One official sample was obtained. The 

 goods were misbranded in that the guar- 

 anteed analysis stated on the package 

 agreed neither with the 1914 nor the 

 1915 certificate. The claims on the 

 package were: Fiber 8 per cent., fat 

 5.50 per cent., and protein 16.50 per 

 cent. On this basis goods were in accord 

 with guarantee in fiber and fat but were 

 slightly low in protein. On the basis of 

 the 1915 certificate (these goods were 

 sampled in 1915) they were up to guar- 

 antee in fat but slightly low in protein, 

 and slightly high in fiber. 



Four official samples were obtained, all 

 1914 shipments. The goods were mis- 

 branded in that the protein guarantee 

 stated on the package did not agree with 

 that on the filed certificate. The package 

 label claimed 16.50 per cent, protein. 

 The 4 samples all fell short of this guar - 

 antee; all but one fell short of the guar- 

 antee of 16 per cent, on the 1914 certifi- 

 cate. All were up to the guarantee of 15 

 per cent, on the 1915 certificate. Goods 

 of this brand shipped since January, 1915, 

 found by inspectors, were labeled in 

 accord with the 1915 certificate. The 

 fiber and fat claims on the package were 

 in accord with the 1914 certificate. One 

 sample was examined for fiber and fat 

 and found in accord with guarantee in 

 both. 3 samples were examined for weed 

 seeds; all contained some hulls of corn 

 cockle and wild buckwheat; 2 contained 

 a few seeds of green foxtail, yellow fox- 

 tail, mustard and penny cress. 



No goods of this brand were found by 

 inspectors. 



Only one lot of this feed was found by 

 inspectors. It consisted of one carload. 

 2 samples were both decidedly below 

 guarantee in protein and slightly below 

 in fat. They carried no more fiber than 

 claimed.

 inspectors.
