FEED TAX TAG TRIO
Reed McDonald (left), Texas Feed and Fertilizer Control Service director, chats with
assistant director Nick Columbetti and administrative assistant Jimmy James. The serv
ice distributes 50 million tags a year and its inspectors check feed, fertilizer and drug
additives in all 254 counties of the state.
Feed And Fertilizer Service,
From Dog Food To Parakeets
You might say the Texas Feed
and Fertilizer Control Service is
going to the dogs.
Not literally, but figuratively.
A short time ago, an enterpris
ing man wanted to register what
turned out to be ordinary dog
food as having power to kill fleas
on dogs. Texas Feed and Fertil
izer Control Service officials ask
ed him to prove it. He couldn't.
One investigator who tried the
food on his dog claimed it made
the fleas fatter.
Directed by Reed McDonald,
since 1956, the service based at
Texas A&M covers the state like
Johnson grass. Sixteen inspectors
check feeds and fertilizers, special
ingredients, and drugs in animal
feed. In short, they inspect vir
tually every food sold that is
not consumed by humans.
TAKE MOLASSES —a widely
used ingredient in animal feed.
Agents sometimes stop molasses
trucks and check the syrup to see
if it has been watered down. Sort
of a sticky job, some say.
“Texas is the nation’s leading
feed state,” McDonald observed.
“Ingredients and mixed feed pro
duced here total 5,700,000 tons
annually.”
Inspection of dairy feed is a
big chore for inspectors. Investi
gators keep their eyes peeled for
fraudulent claims by manufactur-
Orders for Sabers
now being accepted
at
loupots
ers. An inspector recently noted
the ingredients printed on an in
voice did not constitute a good
formula. He suspected buyers in
a distant area might not see the
same invoice. Alerted inspectors
proved his theory correct and
the non-nutritive feed was im
pounded.
“In San Antonio, a man tried
to sell 1-1-1 fertilizer to his own
church as 5-10-5,” recalled Nick
Columbetti, TFFCS assistant di
rector. “You wouldn’t think a
guy would do that.”
TFFCS inspectors go from one
delicate situation to another try
ing to apply interpretations of
feed laws in a reasonable manner,
McDonald said.
“THE INDUSTRY has changed
tremendously in the last 12
years,” McDonald commented.
“For instance, in 1957 we had
to check only five drugs and
additives. That figure now ex
ceeds 100.”
Texas lists 2,800 registrants
who total 24,103 registrations of
feed, fertilizer and added ingredi
ents. Firms in 45 states and five
foreign countries ship feeds and
fertilizers into Texas. All are
checked by the Texas Feed and
Fertilizer Control Service.
Not long ago, an inspector
spotted some unusual Texas tax
tags on bags of feed shipped
from Mexico. Further investiga
tion proved the tags counterfeit.
The inspector embargoed the feed
until the situation was corrected.
Even pet food comes under
scrutiny by the TFFCS. Inspec
tors often visit super markets
and five-and-ten-cent stores for
spot checks.
A COMMERCIAL RAISER of
parakeets in a small South Texas
town recently complained about
food which killed 400 of his birds.
Analysis of the grain showed a
residual pesticide, officials said,
less than one-twenty-fifth part
per million. But the pesticide
accumulated in parakeets, eventu
ally causing death.
“When other residents of the
town heard about the settlement
between the parakeets’ owner and
the feed firm,” Columbetti grim
aced, “you should have heard the
complaints that poured in. Owners
claimed birds that died more than
a year before although that par
ticular shipment of feed had ar
rived at the Port of Houston only
a couple of months ago.”
“It was fantastic,” Columbetti
chuckled. “People claimed birds
valued at $5 on up. One man
claimed his parakeet could talk
and was worth at least $50.”
OUTLANDISH claims regard
ing the value of animals and
fowls is old hat to inspectors.
“Chickens which are worth
$1.25 each suddenly become much
more valuable when they die as
a result of bad feed,” remarked
James W. James, administrative
assistant for TFFCS. “Values
soar as high as $25 per chicken.
And dairymen get paid up to
$1,000 per cow for animals which
die from contaminated feed.”
McDonald, president-elect of
the National Associations of
American Feed and Fertilizer
Control, came up with a corker.
“A man called in and wanted
to be paid for his dead goats,”
McDonald said. “Another goat-
raiser in his area had received
a settlement for goats killed by
poisoned feed. We checked him
out. He hadn’t even bought the
same type feed for his goats,
but he wanted to be paid just the
same.”
INSPECTORS are down-to-
earth people who make boo-boos
like everybody else. The claim
is easily demonstrated.
“A couple of our men went
into a remote area to check the
fertilizer being dispensed by an
airplane,” McDonald recalled.
“Briefly, they got lost in the
boondocks. The pilot knew they
were coming and began looking
for them. He soon spotted them,
waggled his wings to attract their
attention, then led them back to
civilization.”
