One dealer's sample was up to guarantee 

 in protein. 7 official samples were ex- 

 amined. 2 were up to guarantee in pro- 

 tein. 2 were over 5 per cent, below; 

 2 were over one per cent, below 

 and one was nearly 2 per cent. 

 below^ The 2 that were up in protein 

 carried the "dark" label. Of the 5 that 

 were below, 3 carried the ' ' light ' ' label, 

 one the dark, and in the case of the fifth 

 the inspector did not note the list of in- 

 gredients. Both the sample on which 

 the list of ingredients was not noted and 

 the low sample that was LABELED like 

 the "dark" slock feed, apparently consist 

 only of the "light" ingredients. The 5 

 lov/ samples were examined for fat and 

 fiber. All were in accord w'ith guarantee 

 in fat; 3 were in fiber. One of the others 

 was slightly high in fiber and the' other 

 carried over 18 per cent, of fiber. 



Four official samples were examined. All 

 were misbranded in that the package 

 guarantees differed from those in the filed 

 certificate. 2 of the labels carried a 

 guarantee of only 7 per cent, protein. On 

 that basis they were up to guarantee, but 

 on the basis of the certificate guarantee 

 were IJ. per cert, below. The other 2 

 labels carried a guarantee of 9 per cent, 

 protein. On that basis they were one-half 

 per cent, below, and on the basis of the 

 certificate guarantee they were 1| per 

 cent, below. All carried the certificate 

 guarantee of 4 per cent. fat. Of 3 sam- 

 ples examined for fat, 2 were up to guar- 

 antee, the other was slightly below. On 

 the basis of the certificate fiber guar- 

 antee one sample was in accord, one was 

 slightly high, and one was over 2 per 

 cent. high. One of the samples carried 

 over 2 per cent, of salt.
