sioner enforces the law relating to
commercial feeding stuffs for live,

During the last winter season eighty
six samples of feeding stuffs were TAX
en- by inspectors of the department.
These were analysed in the depart
ment laboratories and the commission
er considers it necessary to publish
information regarding the following
illegal samples:
Cotton seed meal or cake. Manu-
featured by Tecumseh Oil & Cotton
Co, Tecumseh, Okla. A carload was
shipped to Clifford Bros, Mitchell, and
part OF this was later sold by the
Farmers Union Elevator Company, at
Belts and part by the Farmers Ele-
vator at P~lankinton. This feed was
illegal because it was not registered
in accordance with the state law and
because the percentage OF crude pro-
tein and fat we're not definitely stated
and the guaranteed analysis did not
correspond with the true composition.
1t was labeled, Protein 41-43 per cent,
Fat 6-8 per cent, crude fiber 1012 per
cent. Analysis showed ii to contain
protein, 1914 per cent. fat 81 per cent
and crude fiber 1867 per cent. The
amour of protein and fat should
have been stated in definite terms.
Cotton seed meal. Manufactured
in Oklahoma and sold to a feeder in
this state by j. II. Conrad, Of Omaha,
Nebraska, agent for Wootten-Burton
Sales Co, of Chickasha, Okla. 1t was
Illegal for the same reasons as applied
to sample above. This meal was la
beled, protein 37-41 per cent, fat 6-8
per cen fiber 10R-l2 per cent. An
alysis Of a sample from an unopened
bag gave the following: protein, 36.7
per cent, fat 6.76 per cent and fiber
1885 per cent. 1t also contained cot
ton seed hulls.
Cotton seed meal. Manufactured
by the Imperial Cotton Milling Co,
address Chicago, Ill. Sold by this
firm to a feeder in this state. 1t was
Illegal for the same reasons as No. /
above, Bags were labeled, Choice
Cotton Seed Meal, 100 lbs. = Pro
tein not less than 4l-45 per cent, fat
not less than s per cent, fiber (maxi-
mum) 8 per cent" Analysis of a sam
pie shows that it contained but 36.45
protein. 1t contained us per cent fat
n 1924 per cent crude fiber. The pro-
TEN is lower than guaranteed and the
fiber much higher.
Farmers and s~tockgrowers in this
state using concentrated feeds are
cautioned against buying such without
stand up to it's guaranteed analysis.
Many carloads of southern cotton
seed feed were seized last winter
through the activity of government
and state inspectors in an adjoining
state because of untruthful labelling
AS these feeds are purchased for their
protein and fat content, a difference
of one or two per cen in these fac
tors makes much difference in their
actual feeding value.
Cotton seed meal. Manufactured
by the Ardmore Oil & Milling Co.,
Ardmore, Okla. Sold to a feeder in
this state by the Wootten-B Burton
Sales Co., Kansas City, Mo. Illegal
for the same reasons as No. l above.

oil or fat 6h-7 per cent, fiber not
more than IL per cent. Analysis
