JUDICIAL DECISIONS Purpose of section is to inform a purchaser of the percentage of components in each sack of fertilizer. Terry v. Swift & Co., 21 Ga. App. 431, 94 S.E. 658 (1917) (decided under former Code 1910, § 1772). Sale of fertilizer not void for noncompliance. - Where a vendor of fertilizer in this state sells certain sacks of fertilizer which were not tagged or

branded, the failure to comply with the former provisions did not render the sale void and did not render a mortgage note given by the purchaser to the vendor for the purchase price of the fertilizer void and unenforceable. Blackshear Mfg. Co. v. Perry, 48 Ga. App. 355, 172 S.E. 585 (1934) (decided under former Ga. L. 1929, p. 228).
