stating that 1 purchased from you last Bpring a ton of Merry man’s Raw Bone Super-Phosphate, and applied
it in a very old field, planted in cotton. My crop suffered from the drought as all othor crops did in thi3 sec-
lions but I am sutiefied that tbo land yielded twice a, much as it would have yielded without the manure.
" he experiment made by me, satisfies mo that it is a valuable manure, very little inferior, if any, to Peruvian

D. W. RAMSBELL— lOWtaiB - >
Dear Sis : I dmre to give you a brief account cf the success of the NORWAY OATS in Inis section.
First, however, allow me to thank you most heurtiiy in tho name of tho farmers of Ka.-t Tenccsree. m f.w of
whom have become practically acquainted with your Oats this seftfontbrouKh the agency of Dr. J. P. Grevw*
Ralph Church, and myself. 1-r your perseverance in propagating and developing their wonderful
merits. I became interested with Dr. Grcves last spring in the introduction oi forty-five bushels in the
vicioity of Knoxville. I confess I had some misgivings as to their success South, notwithstanding their su
perior qualities over other varieties seeuieil tolie thoroughly established in the North, for I had observed
some doubts expressed by members of tho. New York Farmers’ Club as to thtfj being grown successfully In
tho South. In . nler. however, to make a full undfair t* st Of what they would do in our climate and soil, w*
concluded to scatter them among a number of pfar.tbrJ.in different localities and on different kinds of land*.
Hence I am enabled to speak of their success on a variety of soils, having furnished seed to twelve planters
in this and a Jjoining counties. Thevariouscropsp-*-’ ’ 1 "* — !
tion of them sinco and before the harvesting. I am i _■
eminent success, although exceeding my expectations, t
claim for them, and that, they are admirably adapted to the soil and climate of this section.

I tako pleasure in certifying that I witnessed on.last Tuesday, the operation of thrashing tho crop of
Ramsdeli Norway Oats.produccd on one aero of tho farm adjacent to tho University, and known as the Agrl- ■
cultural College farm, and that the yield far exceeded anything which I h»vo over known in the history of
Southern agriculture. Tboland was good apl.-n.i nnd has not been manured, that I am aware of, for a num

fiB: Having, foe the past thirty years of my life, watched with Interest.the. growth and pros-
which must soon odd millions yenrly to the value of this important product: all the result os’placing one
grain in artch and secluded spot in yourgnrdeit on the ?d of May, 1861. Truly wo live j n a great country. !
and in no common ago. I proeurod several bushels of this reed last year, and g-.vethem out to ‘gentlemen
to sow for mo. with a view of testing them in oursoil and climate, and while growing and harvesting they
have bean tho wonder and admiration of all who havese-n them. They were sown 15th to '-(ah of March,
and the yield is tbreo time3 greater than lhat of other oats in the same land. Parties who have not hesitated
to pronounce them a humbug are now willing to accord to them all you claim. They overcome'a difficulty in
the production of small grains in this country on enr rich lands, being capable of thebighcstculture on deep
est soil, bv their great development of streneth in stalks to'support a corresponding'length' and weight .of
heads. Many new and good varieties have been introduced into tho South, but have not the strength of
stalk tbsnppnrt them and lodge or fall before the grain manures. In saying to you that 1 believe that the
Uamsdoll Norway Gray Oats is to.wofk still more Astonishing result.*, and occupy a rrnud and envious place
in the prosperity of our ex’ended country, I say un more than vvhat.I believe the future will attest. I wish

A Well Known Tennessee Farmer Responds.
„ - t . ' ... “ •" Avotsrla, 1869.
I certify that l cultivated thirty-onoacres of Norway Oats, the present sedsnn, on my farm near eon-
cord. I gave them the same cultivation and the same soil that I gavo my black oats, and the result has been
that.tho Rarosdoll .Norways”'yielded more than double mv hlaok oafs. The stalks are vbry large and
strong, and tho heads yield more than double the number.of kernels of the ordinary varieties. I .am of the.
opinion these oats are well adapted to the soil and climato of the South generally, and that oiir farmers
should not fail Viraiso them, and on their richest soil if they choose, as the stalks are sufficiently strong to
prevent lodging, Ihopo the farmers in this section will not fail to secure seed, at an earlv tiny, for their gen
eral introduction. I shall cultivato no other variety of oats on my form. a. Vi. MARBY.

