rious markets OF this State. The Feed
Control Service does not attempt to
prevent or prohibit the sale Of any
feed or mixture which Is not directly
injurious. but II does regulate the
name or names under which such feed
or mixture shall be sold. seeing to II
that the name Is In no way mislead
ing In order that the feeders may
secure the greatest value Il Is neces'
sary that they familiarize themselves
with the various constituents OF the
different feeds. their values. and the
values OF the various feeds as a
whole. They, having the guaranteed
composition OF the various feeds, can
then decide which is the most suitable
for their purpose. The law can not
protect against ignorance The feed
ers must inform themselves in order
to derive the greatest good from the
provisions OF the feed law.
Cooperation With the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
on March g. 1912. the director of
Experiment Station received a com.
mission from the United States De
partment OF Agriculture to collect
samples Of feed stuffs and other pro-
ducts as defined In the Texas Feed
Stuffs Law. which are manufactured
or offered for sale In the District OF
Columbia. or In any territory OF the
United States. or which shall be OF.
fered for sale In unbroken packages
in any State other than that In which
they shall have been respectively
manufactured or purchased. for ex'
animation under the direction or su-
pervision OF the Bureau OF Chemistry
at Washington. d. c.
As a result OF this appointment the
Feed Control Service Is In position
to procure samples under the Fed
eral Food aud Drugs Act. without the
necessity OF waiting, as previously
for the services OF Federal inspec'
tor. and by this commission. We are
In a much better position to control
interstate shipments and protect the
purchaser who buys feed stufis manu-
featured outside OF the State.
Relation to Experiment Station.
The Texas Experiment Station is
carrying on investigations as to the
chemical composition. digestibility
and nutritiye values OF feed stuffs. II
is also conducting feeding expert
ments at the Feeding and Breeding
Station located at College station. The
Feed Control Service Is. therefore, In
position to secure expert advice and
assistance with respect to various
J problems under the operation OF the
law. The Veterinary Science Depart
} ment has conducted experiments by
: feeding TO some animal various feeds
suspected OF having poisoned stock

under investigation various methods
