Dear Sirs :—My field yielded / / 
thirty-six bushels wheat per acre K ' 
with an application of two 
hundred pounds per acre of Bradley’s 
Phosphate. I have used phosphate 
for ten years, using many different 
kinds. I have used your Phosphate 
not only on wheat, but on other crops, 
and it has given me the best results, 
all things considered, of any kind 
that I ever used.

Gentlemen : — I used two hundred 
pounds per acre of Bradley’s Phos¬ 
phate and secured forty bushels fine 
wheat per acre. It was the best piece 
of wheat grown in this section, and the 
finest I ever raised. I have used many 
other fertilizers, but none that will 
compare with Bradley’s, and now use 
no other. 
Yours truly,
