The Connecticut Station Bulletin, No. 81) (the last one issued), shows in its report on Special Crop Manures that, with the Mapes, the average 
“advance of selling price over valuation (estimated cost, of raw materials before manufacture) is only 10.68 per cent., while with all the other 
brands this average advance amounts to from 14.87 to 20.70 per cent.” 
THE MAPES MANURES ARE THUS AGAIN FOUND BY TIIE STATE STATIONS TO BE THE CHEAPEST OF ALL.
