RESULTS OF DEEDING STUEES INSPECTION. 



It is gratifying to be able to say that the general feeding 

 stuffs situation in Maine has decidedly improved during the 

 last two years. Analyses show the feeds to run for the most 

 part well above the guarantees, and weed seeds seem to be 

 much less abundant. The plan of submitting frequent samples 

 for analysis now pursued by most dealers is in great measure 

 responsible for the improvement and the Station advises that 

 this be continued. 



The cottonseed meals ran for the most part well over the 

 guarantees and, although occasional samples dropped one or 

 two per cent and one or two nearly four per cent under the 

 guarantee, the low grade meals were not nearly as abundant as 

 they were a few years ago. It sometimes happens that a dealer 

 sends a sample which is found to run under the guarantee and 

 a second sample shows considerable improvement. Apparently 

 the two samples came from the same lot and were both carefully 

 drawn. Such variations are usually accounted for by the fact 

 that the shipper obtained the meal from two or more different 

 runs, often from different factories. Attention is called to the 

 discussion of cottonseed meals in Official Inspections lo.
