But special mixtures were not so well tagged in 1920 as they were in 1919. In all the years out-of-state dealers have been the worst offenders. Every effort has been made to insure the results of the laboratory being ac- curate and fair in every way. Lack of funds for travel and laboratory work have not permitted more extended work being undertaken. However, ger- mination tests have been made promptly. Samples collected in March and April were tested in May. Those not within the "limits of toleration" were rctested in June.
