8,114 lbs. on less than three acres.—Cured well.—Quality good, 
seven years.—Havana leaf, 1,500 lbs. per acre on turf ground. 
THREE ACRES, HAVANA LEAF, SEASON 1884. —SEED LEAF, 1885. 
RILEY MAYNARD, South Deerfield, Mass., December 23d, 1885, reports: 
1 send you mv report ou inv tobacco raised with your fertilizer the second year. 
Last year (1884) I raised Havana Leaf on about three acres of turf ground. I used the 
Mapes’ Tobacco Manure (Conn. Braud). I used about fifty’ dollars worth per acre and got 1,WK) 
lbs. Havana Leaf to the acre. . n u a 
This vear (1885) on the same piece 1 set out Seed Leaf and applied the same Conn. Tirana 
(Mapes’), 5,400 lbs., on the three acres (less 15 rods). I set ant twenty-one thousand plants, or 
7,000 plants per acre. . _ , „„ T . . , , C1 , ( 
The crop cured well. I finished stripping it yesterday (December 21st.) It weighed 8,114 
lbs.—over four tons on less thau three acres. This is, probably the largest yield in Mass, or 
Conn. If there be any other Fertilizer that cau beat it, I want to know it. There has been no 
stable manure on the ground for seven years. „ , , . 
I sowed the fertilizer, Mapes’ Complete Manure for Tobacco (Conn. Brand,) on broadcast, 
plowiug-in one-half, and harrowed-in the other half. 1 used Phosphate in the hill. 
ONE ACRE, TURF GROUND, HAVANA LEAF. 
I also raised one acre of Havana on turf ground, using one to., - jf the Mapes’ (Conn. Brand). 
I got 1,500 lbs. of fine tobacco.

[Extract from Our Country Home , February, 1886, Greenfield, Mass.] 
Stable Manure vs. Complete Chemical Manures—Experiment at our Country 
Home Grounds. 
Experiment. A. — Corn —In a field of 3 acres of Pride of the North corn, 2 plats of X acre 
each were marked off. Boil, light and sandy. No. 1 received an application of 1)4 cords of 
stable manure, casting 88 per cord on the ground, or 812 for the % sure. Product, 19 baskets 
sound, and 2.L int-skeu- soft corn, or 76 baskets sound and 9 baskets soft coni per acre. No. L 
received 200 ’lbs. Mapes’ Corn Manure, costing $5.25 for % acre. Product, 32pa baskets sound 
and 1 L baskets soft corn, or 90 baskets sound, and 5 baskets soft corn per acre. The stable 
manure was spread broadcast and harrowed-in with a wheel-harrow, as was 100 lbs. of the 
Mapes Manure. The other hundred lbs. was sowed when the corn was one foot high and culti¬ 
vated-in. In all other respects the treatment of the two plats was exactly alike. The corn on 
stable manure produced a little the heaviest fodder, while that on the Mapes’ averaged one week 
earlier in ripening. Both plats withstood a severe drouth well; $21 worth of Mapes’ produced 
14 baskets more of sound corn thau $48 worth of stable manure. 
E. A. JAMES, Superintendent. 
Mr. James rcpoi-ts: “The Mapes’ Corn Manure gave us most satisfactory returns. We used 
it also on one acre in comparison with stable manure (also one acre), same quantities as above, 
with same difference iu favor of the Mapes’ Corn as in the above experiment.
