5. Agents of manufacturers, importers and dealers in 

 commercial fertilizers are held personally responsible for 

 their transactions until they can prove that the articles they 

 offer for sale are duly recorded in this office. 



6. Manufacturers and importers are requested to furnish 

 a list of their agents. 



7. All applications for certificates should be addressed to 

 the Director of the Massachusetts State Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station. 



Arrangements are made, as in previous years, to attend 

 to the examination of olijects of general interest to the farm- 

 ing community, to the full extent of existing resources. 

 Requests for analyses of substances — as fodder articles, 

 fertilizers, etc. — coming through officers of agricultural 

 societies and farmers' clubs within the State will receive 

 hereafter, as in the past, first attention, and in the order 

 that the applications arrive at the office of the station. The 

 results will be returned without a charge for the services 

 rendered. Application of private parties for analyses of 

 substances, free of charge, will receive a careful considera- 

 tion whenever the results promise to l)e of a more general 

 interest. For obvious reasons, no work can be carried on 

 at the station of which the results are not at the disposal of 

 the managers for publication, if deemed advisable in the 

 interest of the citizens of the State. 



All parcels and communications sent to "The Massa- 

 chusetts State Experiment Station " must have express and 

 postal charges prepaid, to receive attention.
