result of such analysis in the form of a label, which shall set forth the name of the 

 manufacturer, the brand of such fertili/.er or commercial poison, and the essential 

 ingredients contained in such fertilizer or commercial poison, viz: 



1. Available nitrogen and its equivalent in ammonia. 



2. Soluble phosphoric acid; total available phosphoric acid. 



3. Reverted phosphoric acid. 



4. Total phosphoric acid. 



5. Potash soluble in water. 



This, however, shall not preclude the professor of chemistry from setting forth any 

 other ingredient which the fertilizer may contain. And he shall place upon each 

 label the money value of such fertilizer or commercial poison, computed from its 

 composition as he may determine. He shall furnish such labels in quantities of 500 

 or multiple thereof at a cost of one dollar per hundred; the money to be paid 

 directly to the treasurer of the Agricultural and Mechanical College. 



SEC. 4. Every box, barrel, keg, or other package or quantity of commercial fertili- 

 zer or commercial poison (within the limitations of Section 1 of this law), in any 

 shape or form, sold or offered for sale in this State, shall have attached to it in a 

 conspicuous place the label as provided for in Section 3 of this law, with the signature 

 of the professor of chemistry attached. 



SEC. 5. The professor of chemistry, or any duly authorized agent of his, is hereby 

 authorized to select from any package of commercial fertilizer or commercial poison 

 sold, or exposed for sale in this State, a quantity not to exceed two pounds, for a 

 sample to be used for the purpose of an official analysis and for comparison with the 

 sample furnished by the manufacturer, agent, or vendor, for official analysis. 



SEC. 6. Any manufacturer, agent, or vendor of any commercial fertilizer or com- 

 mercial poison who shall offer or expose for sale any such fertilizer or commercial 

 poison without having previously complied with the provisions of this chapter shall 

 be lined not less than fifty and not more than five hundred dollars for each violation 

 or evasion of this law. 



SEC. 7. Any agriculturist or farmer, a purchaser of any commercial fertilizer or 

 commercial poison in this State, may take a sample of the same under rules and 

 regulations to be prescribed by the professor of chemistry of the Agricultural and 

 Mechanical College and forward the same to him for analysis, which analysis shall 

 be made free of charge. 



SEC. 8. The revenues accruing from analysis fees and sale of laU'ls, as provided for 

 in this chapter, shall be expended by the board of directors of the Agricultural and 

 Mechanical College for the maintenance of the chemical department and for such 

 other purposes as they may determine. 



BBC. 9. A copy of the official analysis of any fertilizer or commercial poison, or 

 chemical certified to by the professor of chemistry, shall lie admissible as evidence in 

 any court of this State on the trial of any issue involving the merits of said fertili/.er 

 or commercial poison. 



SK< . Hi. Whereas the fact that then- is no law authori/ing the analysis of com- 

 mercial fertilizers and commercial poisons, or the test ing of adulterated poisons when 

 used for the purple of destroying the bull worm and other pests, and the better 

 protection of the fanner, creates an emergency, and an imperative public necessity 

 that the constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several -lays be sus- 

 pended and that this act take effect and l>e in force from and after its passage, and 

 said rule is so suspended and it is so enacted. Passed by the '/'"< /////-.>'.</// Lii/i.<ltttur<'
