting. lu 1873 I only planted enough cotton to keep up my seed, say three acres, I used 2(1(1 pounds Soluble Decide and made three hales of cotton. It) 1574 I bought a small farm four miles South of Hllcrslie, where the average lands of the neighbor hood were selling at fifteen dollars per aero. The land was so poor thill; a freedrnnn would not rent it. 1 j planted about forty acres in cjtton, j U| land, and about fifteen acres in! corn. 1 made 30 bales, weighing j 502 pounds on an average. I got 15j cents round for it. I made trial ' crop with a pair of buggy horses that j I used out of my farm fully one-third j of the time. I used on said farm three tons of Soluble Pacific guano, j This was another very dry spring j and f did not have more than tivo ! acres of cotton up the 7th of June. | Hence note the result of late plant ing. 1875. —This proved to boa very disastrous year to farmers in my neighborhood. 1 did not have arty rain from the third of May until some time in October; though I made about five bales to tho plow, which diil not pay expenses 187(1.—I lull three plows and five hands for standing wages and we were very dry during the midsum mer. I used three tons of Acid Phosphate and one of Soluble Ptvcfic and made 42 hales of cotton. Hence you perceive a slight falling off. I account lor this by not nsingenough Soluble Pacific. ,My r compost paid very well though not near so much as the Soluble guano. 1877. —I removed to Geneva in tho early spring and placed my farm in charge of a young Minn who had stopped from behind the counter as a clerk and without any experience as a farmer, hot, he made up in ener gy what, he was wanting in experis once. V e planted about land enough for one plow and a half,used I hr cc tons of Soluble Pacific and one ton of Acid Phosphate, made a good crop of corn, 52 bushels wheat, 300 bushels onls, 300 bushels potatoes, pease, Ac., 30 hales cotton averaging in illy 500 pounds per hale; we [daiiled about forty acres in cotton. My b.v.t re.-.iilts wan from Soluble Pacific and from Into planting. 1878. —Wo have this rear about forty live acres in cotton, sandy land principally, 15 acres in corn princia pally bottoms or swamp land. We used under w int er and summer crops on said farm four tons of Soluble Pacific and a half ton of Acid Phos phate. We had a severe drout.li Ot four weeks which materially injured my early cotton, though we made 400 bushels of oats on (j acres of thin hind and 28 bushels of wheat on one and a halt acres, arttl 250 bushels corn and had out the first of No vemboi 33 hales of cotton and will get at least four more lmies, and 300 bushels patatoes, 15 bushels ebufus.

I run now having my small grain sown, pu t ng about 200 pounds of Soluble Pacific and 20 bushels cotton seed per aero, and shall expect a good and highly pro j lit,able yield from it. Fertilizers j pays better under Oats than any crop -1 have ever used it under. I can truthfully advise my farming friends to use Guano under small grain il being the only rood to success. The enquiry has often been made of me how 1 manage to make such crops. Mv reply is that 1 ttm not afraid of Soluble Pacific Guano, and they are I hat is they don’t Use enough. I know three young men brothers to each other who use Soluble Pacific Guano this year and note the results. Stephen McLendon living near l!ox Springs with a little mule, thin land, and a ton and a half of Guano will make upwards of eleven bales of cotton done gathered, hired very little help. Franklin McLendon lives near Macon, used two tons of Solu ble Pacific and will make with two plows upwards of twenty-five bales, and plenty corn to supply bis do mauds. I will farther state that we tiro raising plenty of meat to supply tho demands of my farm and some to spare. Wo feel proud of ottr homo raised hog and lummy. Wh it one nmn doeth another can likewi o do. Now iu conclusion I will say rise early, siir late, and not noon it too long. Be governed by the Dixon rules. Us * Soluble Pacific Guano and your efforts will be crowned with success. For such fills the pockets and enhances the value of yo tr lauds. Yours truly, W.
