Under this heading are included 9 samples of 

 Cottonseed Feed, cottonseed feed sold as cottonseed meal and one 

 Pages 8 sample as represented. Wherever enough of 



the material was in stock, Federal samples 

 were taken. The Canary brand meal taken from the stores of 

 W. B. Herrick of Beverly and H. P. Ames of Peabody came from 

 the same car. This car was consigned originally to a point in 

 Maine where it was refused. It was then shipped to Beverly. As 

 soon as the Massachusetts dealers were informed of its true quality 

 they refused to handle it and it was sold to a fertilizer manufac- 

 turer for the probable purpose of being used in mixed fertilizer.

 Pages 8-9 Engle, Ryan & Co. and the Toledo Seed & 



Oil Co. ran noticeably lower in protein than

 submitted to the Bureau of Chemistry at Washington was re- 

 ported as being free from adulteration. 



It is understood that linseed meal has been offered at whole- 

 sale during the past season at a price which compared favorably 

 to that asked for cottonseed meal. This does not hold true for 

 the price asked by the retailer. If the quality of cottonseed meal 

 continues to depreciate, linseed meal should be more extensively 

 used in its place providing it can be purchased at as satisfactory 

 a figure.
