“I used the ‘ ACME’ Pulverizing Harrow , 
Clod Crusher & Leveler on a piece of heavy day 
bottom land, which was plowed when the land was 
too heavy and wet, and was the severest test given 
the machine. The clods had become sun baked, 
and were as hard, almost, as bi'icks. By passing 
the Harrow over it the third time it was placed in 
good order for planting. ’ ’ {See page 204 this paper).

I used your Potato Fertilizer during this past season on a 
lot of land, where I never could raise smooth potatoes, 
with magnificent results, the potatoes produced being very 
smooth and very large, it taking only 43 to fill a bushel. 
They were so fine that I sent them to the Fairfield Co. Agri¬ 
cultural Society, where they took the first premium with¬ 
out difficulty, although competing with other fine potatoes. 
I also used your Corn and Onion Manures with splendid re¬ 
sults, and am thoroughly satisfied with them. The season 
was a poor one for onions, being very dry, but 1 had as fine 
a piece as I ever saw, which I attribute to your Fertilizer. 
Yours, etc.
