EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 



437 



In a few instances the deficiencies noted are plainly due to an error 

 on the xmrt of workmen in the factory, such as filling bags from the 

 wrong pile. These, of course, are excusable and should be overlooked. 

 But where every sample of some particular brand is found to be below 

 guarantee, not only in one ingredient but in two and sometimes all 

 three ingredients the deficiencies cannot be charged up to mistakes of 

 workmen. Such a condition can only be explained on the grounds of 

 poor factory management or to a desire on the part of the company to mix 

 so close to the formula as to avoid overrun as much as possible. 



A summar}^ of the inspection is given in the following table.
