Report on Inspection Work of the 



AMOUNT AND VALUE OF DEFICIENT CONSTITUENTS. 



The preceding discussion makes it clear that the present fertilizer 

 law does not, on the whole, afford to purchasers a degree of protection 

 equal to that furnished by the former law. But we should consider 

 at this point in more detail the amount and value of the constituents 

 that are deficient to a sufficient extent to make the cases violations of 

 the law, comparing the former and present laws in this respect. In 

 the following table we give under each class of fertilizers and fertilizing 

 materials (1) the number of samples constituting violations under both 

 the former and present laws, (2) the highest, lowest and average 



Table XXVII. — Amount and Value of Deficient Constituents in One Ton.
