The inspection of fertilizers and of feeding stuffs has been 

 reported in detail in Control Bulletins Nos. 9 and ]0. The 

 financial statements for the two inspections are given here. 

 It will be noted that the fertilizer inspection cost nearly $2,000 

 more than was received for registration fees from the manu- 

 facturers. To remedy this situation the fertilizer law was 

 amended by the Legislature of 1918 by imposing a supplemen- 

 tary fee of 6 cents per ton on the amount of fertilizer sold 

 during the year, which is expected to raise sufficient additional 

 revenue to insure an adequate inspection. The text of the 

 amendment is given in Control Bulletin No. 9.
