Missouri Feed Law
The Missouri Feed Law requires
that each bag of all live stock and
poultry feeds (including corr. chop.
bran and shorts), to be CORRECTLY
labeled, showing what you are buy
ing, as follows:
Name or brand of feed; weight;
name and address of miller or chief
distributor; percentages of protein,
fat and fiber; name of each ingre-
dent"
The protection given by the Mis-
souri, Seed and Feed Laws applies
only to retailers and wholesalers
selling within the state If you buy
of them they are required to fully
and legally label all farm seeds and
seeds or pay the penalty of the law
for failure.
If you buy feeds or seeds from out
side the state by mail the Missouri
seed and feed laws do not apply, and
in fact they are utterly helpless to
give you any protection whatsoever.
The Missouri State Board of Ag-
riculture says Buy only legally Ia
beled seeds and feeds-they cost no
more, and you can make sure that
you are getting what you are paying
for
