iar The lieu law is dead. It has
without doubt been more productive
of injury and demoralization to the
farming class than anything else.
Now that the farmers find they can
no longer get corn and meat on a
credit, they will probably begin to
raise thorn at home. We have not a
doubt that Georgia would be in n
much better condition to day, had
there boon no lien law.

I>ROF. WHITE’S SECOND REPORT ON
SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO,
Tn the latter part of January the Secretary of the State Agricultural Society of Georgia
Issued Fertilizer Bulletin, No. 1, containing reports of analysis, commercial value and sell
ing prices of certain fertilizers sold in Atlanta, Ga., made by Prof. White, of toe University
of Georgia. This January report placed the value of SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO at a fig
ure so far below its value, as shown by years of experience, and so far below its selling price
(br was tlie case with others reported on), as to render it cer ain the chemist had made a
serious error in the analysis, thus materially damaging the Pacific Guano Cos. Our only
remedy against so great a wrong was to insist that the Secretary should take a second sam
ple and have a Second report made by Prof. White. This was done as promptly as could be,
and we now publish the result of the second analysis and commercial value, as contained in
Fertilizer Bulletin No. 4, officially issued by Secretary Johnston, from which it will be seen
that the commercial value of Soluble Pacific Guano is placed at §54 63 PER TON, which
is #4 63 aliove the price at which it is sold iu Savannah.
In view of the illiberal and diligent use made by some competitors of the erroneous report
first made by Prof. White, to further their private interests, we take this method of coun
teracting, as far as possible, tho false impressions so diligently sought to he made.

o
SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
ITS STANDARD MAINTAINED.
Notwithstanding this Guano has been In nse for the past nine years, in the cotton-grow
ing States, with uniform success, and has acquired a standard reputation for uniform excel
lence, expression is sometimes given to the apprehension that it will be allowed to depreci
ate in quality, or that it may not lie as good as it was the past season. We have often shown
that there could exist no motive on the part of the Company for such a course, but on the
contrary, that it is the highest interest of the Company to improve lather than depreciate
its Guano. The interest of the Company in maintaining its quality is greater by far than
can be that of any number of co isomers In order to affod every possible assurance that
the quality of tho Soluble Pacific Guano put into market this season is equal to that of the
past, we annex the testimony of Dr. St. Jnlieu Itavenel and Prof. Shepard.
The soil affords the real test of excellence, hence experience is the best guide as to value,
and this experience in the use of Soluble Pacific Guano has been had for nine years.
