A STEADY bulwark against 

 fravid is the annual inspection 

 service of feeding stuffs, ferti- 

 lizers and seeds, conducted at 

 the Experiment Station for the 

 State Department of Agricul- 

 ture. The New Hampshire 

 farmer purchases about 

 $8,000,000 worth of feed and 

 fertilizer a year. No big com- 

 mercial company would think 

 of buying this quantity of ma- 

 terials without maintaining a 

 laboratory to check carefully 



the quality of his purchases; and the chemical analyses have made it pos- 

 sible for the State Department to insist upon an honest declaration of 

 contents. In the last ten years the percentage of feed samples found 

 deficient in protein has decreased from 24 to 5. 



JL/ONG-TIME breeding experiments have thrown much light on the 

 Mendelian characteristics of sheep and made new combinations feasible. 

 The New Hampshire Station was selected to carry on the investigations con- 

 ducted for 35 years by Alexander Graham Bell in the development of multi- 

 nippled sheep. The two lambs shown below were recently sent to England 

 for breeding purposes.
