To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The marl of Alabama has a basis of lime, and contains in notable quantities, carbonic acid, phosphoric acid and potash; properties of the 'highest fertilizing character on worn-out sandy lands ; also on stiff clay soils it is espec- ially valuable, because it yields the elements of which they are found to be deficient for the abundant production of crops; the lime also combining with the silicious or sandy soil, renders a portion of it soluble, and thus enables the tender roots of the plants, t...o take up the soluble material as nourishment. We have thus in this natural fertilizer, a large amount of the plant nutrition of guano, and this too in such great abundance, that no planter in Alabama^ however limitted his means, but may have at a compara-* tively small cost any quantity desirable. In various sec- tions of the United States, farmers are availing themselves largely of the advantages of this valuable material, and in every case where it has been liberally used, the most bene- ficial results have been obtained.