A Prominent Mississippi Planter Endorses Them.
Caft. H. A. Kick, widely known in the Fouth.says:
I sowed one bushel of Norway Oats on about three-fourth* of an acre.
In fact, tho prospect for 75 bushels from the sowing was

‘ of th.
a strip of about two feet around the odgo of the patch, which I hi
bushels. I baVo several heads over 18 inches in length with stalks
the heads would average over twelve inches. The stalks were ncai
succulent, which I think was one cause of I ■
am fully convinced tbs’ the Norway Oats
-fourth* of an acre. They came up and grew finely,
as very Haltering, until they began to head out, when -
my attempts to root them they destroyed all except--
' harvested, making only a little over four
over five feet high. Iam satisfied that f :
no sign of rust- I shall endeavor to select ft more suitable place to sow them next year, nnd not row them so
thick. I no'ticed a few grains that were not so'much crowded, and I counted as high as.54- stalks from a gin-

Dear Sib: Sinco my last, I thrashed my crop. They bavo turned out something more thun ouo hun
dred and fifty bushels of oats 1o the acre. I tried ariosen slicafs taken as thov Come-from the stick; the
yield was four bushels and one pir.t to iho dozen, or.ovor one-fourth bushels to the fhea’. Owing toqhe hard
weather one-third of my oat* froze out. Wc liave had the longest.and most di-sstrous drought we ever had

Gsktleuev : T h.-.v.i no ’.irritancy in raying that, after a careful examina’ion of the Norway Oats, made
whilst growing in the field, and sinco harvested, I am satisfied that their introduction will be attended with
great bsnefit to our formers. The increase in the yield is fully 100 percent, over the other varieties, and the
quality is also better. The great strength of the straw preventing, to a great extent, lodgine, especially adapts
these oats to this latitude where severe wind etorms ate not unusual during harvest season.

I purchased of you, lost spring, one-half bushel of your now Oats, and the same were sown about tho 10'h of
April on about half »U acre of ground in a fair statu ofcultivation. The result is folly np to my expectations
of this grain from your description of them. The spring was backward and cold weather dontinued anti!
May loth, which of course kept back the oats, but after once started they crew rapidly. Mr neighbor form
ers admired them much, and estimate the yield from the half bushel at 30 bushels. The yield would have
been much heavier if sown in a clear patch. 1 put them in a peach orchard and the ground was too much
shaded. I heartiiy endorse aud recommend them.

