ASSISTED BY 



J. M. PICKEL, L. L. BRINKLEY and F. P. DRANE, Assistant Chemists. 



The following law regulating the registration, sale and inspection 

 of concentrated feeds was passed by the General Assembly of 1909. 

 This law is in accordance with the Uniform Feed Law adopted by 

 the Southern States Association of Commissioners of Agriculture 

 and which this association recommended be adopted by all the States 

 represented in this association. 



The object of changing the law from its old form to the present 

 form is to assist in the movement to have feed control laws with 

 uniform requirements throughout the States where the trade con- 

 ditions are similar. This law affords ample protection to the con- 

 sumer, and uniformity in the requirements will facilitate the inspec- 

 tion work and be a help to the manufacturer who puts his goods on 

 sale in the States having uniform requirements. Following is the 

 text of the law : 



AN ACT TO REGULATE THE REGISTRATION AND SALE OF CON- 

 CENTRATED COMMERCIAL FEEDING STUFFS. 



The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: 



Section 1. That every lot or parcel of concentrated commercial feeding stuff 

 sold, offered or exposed for sale within this State shall have affixed thereto or 

 printed thereon, in a conspicuous place on the outside thereof, a legible and 

 plainly printed statement in the English language clearly and truly certifying 

 the weight of the package (Provided, that all concentrated commercial feeding 

 stuffs shall be in standard-weight bags or packages of twenty-five, fifty, sev- 

 enty-five, one hundred, one hundred and twenty-five, one hundred and fifty, one 

 hundred and seventy-five, and two hundred pounds) ; the name, brand or trade- 

 mark under which the article is sold ; the name and address of the manufac- 

 turer, jobber or importer ; the names of each and all ingredients of which the 

 article is composed ; a guarantee that the contents are pure and unadulterated, 

 and a statement of the maximum percentage it contains of crude fiber, and 

 the percentage of crude fat, and the percentage of crude protein, and the 

 percentage of carbohydrates, allowing one per cent of nitrogen to equal six 

 and one-fourth per cent of protein, all four constituents to be determined by 

 the methods in use at the time by the Association of Official Agricultural 

 Chemists of the United States. 



Sec 2. The term "concentrated commercial feeding stuffs" shall be held to 

 include all feeds used for live stock and poultry, except hays, straws and corn 

 stover, when the same are not mixed with other materials, nor shall it apply 

 to the whole seeds or grains of cereals when not mixed with other materials.
