A Royal Agricultural Society report highlights the risk farmers face from counterfeit sulphate of copper. A sample showed 14 percent copper sulphate and 85 percent iron sulphate, with the fake costing far less than genuine. The case reveals how vague orders and word omissions let inferior products pass as pure copper sulphate.
The Christie jewel theft sequel reached Wid Bailey court on the 25th with Annie Grant an actress described as the defendant. She faced charges for stealing four pearl necklaces in the case stemming from the prior Christie’s jewelry theft.
The article discusses practices in agricultural supply, noting the risk of worthless material passed off as usable, urges precision in orders, and cites Dr Voelcker on not assuming all agricultural items are adulterated. It also covers the issue of overfeeding breeding stock, judges' reluctance to reject pampered stock, and a criminal case involving a habitual thief linked to American crime networks.
