And the “ Great Carolina Marl Bed.” 55 
Quantities of the Several Fertilizers to be Applied per 
Acre. 
About three hundred pounds of Peruvian Guano 
per acre is the average used for market gardening, 
and general crops. 
Of Peruvian Guano, and the best manufactured 
Superphosphates, the average application, when no 
other manure is used, is about four hundred pounds— 
varying with the crop and character of the soil which 
is to receive it. We give here the directions for ap- 
plying Concentrated Fertilizers, which will serve as a 
general guide for the others: 
For wheat or rye in drills, 300 pounds per acre ; 
broadcast, 400 to 450 pounds. 
For cotton, in drills, 300 pounds; broadcast, 400. 
For oats, broadcast, 350 pounds; drills, 250.
