Crops 213, 119, and 95 bushels each; Grown on one measured acre exclusively with the MAPES CORN MANURE. 
Of this great crop, 213 bushels, shelled corn, grown in Yates County, N. Y., with the Mapes Corn Manure (800 pounds 
per acre) exclusively, the American Agriculturist says: “ If we allow only $15 as the value of the tops for fodder, and make no 
account of bottom stalks, the cost comes within twenty cents a bushel (shelled corn).” 
The LARGEST crop grown with fertilizers OTHER THAN the Mapes (45 crops in all) was 84 BUSHELS (chemically dried, GO 
bushels). 
Some large crops grown with the Mapes Corn Manure, and reported in the Agricultural Press. 
1,040 bushels of corn (ears) on less than 4>£ acres, equal to 2333 < bushels, or 116% bushels shelled corn, per acre, grown on farm

per acre) used .—Connecticut Farmer. 
Corn a Renovating Crop—From the American Agriculturist. 
The Mapes Corn manure alone was used on the large crops recently described in American Agriculturist, but such yields 
are possible only by an exceptional combination of season, sunshine, moisture, soil, texture and fertilization, and by the use 
of seed that will produce two or more ears per stalk. Corn is a comparatively sure crop, and Prof. Mapes says that, with 
judicious fertilization, it can be made a renovating crop and not an exhausting crop as is generally supposed, bringing up the land to 
good condition for grass or general crops, besides making money from the start, and having field left clean and free of weeds.
