It would be convenient to have the retail price for a ton (2,000 lb.) stated, though the 

 law does not require this. 



Any inquiries for information or communications on this subject should be addressed 

 to . R. C. KEDZIE,

Most of the manufacturers and dealers complied with the requirements of 

 the law, yet I have reason to suspect that a few have tried to evade the law. 

 As the law was specially framed to protect the farmers and fruit-growers from 

 fraud in commercial fertilizers, by insuring that tlie article offered for sale 

 shall really be what it is represented, I trust the farmers will assist the en- 

 forcement of the law by promptly reporting all parties offering such fertilizers 

 for sale which are not found in the following report, which includes all the 

 manufacturers whose fertilizers (15 in all) can lawfully be sold in this State.
