Mr, T. C HrAX, SmitMeiJ, N. C.
You wisn to know how I like the Pro
lific Cotton Grower Fertiliier. I think it
ihs best fertilizer I ever used. I tried it
with four brand of standard fcrtiliier and
fny,n that it raid better by itself faaa
either of the others with 20 bushels of;
wfrt Tcr acre. I put 200 pounds
in the drill and from 50 to 100 pounds in
with the seed. My best cotton wa where
I used Prolific Cotton Grower. The Pro
lific will cause the cotton to open earlier
and hold its own het'er than any other I
eTer used. I cheerfully recommend it to
airy ons ha wants a first-class fertilizer.
P. S. A vera.
I haxs used and sold guano for savera!
years of different brands. I find my cust
omers like the Prolific Cotton Grower

Mr. F. C. Hyman, Smithfield. N. C.
Dear Sir Last Spring you came to
see me with a sample of the Prolific Cot
ton Grower, asking me to sell for you and
more particular to use it on my farm. I did
cot like it, was airraid to try it, and sold
all I bought except two sacks. One I
used on very"poor lacd and the other on
improved land side by side with another
high grade fertilizer. The Prolific grow
ed off thij cotton quicker and held its
squares better during the drought than,
any other kind I used. I will say, and
mean exactly what I say, that if I had
have used the Prolific on my farm of 70
acres I think I would have made at leant
five bales of cotton more than I did make
with the kiiid I used. Every farmer to
whoa Isold the Prolific say tey are high
ly pleased with its action on cotton and
will have no other next season.

Dear Sir. I have always been partial
to certain brands of Standard Guano, but
last year I bought a'few tons of theFro
lific Cotton Grower from you at Smith-
field and I found the Prolific far the best -
Guano I ever used. It kept my cotton
green until frost and caused the top holes
to grow larger. I will use the Prolific
this year, and advise those who want a
first class brand of Guano toLuy it.
