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.

We would caution our customers against mixing and selling this compost, unless the State inspection fee of 50 cents per ton is paid.
