§ 742.79 - Statement of grade; condition.


Latest version.
  • Whenever the grade or condition of the cottonseed is stated for the purposes of this act and this part, the terms used shall be correctly applied and shall be so selected as not to convey a false impression of the cottonseed. In case of doubt as to the grade or condition of a given lot of cottonseed a determination shall be made of such facts by drawing at least six samples of five (5) pounds each, fairly representative of the contents of the car, or two samples of two (2) pounds each fairly representative of the contents of the wagon from the various parts of the carload or wagonload of cottonseed offered for storage. These samples shall be thoroughly mixed and after being so mixed, from this mixture by quartering, not less than 100 grams shall be taken, which shall constitute the sample for the purpose of determining the grade.
