Hg y FERTILIZER CONTROL VVOEK.
zhe During the year 630 analyses of fertilizers were made. Forty-
as, four manul'a<·turers were authorized to sell fertilizers in the State V
np and tags for 366 brands were issued. There were 636.281 tags I
ith printed and sent to the various firms during the year. The fer-
Jts tilizer fees for the year amounted to $17,535.80, being at little less
ith than for 1903, which amounted to $17.782.50. For 1902 we col-
ied lected $95.3:%1.50 for fertilizer fees. This makes a shortage of ,
Jer `over $15.(l00.00 in the last two years, a shortage which was not  
expected at the time the Experiment Station was planned and ap-  
1d- I propriatious were made for its erection. Up to Hay 1 of this year,  
$8.615.00 have been collected for such fees. This is a little in g
excess of last year’s fees up to that time, which amounted to E
$8,514.00, but considerably short of the spring trade two years  
wk previous. which amounted to $11267.50.
