Wm. Crichton ?fc Son, Baltimore. GENTLEMEN: I herewith submit report I and analysis of Rodunda Island Guano. The difficulty with all fertilizers is their irregular distribution, and especially their tendency to interfere with the regalar dis? tribution of the wheat.

Tho results of experiments with Rodun-1 da Guano, dniied through the same tubes I with my wheat, last autumn, are as fol? lows: About 200 pounds per aero of the Rodun? da alone increased the weight of the crop 10 per cent., and the weight of the grain 3'J per cent, over tho unmanurod plat. On another plat, a mixture of Rodunda Guano and a Raw Bono Super-Phosphate, in eqnal quantities, was drilled at tho samo rate-200 pounds per acre-(the latter was so motet that it would not drill at all alone, or very irregularly, Bay 80 pounds per aero.) Tho result of this mixture was 09 per cent, incrcaso of total crop, whereas 87 per cent. w&3 thc increase o? the grain by weight.

The extreme state of fineness in which the Phosphate of Limo exists is so conducive to its ready solubility, that I had no hesitation in recommending it to my friends as a valuable fertilizer.

I used Rodunda Island Guano on my wheat last fall, mixed with Peruvian. Tho result has greatly oxcoeded my ex? pectations. I stated to you a short time ago that my crops would yield ll bushels to the acre, but it has actually given 14 bushels, which is an extraordinary yield for such poor land.
