In case of mixed or compounded feeds, a statement of the in- 

 gredients contained therein must be included in the guarantee. 



2. Registration. Registration of all feeding stuffs is now 

 necessar}' although no fee is required. Upon application, the 

 proper forms for registration will be forwarded. 



3. Appropriation. In place of the $3,000 formerly allowed 

 for carrying out the provisions of the act, $6,000 is now appro- 

 priated. 



4. Phraseology. The law has been put in such form as to be 

 more explicit in the statement of its requirements. Before being 

 submitted for enactment, the text was carefully reviewed not only 

 by officials of this station, but by those of other experiment sta- 

 tions and also by a committee of feed dealers from the Boston 

 Chamber of Commerce. It was finally submitted to a compe- 

 tent attorney for corrections and approval. 



5. Wheat Feeds are now included; in the former law these 

 were omitted. 



The law practically conforms to the uniform law advocated 

 by the Association of Feed Control Officials and which has re- 

 ceived the endorsement of the American Feed Manufacturers' 

 Association. 



It is felt that the new law will more effectually safeguard the 

 interests of the Massachusetts farmer than the former act and that 

 the compliance with its requirements will not be any more diffi- 

 cult for the honest manufacturer or jobber. The earnest co- 

 operation of all interested in the manufacture, sale or consiunp- 

 tion of commercial feeding stuffs is most earnestly desired. 



The acknowledgment is made of the co-operation of members 

 of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, of the Secretary of the State 

 Board of Agriculture, of a representative of the State Grange, 

 and of others in securing the passage of the law.
