COTTON SE:ED MEAD!
We offer for sale Cotton Seed Meal, or would exchange for
Seed where parties desire to do so. At present prices of Meal
and Seed, thirty bushels of the latter would pay for sufficient
Meal to manufacture one ton of Guano—requiring, in addi
tion, the proper proportions of the cheaper ingredients—Acid
Phosphate and Kainit.
We give below reports as to results obtained from Meal,
properly composted.
Hon. J. T. Henderson, in his report of the Soil-Test of Fer
tilizers, conducted under the direction of the State Chemist at
Athens, Ga., says the object of the experiment was—
“To test the result of fertilizing with a cheap composted fertilizer compared
with equal quantities of high-priced commercial fertilizers. A compost was
made of the following substances in the relative proportion named, viz:
Acid Phosphate 1250 lbs.
Cotton Seed Meal 500 lbs.
Kainit ^ 250 lbs.
“This was applied 011 one portion of the plat side by side with three standard
fertilizers, A, B, and C, each at the rate of 300 lbs. per acre. The plat contained
four sections, whose area was each one-half acre.
RESULTS IN SEED COTTON:

“The mixture described above produces better results than the average of the
three fertilizers used in competition with it. As it costs about half as much as
tnese it is much more profitable,”
Special prices made to clubs, and full directions given for
mixing the compost.
McBRIDE & CO.,. Newnan, Ga. .
We would caution our customers against mixing and selling this compost,
unless the State inspection fee of 50 cents per ton is paid. There is no law,
however, to prevent a farmer from manufacturing fertilizers for use on his own
land.
