Section 1
SECTION 1. Any substance shall in its simple or compound state be deemed to be a commercial fertilizer if by reason of its chemical composition it is sold, offered, or held for sale for the purpose of increasing the productivity of the soil. The provisions of this Act shall not apply to raw-material nor the dung of domestic animals when sold as such, and unmixed with anything else. Nothing in this Act shall be construed as preventing any one from mixing commercial fertilizing materials for his own use only, if these have been purchased under official tag and legal label as hereinafter specified. By the term "brand," as used in this Act, is to be understood: (1) the name, number, trademark, or other designation under which a fertilizer is sold, and (2) the fertilizer itself sold under such name, number, or trademark.
