is as accurately representative as possible of the larger lot from 

 which it is taken. Because of the cost of labor and materials, 

 an analysis is not usually warranted on a sample drawn from

A one pound sample is sufficient for the analysis. It should 

 be sent in a glass jar or tin box to prevent loss of fine particles 

 or a change in the moisture content. In order that the De-

 the dealer are complying with the requirements of the law, the 

 following information should be submitted concerning each 

 sample.
