Farmers Union Elevator Co at Belts
and part by the Farmers Elevator at
Plankinton. Th3s feed was Illegal
because it was not registered in ac-
cordance with the state law ard be-
cause the percentage Of crude pro-
tein and fat were not definitely stat
ed and the guaranteed analysis did
not correspond with the true com
position. 1t w8s labeled. Protein
II 43 per cent, f2t 6 per cent. crude
fiber 1915 per cent, Analysis showed
it to contain protein 1914 per cent,
fat 81 per cent and crude fiber 1067
per cent. The amount of protein and
fat should have been stated ID deGn-
ite terms.

Farmers and stock growers in this
state using concentrated feeds are
cautioned against buying such with
out proper assurance that the feed
Will stand up to its guaranteed an
alysis. Many carloads of southern
cotton seed feed we're seized last vim

ment and state inspectors in an ad-
Joining state because of nntruthful
labelling. AS these feeds are pur-

tent, difference OF one or two per
cent in these factors makes much
difference in their actual feeding
value.
