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
