would talk uu commercial feeds as tiiej are iound in Pennsylvania. 

 You will find a large number of instructors who are able to tell you 

 all about fertilizers and other subjects. 



By the last information that was secured in the Department of 

 Agriculture in regard to the amount of fertilizers sold in the State, 

 it was estimated between six and seven millions of dollars w^orth, 

 and after consulting with men who I believe know, I am safe in say- 

 ing there are more than thirty millions of dollars worth of concen- 

 ti'ated commercial feeding stuffs sold in Pennsylvania during 1910. 

 This will give some idea of the importance of this subject. 



I hereby give you a table that gives the names of the county, town 

 or city visited, number of samples taken in each town, number of 

 samples taken in each county and number of towns visited where 

 no samples were taken. 



This table shows that there were 1500 samples taken by our 

 Special Agent in 1910. It also shows the number of towns that were 

 visited in which there were no samples taken. The reason that 

 there were no samples taken in these towns, was that the feed on 

 sale had been sampled in other towns near by. We could not visit 

 near all the feed stores in each county, as it would have consumed 

 all the time of the agent, and it would have been impossible to visit 

 all the counties of the Commonwealth. This matter will be referred 

 to under the head of "Our Needs."
