FREE ANALYSIS OF FOODS, FEEDS, FERTILIZERS, 



AND SEEDS. 



The Station takes pains to obtain for analysis samples of all 

 brands of fertilizers tind feeding stuffs coming under the law. 

 It also draws samples of agricultural seeds and foods in the 

 hands of dealers. The co-operation of dealers and consumers 

 is, however, essential for the full and timely protection of their 

 interests. 



Foods. Dealers and consumers are invited to send by pre- 

 paid express original and unbroken packages of food materials 

 on sale in Maine of whose purity they are for any reason sus- 

 picious. Special directions for sending goods from opened 

 packages will be sent on request. As prompt free analysis will 

 be made of such samples as circumstances will allow. 



Feeding Stuffs. The Station will promptly analyze samples 

 of feeding stuffs sold in Maine taken in accordance with direc- 

 tions which will be furnished on application. The results will 

 be promptly reported without charge to interested parties. This 

 applies to dealers and consumers alike. 



Commercial Fertilisers. It is difficult to draw accurate 

 samples of commercial fertilizers. On this account it is only in 

 rare instances that the Station undertakes analyses of fertilizers 

 other than the samples collected by its representative. In case 

 there is special reason for an examination, the Station invites 

 correspondence on the subject. 



Agricultural Seeds. Samples of agricultural seeds on sale 

 in Maine, taken in accordance with directions which can be 

 obtained on application to the Station, will be examined as 

 promptly as possible and the results reported free of charge. 

 . In all cases samples should be accompanied by a full descrip- 

 tion of the goods, including the name and address of the dealer 

 and the sender. Small samples other than liquids can be for- 

 warded by mail. Others should be forwarded by express, 

 charges prepaid. 



All correspondence relative to the laws regulating the sale of 

 food and drugs, feeding stuffs, fertilizers, seeds and creamery 

 glassware, should be addressed to 



Director Chas. D. Woods, 



Orono, Maine.
