Aside from the analyses which appear in this bulle- 

 Free Analy- tin, nearly 300 miscellaneous fertilizers, raw mate- 

 ses for Farm- rials, chemicals, refuse by-products, soils, etc., have 

 ers. been analyzed during the season for farmers. With 



very few exceptions these samples have been taken 

 according to printed instructions furnished the applicant; the analy- 

 ses of these materials, therefore, may be said to be fairly representa- 

 tive. In so far as possible, this class of substances have been 

 taken up for analysis in the order of their arrival at the station ; the 

 work, however, is not allowed to interfere with the duties of the 

 official inspection. Lack of space has prevented the publication of 

 the analyses of farmers' samples, which have been reserved for a 

 future bulletin.
