REGISTRATION AND LABELING OF FEEDING 



STUFFS 



Registration : — The New Hampshire law, entitled an Act 

 to Regulate the Sale of Concentrated Commercial Feeding 

 Stuffs, requires registration with the Commissioner of Agri- 

 culture of each brand offered for sale within the State and the 

 payment of a license fee. This is usually done by the manu- 

 facturer or jobber whether he is located within or outside the 

 State. Under the provisions of the law, however, if the 

 manufacturer or jobber fails to make registration, the dealer 

 is responsible. Feeds manufactured in other states frequently 

 pass through several middlemen before they reach the local 

 distributor. Dealers who purchase feed for resale must assure 

 themselves the brands they purchase are properly registered 

 and the license fee paid or assume that responsibility. The 

 official charged with the administration of the law is the 

 Commissioner of Agriculture. All matters relative to regis- 

 tration and all inquiries concerning the law should be ad- 

 dressed to the Commissioner of Agriculture, State House, 

 Concord.
