1. POTATO GROWING- — Prize Crop Contest — Potatoes, Corn, Wheat, Oats. How the 
two largest crops of potatoes ever grown with fertilizers or farm manure (847 and 745 bush- 
els per acre) were raised with the Mapes Potato Manure. Over 6000 bushels of potatoes on 
a 20 -acre field at Freehold, N. J., season 1890. This field “ was formerly the poorest on the 
farm": “ rarely in former years did this farm with farm manure, bone and marl, and under 
favorable conditions, produce 20 bushels of wheat, or 40 to 50 barrels of potatoes per acre.” 
Since the commencement, in the use of the Mapes Manures some fifteen years ago, the 
land has becomejso much improved that the crops of six years and over have averaged 
nearly double those of former years. Other farms brought up from poor to good con- 
dition andjwith profit from the start by the Mapes system of manuring on a five year rota- 
tion, One ton per acre of the Mapes Potato Manure on potatoes— succeeding crops Wheat* 
Grass, — two years or more,— Corn, with littleor no additional fertilizer. Full details given. 
2. TOBACCO MANURE— Suggestions for more successful competition against Sumatra 
Wrapper Leaf. Remarkable results with the Mapes Tobacco Manure in Massachusetts, 
Connecticut and Pennsylvania, in producing yield, quality, good burn, high finish, etc. 
2400 pounds Havana Leaf per acre on an average for five years in Connecticut by an old 
user of the Mapes Manure. 
3. FRUIT ANDZORANGE GROWING— Necessity of special manuring for promoting 
quality and quantity of fruit— Oranges, Grapes, Small Fruits, apart from vigorous 
wood growth.

ON THE MAPES MANURES. 
“Our own experiences with various commercial fertilizers have convinced us that with ju- 
dicious use of the Mapes Manures, worn-out lands can be Restored to Fertility Quicker 
and with less expense than in any other way .” — American Agriculturist. 
“ Under average conditions, and in far the greater number of cases, we do not hesitate to 
name the Mapes Potato Manure as the best and most profitable fertilizer for Potatoes.” 
American Agriculiurist. 
“ Its action approaches certainty, or as near it as any manure can be expected to do.” 
K. S. Carman, Rural New Yorker. 
“ The Mapes Manures give surprising results to those who use them, and we believe the 
reason is that the ingredients are mixed with brains. It is said, besides, that the raw mate- 
rials which compose them cost within ten per cent, of the cost of manure ready to apply to 
the soil. This latter statement is apt to be true, the former we are certain is true. There is 
is great skill shown in'having the nitrogen, potash, and phosphoric acid just in the right pro- 
portion, in the proper form, in the right fineness and solubility, so that action is prompt and 
certain. Often the elements in a fertilizer are present as shown by analysis, but they are not 
in condition to act, and the benefit is not apparent, but Mapes seems to have everything just 
right, and his manures are perfectly sure to do the work intended of them. This is our ex- 
perience .” — Farm Journal.
