package, if there be one through which the required information on
the immediate container
can CANNOT be clearly read, a label bearing

(I)   the name and address of the manufacturer, registrant, or per-
son for whom manufactured;

(II)  the name, brand, or trade mark under which said article is

(III)  the net weight or measure of the content subject, however,
to such reasonable variations as the State Chemist may permit.

(3) any pesticide which contains any substance or substances in

colored as provided by regulations issued in accordance with this
sub-title, or any other white powder pesticide which the State
Chemist, after investigation of and after public hearing on the neces-
sity for such action for the protection of the public health and the
feasibility of such coloration or discoloration, shall, by regulation,
require to be distinctly colored or discolored; unless it has been so
colored or discolored; provided, that the State Chemist may exempt
any pesticide to the extent that it is intended for a particular use or
uses from the coloring or discoloring required or authorized by this
section if he determines that such coloring or discoloring for such
use or uses is not necessary for the protection of the public health.

of this sub-title;

relative to formulas of products acquired by authority of Section 137
