 COMPARISON WITH MENHADEN SCRAP. 



For the sake of comparison between the salmon and menhaden 

 scrap, the following table of analyses, made by E. G. Parker and 

 J. R. Lindemuth, of the Bureau of Soils, is introduced here. This 

 has been compiled from analyses made during 1912-13, and has 

 been published in a former report. 1
