 by the use of automobiles, they were successful in visiting most of the agents 

 in their respective territories within the ten weeks' period available for this work. 

 The counties covered by each agent were as follows: James T. Howard, Berk- 

 shire, Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden; A. G. Brigham, Worcester; G. E. 

 Taylor, Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth and Barnstable; C. L. Whiting, Essex, 

 Middlesex and Suffolk. 



The following statistics will serve to show the immense amount of work in- 

 volved in this very important branch of the fertilizer control service work: 

 19,631 sacks were sampled, representing 5,875 tons of fertilizer; 188 towns were 

 visited; 1,788 samples, representing 532 distinct brands, were drawn from stock 

 in the possession of 659 agents or owners; 253 other agents, or former agents, 

 were visited where no samples were drawn, stocks having been sold out or not 

 received, or consisting only of brands of which a suitable tonnage had already been 

 sampled.