De <b Sirs : In reference to those Norway Oats, we preparednne acre to suit ourselves in a field of 60
acres ot different kinds of oats, and wo have cut off 8.000 pounds of Norway Oafs and straw. It is r.ow slacked
up, and we can’t tell what the yield will be until thrashed. lVa enclose a piece of tho butt or lower end of
one of the stalks. They grew six feet high on an average, with broad leaves resembling corn blades, said
heads about one foot long. We had an excellent season for oats and fine crops, bnt tho Norwuys were much
tho best. We propose to show what wo do to all our farmers who wish to see, and then let them think end
act for themselves. Tee way to Heaven is open to ail the world, bat very few take the troublo to steer by
that compass, .md it i- so with farmers.
Wo have, at this t iaoe, a splend.d crop of cotton : our neighbors have very poor, indifferent ones, but if it
suits them, being none of our business, wo shall try to not loso much sleep over it. _
Yours truly, GEO. O. BARKER A CO.
Jas. F, Groves, M. 25., of Tennessee, on the ETeur York Farmers’ Club.
Dear Sirs: After carefully examining tho testimony of your agents, Messrs.. Jones A Clark, given in
the New Vo-K Tribune. I hocame satisfied that you had been successful in introdneieg a new and valuable
variety of oats, and I resolved to try what could be done in the “Sunny South.” A little convcrs wtion with *
some ef mi neighbors resulted in our ordering 160 bushels. The proper time to sow here is last of February,
bnt owing to extreme cold weather wo were two or three weeks late. They were put on different (arms within
a range of twenty-five miles of Knoxvillo. Two farmers put it la b7 drilling, the others, broadcast, the 160
bushel* covering 180 acres in all. The crops are now harvested hut not thrashed. The result thus far asoer-
tainej may safclv he >uraaicJ up as follows:
1st. The largest part was seeded with one bushel to the acre, somo three pecks, and in ono instance half
a bushel-
2d. Tho growth was rapid, roots striking deep, and putting up often as many as twenty stalks from each
seed.
Sd. The height of stalks was from four and a half to six feet, heads from ten to twenty iaohes long, leara*
half an in'-h to one inch wide.
4th. Thennitcd testimony of the farmers who grew onr erope i*. that they will yield more than twice as
much as any other varie'ies known hero.
'5th. The kernel is well filled, tho hull thin, and the flour very wmte.
6th. In consequence of the sizo and strength of the stalk it can be crown on the richest land without
danger of lodging, which cannot be said of any other oat known in tho South.
7th. We are satisfied that not over three pecks should be sown to tho acre, while by drilling- one-half
bushel is sufficient. . . . .
In conclusion, allow mo to say tha’ cer’ain members of tho Farmers’ Club of New York have done you
and us great injustice in representing that the Norway Oats could not be grown at the South successfully.
None of them could have based their opinion unon a knowledge of facts, when it 1b well known here that
thus far all good varieties heretofore grown at tho North have succeeded equally well here, while the Nor
way* have exceeded our highest expectations.

Bibs: I sowed 16 pounds of your Norway Oats. halTon a poor pieco of land by the ride of some blaek
spring oats, and the ha*ance on some rich tobacco land. The first wereat Jo Art a third higher than the oth
ers by their tide, and double the kernels on tha heads. The drought damaged our oat crop seriously; in.
fac’, it is about a failure, but I find on measuring that I have 14 bushel*. I am so well pleased with them
that I shall sow a good part of them again, and would not part with it for aoy money.
Yours respectfully, ‘ ABRAM CROS8.

Newburgh, Md.. JnTy 29. 1869.
Gextlemrx: I purchased half a bushel of your Norway Oats from Jones A Clark, New York. They
were injured by thedrouglit to a considerable extent, but I find on measuring that I have a yield of ferty-
fivo bushels from tho half bushel of seed. -They ripen about the same time as thacomcmn oat and are raueh
heavier. Very respectfully yours, P. A. L. CONTEK.
Perfectly Satisfied.
M. Ferguson'. Crains Creek, N. 0., writes, August 12,1869: Thereupon here ha*been most, unfavorable
for oats, nnd I put them on poor ground. I have not thrashed them yet. but it's sufficient to say I am per
fectly satisfied with tho Norway Oats. I find them is from three to four times as many kernels on the head*
of Norway* as there are on the other varieties. We generally sow in the fall season. Will it do to sow these
in the fall? ■’ j. *
Note.—Wc never have known of their being sown in the fall, hut wo can see no reason why they will not
do well and even better in some sections.
Adapted to the South.
S. H. HiBsrs. Knoxville. Term., write*. August 2,1869: I have just harve^cd 17 acres of your Norway
Oats and have them nowin barn. I have been a former for 35 years, during which time I have tested a great
many varieties of oats, and I can truly say that I have never seen any oat in the South that will compete
with yours in productiveness and stout, heavy growth. I consider them peculiarly adapted to the soil of the
South. I am satisfied that they will yield at least double that of any other variety known to us, on thosaaao
soil and with tho same culture.
' Tho above are a few of many hundred letters received. The demand for this Seed is now so great that
it is safe to say. that many orders will have to be returned unfilled. Those desiring Seed should order at
once. The assurances of a large demand next season for Seed will make this the most profitable crop the
farmer can grow. A few acres will prove a rich harvest. Judging from the result of tho past year, WO be
lieve 6500 would be a low estimate of the profits of a single acre. The demand is certain.
The Seed will be furnished at the following rates: .
