Tonnage of Feeding Stuffs Sold.

The law requires reports to be filed on July 1st and January 1st of each year showing the tonnage of feeding stuffs sold during the preceding six months. In accordance with this requirement the following shows the number of tons of feeding stuffs sold during the year 1913: From reports due July 1, 1913, 93,664.17 tons; from reports due January 1, 1914, 102,560.00 tons; Total for year, 196,224.17

tons.

Inspection.

During the inspection, nine hundred and seven (907) samples were received, and of this number forty-eight (48) samples were forwarded for examination and were not official samples. These unofficial samples were examined and reports rendered in accordance with the requests, but the results obtained do not appear in the tabulations.

In order to make the inspection as thorough as possible, inspectors were directed to visit every county in the State, and the samples which were forwarded were drawn from the stock of 252 dealers or consumers, and a list of the addresses of the dealers and consumers would show that the samples represented and materials that were being sold in 146 cities or towns.

Guaranteed and Actual Composition.

Seven hundred and forty samples were examined during the past year, and of this number 131, or 17.7 per cent.,, did not satisfy the guarantees given, and this percentage would have been larger if certain allowances were not made when preparing the tabulation. These samples required 2,220 different guarantees which should have been satisfied by the material delivered, but there were 154 of this number which were not satisfied. These deficiencies consisted of the following. Protein 61, Fat 40 and Fiber 53; 112 samples being deficient in one nutrient while fifteen were deficient in two and four samples were deficient in the three nutrients.

The following tabulation is a summary of the whole inspection. It will be noted that the average composition and average selling price of Calf Meals, Feed Mixtures, Mash Foods and Poultry Grains are not given. These omissions are due to the variable character of the different materials represented.

In preparing this tabulation the protein as found is considered to

satisfy its guarantee if it is not more than one (1) per cent. below it. An allowance of one-half (2) per cent. is made for the fat and the same allowance is made for the fiber.

IV.

INSPECTION OF INSECTICIDES.

The law of New Jersey regulating the sale of insecticides, Chapter 89, Session of 1912, requires the various materials that are sold for "preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any insects which may infest vegetation," to be registered at the office of the State Chemist. This registration consists of a statement of the name and address of the manufacturer, or the party responsible for its sale; the brand name of the material and the guarantee that will be attached to the material when offered for sale. The law also requires an annual inspection of these materials found in our markets, and the publication of the results as obtained.

In accordance with these requirements, the results of the work done. during the year were published in Bulletin No. 273.
