TEN ACRES ENOUGH. 
- :.o :- 
Ten acres scattered all over the country from Maine to Wisconsin ought 
to be enough to show that the Stockbridge Manures led all competitors as 
well as stable manure, in the great potato contest of 1889, in which the 
potatoes grown on the Stockbridge Potato [Manure exclusively not only 
took the grand prize of $1,100, but lead on the average of ten acres. 
The prizes offered by the Agriculturist and others last year were keenly 
contested for all over the country. From the official report, published in the 
January number, we have selected the best ten yields grown upon each fer¬ 
tilizer and stable manure. These ten acres are the largest ten crops grown 
upon each fertilizer or manure, and cover the territory from Maine to 
Wisconsin. 
The fertilizer used, so far as the Stockbridge is concerned, was ob¬ 
tained in the open market, of our local agents, and the contestants were 
unknown to us until the January issue had been published.

As it is not our custom to state the names of any of our competitors, 
or speak derogatively of their goods in any manner, we would refer 
our friends, who would like to know what fertilizer was used on the 
second acre, to the American Agriculturist for January, page 35. 
The reason why the Stockbridge Manures were so successful in this 
contest and elsewhere is because they are really made of the best materials, 
and there is no cheating the plant. Large quantities of unavailable plant 
food, costing but little, may deceive chemists into giving high analyses and 
high valuations, but they won’t send] up the crops. The public may be 
misled, but the plant never.
