3. Filing of Statements. 



The present fertilizer law provides that the statements called 

 for by its first section shall be filed with the New York Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station at Geneva before any fertilizer can be 

 sold, offered or exposed for sale. After this first statement is 

 filed, such statement shall be filed after that annually during 

 the month of January. The former law provided only for filing 

 statements during the first twenty days of July each year. Un- 

 der the provisions of the new law either the manufacturer or 

 importer or person who causes the goods to be sold files the 

 statement. When any manufacturer residing outside of the 

 State fails to comply with the law in this respect, then every 

 individual handling such manufacturer's goods in the State must 

 file such statement or render himself liable to prosecution. Non- 

 resident manufacturers will therefore always find it to their ad- 

 vantage to comply with the law promptly and protect their locai 

 agents. 



It is to be observed that the statement is not to be filed merely 

 once, but not less often than once every year. 



This requirement applies to special goods as well as to others. 



4. Requirements Regarding Inert Nitrogenous Materials. 

 Section 4 reads as follows: "No person shall sell, offer or ex- 

 pose for sale in this State leather or its products or other inert 

 nitrogenous material in any form, as a fertilizer or as an ingre- 

 dient of any fertilizer, unless an explicit printed statement of 

 the fact shall be conspicuously affixed to every package of such 

 fertilizer, and shall accompany every parcel or lot of the same."
