14 DIRECTOR’S REPORT OF THE 
collected by the Commissioner of Agriculture and sent to the Station 
for examination. The conditions under which fertilizer inspection 
is carried on do not seem to be fully understood. The adminis- 
tration of the fertilizer law is entirely in the hands of the Commis- 
sioner of Agriculture. The guarantees are received and filed by 
his office and the licenses are issued by him. Cases of violation 
of the law are referred to the Attorney-General by him. The only 
part taken by the Station in this inspection is the analysis of the 
samples collected and the preparation and printing of the bulletin 
giving the results of the analyses. The brands of goods which the 
various samples represent are not known by the Station officials. — 
These samples are sent to the Station by number, accompanied by 
a statement of the guarantees as found on the bag, but without the 
name either of brand or manufacturer. Nothing is known of what 
is filed in Albany. After the analyses are all completed and re- 
ported to the Commissioner, a statement of the brands and the 
reported analyses is sent back to me for publication as authorized by 
law. Anyone wishing information as to guarantees or analyses pre- 
vious to the publication of the bulletin should apply to the Com- 
missioner of Agriculture and not to the Station, for we are not able 
to give such information until it is received from the Commissioner 
of Agriculture. 
Concentrated commercial feeding stuffs —Bulletin No. 303, pub- 
lished in July, gives the analyses of 297 samples of concentrated 
commercial feeding stuffs, classified as follows:
