pertaining to the sale and analysis of commercial feeding stuffs; 

 article 9, pertaining to the sale and analysis of commercial fertili- 

 zers; and article 14, relating to horticultural inspection and dis- 

 eases of bees. In these instances the report is given for the calen- 

 dar year for various reasons. In the case of feeding stuffs and 

 fertilizer work the Law provides that license certificates be issued 

 for the calendar year; thus, the report, in order to be useful and 

 comprehensive, must cover that period. As regards the horti- 

 cultural inspection work, this of necessity commences in the spring 

 of the vear and does not end until the winter months set in. The 

 report is made accordingly. For the same reason the work rela- 

 tive to diseases among bees is given for the calendar year.
