FERTILIZERS AND FEEDING STUFFS 



concentrated commercial feeding stuffs (Article 7) 



Article 7 of chapter 1 of the Consolidated Laws, which was 

 formerly article 9 of the Agricultural Law, relates to the sale 

 and analysis of concentrated commercial feeding stuffs. The 

 object of this statute is to prevent the sale of adulterated feeding 

 stuffs unless the true composition, mixture or adulteration is 

 plainly indicated upon the package in which it is sold. It also 

 provides that the weight of the package, the name or trade mark 

 under which the article is sold, the name and address of the manu- 

 facturer or jobber, and a statement of constituents of the com- 

 modity as shown by a chemical analysis, such statement to show 

 the percentages it contains of crude protein and crude fat, shall 

 appear on each package. If sold in bulk, each bulk lot or ship- 

 ment is to be accompanied by a plainly printed statement setting 

 forth the above required information. The statute also provides 

 that the Commissioner of Agriculture shall issue a license for the 

 sale of each different brand of such feeding stuffs upon the pay- 

 ment to the State Treasurer of a license fee of $25 for each brand, 

 and the filing in the office of the Commissioner of Agriculture of 

 an application for such license. 



An act of the Legislature of 1904 transferred the enforcement 

 of the so-called Feeding Stuffs Law from the New York Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station to the Commissioner of Agriculture. 

 The license fees collected each year since such transfer are as 

 follows : 



1904 $425 1907 $7,500 



1905 4,805 1908 8,775 



190G 7,000 1909 10,690
