Gentlemen: I am well pleased with the result of tho uno of the "Double Refined Pond rot te" on my crops. I tried it on both corn and cotton, and am satisfied wherever it wsB applied the yield was moro than double what it would nave boen without it. I regret exceedingly my not using it more extensively the prosont, year, but will try to make up my loss by purchasing a larger quantity next epring. I regare it as the cheapen!, most reliable, and easiest man? aged fertilizer within ?uv knowledge, and cheerfully recommend it [as I have tried it thoroughly) to tho farmers of this section, and particularly to those planting cotton, from the fact of itu causing it to mature from ten days to two wcoks earlier than it would without the UBO of the Pondrette. I also used it on my garden, and found it of mach benefit to ail kinds of plants. Very respectfully, Ac. 0. 8. OGLESBY. Extract from a letter received from Prof. Martin, of Hampden. Sidney College, Va., dat ed Joly 1, 1867: The Double Refined Poudrette is operat? ing like a charm on my crop, and attract? ing universal attention from all beholders. I am already satisfied that it is the cheap? est and surest . renovator of our worn-out landa. - High Shoal?, Ga., October 4,1867. James R. Dey, Esq. Sir: The Double Refined Poudrette I bought for two other parties in connection with myaelf-one of them need it on cotton and corn, and thinks it answered finely; the other put it on cotton, on very poor ground, and thinks it doubled bia crop. I uBcd it on corn. It answered finely, and waa thought by the hand that cultivated the crop to be fully equal to Rhode's Supor Phosphate. I also Hued it on about an acre of cotton, and I am clearly of opinion that it ia the beat and cheapest fertilizer in use, and I expect to order several ton? thia winter. Yours, very respectfully, ISAAC POWELL. Ellaville, Scaley Co., Ga., Oct 4,1867. The Double Refined Poudrette, par? chased of you last spring, I think, in? creased my crop of cotton 150 poonda per acre; put it npon worn-out pine land, at tbe rate of 200 pounds per acre, drilled in With cotton seed. Yours. Ac., 8. MONTGOMERY. Salisbury, JV. C., August 10, 1867. James B. Doy, E?q. Dear Sir: I caa safely say that your Double Refined Poudrette ia far superior to am other fertilizer for cotton; for I have elven it a fair trial thia season. Toora, JEHU FOSTER, Ja. Savannah. Ga.^Seplernber 25,1867. James R. Dey, Esq., President. Dear Sir: I used the Double Refined Poudrette, bought of yon last spring, on corn. I think it increased the yield one half. I consider it an excellent manure. Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE. Ridgeway. S. C., September 21,1867. Mr. James R. Dey. .Sir: I applied the Double Refined Pou? drette by itself, and in combination with other fertilizers, on cotton, and am pleased with it; so much BO that it ia my present intention to purchase a larger supply of you tho next year to apply to my cotton crop. Yours very respectful) v, HENRY 0. DAVIS. Hooky Mount, Edgecomb Co., JV. C. Nov 13. Jamos H. Ddy, Euq. Sir: In reply to your inquiry of the re? sults of our experience in tho uso of your improved Poudrette-purchased of you for this year's cotton crop-we would beg leave to nay that tho present season has been ono quite unfavorable to tho action of all fertilizers. Several kinds of manures wcro uBed by ns, with the exception of yonr Poudrette, with little or no effect to the crop. Where tho Poudrette was used, it gave us noar half a halo more per acre, and caused the cotton to open much earlier; and we would, therefore, recommend tho same as a conoentratoa manuro for the growth of cotton, as well as improvement to tho soil.
