Agricultural claim on crop yield increase with Soluble Pacific Gu jane
Fragmentary notice from October 25, 1968 by N. Robron in Charleston discusses an agricultural claim concerning a soluble Pacific guanine product. It mentions a farming scenario with a hypothetical doubling of quantity per acre and yield proportionality, but the text is garbled and unclear about specifics.

Crop experiments with soluble phosphate on sandy soil
A farmer writes from SonAure, October, describing two men who tested a soluble Pacific phosphate mix on cotton grown on sandy soil. They applied about 200 by 90 per acre around April, drilling and bedding, and report doubling the yield after a wet start followed by five weeks of drought. The sender, W T Ford, praises the planter Thomas McCann for attention and notes even higher gains would occur with increased application.
