  ` I In connection with the work of the Department, practi-
  i · cally every town in the State, where commercial feeding
;_g_  stuffs are sold, or are likely to be sold, has been visited by

    ulous manufacturers of feeding stuffs and a number of feeds
    and feeding stuffs have been refused sale within the bound-
    aries of the State. The Department of Bleed Control has
  ‘ also made a number of examinations of feeding stuffs sus-

  the result that some of these were found to contain poison-
  ous weed seeds and fungi. A number of damage suits have

  such cases. "
    That part of the feed control law that deals with medicated
  · stock and poultry feeds, tonics, conditioners and regulators,
  has not as yet been enforced, for the reason that the consti-
