 samples have been secured from different parts of the State, at different 

 times, and represent the quality of this product that is offered for sale in this 

 State. Forty-three (43) of the samples examined, or 40 per cent, were below 

 the standard of TV2 per cent ammonia. Those samples below 7^ per cent 

 ammonia appear in black type.
