That there is a great wastoof amnio ssa when PeruviarJgiirno is used in its concentrated, form: it. should bo mixed With ^WfiTJ^losphatc, alkaline salts, &c. 2. That no combination of salts, leav -ifigotttftftluule!phosphoric acid, will pay on our worn soils. 3.I'lial taken separately 'none of the salts sold [as fertilizers to make home ^Oj^ip^pg^s^will pay. , Their virtues, if any, must bo .in chemical action upon each other, and the substances with which they are comptastcdy ? . 4. TliaJ^iy jreated with sulphtuic acid will greatly improve their fcrti i zing qualities. 5. That two hundred pounds of a good ainnior.iated supqrphosphorntc is about the quantity to be used on an acre of cotton. ;5X^XI Q?l "X ^6, That a soil abounding in vegetable matter will pay a mucli better per cent, with commercial fertilizers than one liav ing but lit?ejffi.tbjs substunco. 7. That a large amount of fertclizers (say half aJton per ncro) will not pay with low 'pr'icefl'cotton. M. Thai with .good cultiuation, good fertili zeWWlTp^yVcven at the lowest rates of cotton; but with bad cultivation they will hardly pay at nny price. 9. That wjiHe potash is. more indispcu sable topTant'litb than soda, the latter may replncc the former under* certain circumstances. . ^|). That'^^imotpnaic bl lime, being less soluble in cold water, is not so efli ciBH^ffT'fHCrBFp'hAs'Iflialc ns"a' fertilizer 11. Thatjstablc mtinuro, either fresh or rotted, applied witflVlligh graded super phosphate, makes a very efficient fertili zer for cotton. 12. That cotton seed applied w^ith the conjunction with a good superphosphate ipjukes a powerful ibrtilizo'r. > lg. That lime should never be used in conjunction with a superphosphate, and the application or superphosphates to oaltiiTeolS soiis.isUftltoiUtui utility. 14. Fertilizers applied during the growth of ?iecrop, to keep up a supply of nutrition to the rootlets, will not pay under ordinary^rcjuuu^ancc.^. 15.

That the application of soluble riiWuresWn liquid foam is better and more efficient than when applied in the ?Jry state. . T)iat lime will pay on soils aboun ding in organic matter; on other soils its application is doubtful utility. lib That subsoils dbKiidt germinate seeds, or grow plants, like surface soils. 20. That early planted cotton will not produce as much as that planted Inter, when the ground becomes warm, and the plant is not retarded, but grows off vigor ously and healthily. 21. That subsoiling cotton lands will pay for the extra labor on our clay soils. 22. TlmtJiiTJtrf?inf a hill will] pro duce more jtottpn than two or more stalks. ? 23. That topping cotton is rather a de triment than an advantage to the crop. 24.
