PROF. WHITE’S SECOND REPORT ON
SOLUBLE PACIFIC CUAHO
SOLD IN SAVANNAH AT SSO FER TON
In the latter part of January the Secretary of the State Agricultural Society of Georgia
issued Fertiliser Bulletin, Vo. 1, cont lining reports of analysis, commercial value and sell
ing prices of certain fci tiliznrs sold in Atlanta, Ga., mad” hy Prof White, of toe University
of Georgia. This January report place.) tlio value of SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO at a fig
ure so fir Mow its value, as shown hy years of experience, anti so far Below its solfing price
(us was the case with others reported on), as to rentier it or ain the chemist hah marie a
serious error in the analysis, thus m it- ri illy damagin' the Pacific Guano Cos. Our only
remedy against so great a wrong w is to in ist that the Secretary should take a second sam
ple and have a second report made hy Prof. White. This was dime as promptly as could be,
and we now publish- the result of the second an ilysis and commercial value, as containe I in
FettHizor Bulletin No. 4, oilieially issued hy Secretary Johnston, from which it will he seen
that the commercial value of Soluble Pacific Guano is placed at $;,4 63 PER TON which
is #4 DU above the pi ice at which it is sold in Savannah, ’
In view of Go* 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, the false impressions so diligently sought to lie made.

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
ITS STANDARD MAINTAINED.
Notwithstanding tliis Guano has been in use for the past nine years, in the Cotton-grow
ing S f ates, with uniform success, and lias acquired a standard reputation for uniform excel
lence. expression is sometimes given to the apprehension that it will be allowed to depreci
ate >n 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, tint on tin
contrary, that it is the highest interest of tin- Company to improve lather than depreciat*
its Guano. The interest of the Company in in linlaining its quality is greater by tar tiian
can lie that of any number of eo isutners. In ord *r to afford uverv p wsible assurance that
the quality of the Soluble Pacific Guano put into mink t this season is equal to that of tin
past. we annex the trs'iinony of Ur. 81. Julieu Kavenel and Prof. Shepard.
1 in’ soil all -rds thi‘ real test ot excellence, hence exp- rience is the best guide as to value,
and this experience in the use of Soluble Pacific Guano Inis been had for n ne years.

Th s is the testimony of thirteen pat ers,

possess sworn statements of tlie.-e facts.
The important points of superiority claimed
for this corn over other varieties, and which
are fully sustained by the voluntary state
ments of farmers who raised from sied got of
us last year, are these:
Ist, 'lliiscorn will yield from twice to
three times as in an v bushels to the acre on

larger, longer ear and thinner husk, ami it
makes corn meal for family use. sweeler and
