suggested in the law and it is not possible for the Station to act 
as the chemist of the fertilizer trade. Dealers often send samples 
in order to be assured that their goods are in accordance with the 
guaranteed requirements. As to these samples, it should be said 
that there is an annual inspection of the various brands sold in the 
State and it is not feasible to be continually repeating analyses of 
brands that are examined officially by the Commissioner of Agri- 
culture. Samples from consumers are treated according to circum- 
stances. In a large majority of cases they do not involve matters 
of sufficient importance to render the analyses advisable. In many 
cases, also, analyses are not necessary in order to give to the inter- 
ested parties the information that is desired.
