ATLANTA, Feb. 8.-There were
of9,565 tons of fertilizer sold IN

ton records show that 50,03T tons
were analysed. In analysing the
amount 1853 samples were collect
ed, according to the report. There
fore, each sample represents an ay-
GRACE of IL tons of fertilizer. This
shows that ! sample was analysed
for every $50 tons sold in Georgia
last season which is considered an
unusually close inspection.
Other states with a total tonnage
of one third of that sold in Georgia
make inspections which viii aver
age one sample to every ITO tons,
sold according to the report. Though
Georgia has total tonnage in ex-
cess of that in other states, the in
spection is closer.
Of the total number Of SAMPLES

continued, SO per cent of the total
number failed to meet the guarantee
but contained the plant food guaran-
