86 Bushels Oats and 44 Bushels Wheat per Acre 
IN NEW YORK STATE. 
I send you photographs of my wheat field. The crop was raised on Bradley’s Fertilizers, which I have used for 
the last fifteen years. I have used a great many kinds, but have always found that Bradley’s Phosphate and BI) Sea- 
Fowl Guano gave the best results. They are always in fine, dry condition for drilling, and the results have been all that 
I could desire. I have raised the finest crops of wheat and oats that I ever saw. Have had 86 bushels of oats to the 
acre and 44 bushels of wheat to the acre where I used these fertilizers. The strips which we left through our fields 
without any of your fertilizers looked as though they would not yield half as much per acre. 
My wheat this year was the heaviest I ever saw, and it was all a good binder could do to cut it. When it was 
shocked up it did not seem as if it could all have grown on the one field.
