REGULATIONS FOR
STORING COTTON SEED
P R 0 M U I. GATED
Under the Warehouse Act by;
Secretary of Agriculture.
OFFICIALS SAY MAY SEEM
DRASTIC TO SOME
Under the Regulation Only
What is Know as “Prime”
Cotton May be
Stored.
Regulations for the storage of cot
ton seed under the United States
Warehouse act have been promulgat
ed by the secretary of agriculture, ef
fective immediately, the department
announced today. This action has been
taken after extended investigations
relating to the storage qualities of
cotton seed and the kind' of structures
and equipment for proper storage. Re
quests for such a' ’on have been fil
ed with the depa. nt during the
past several years . arious cotton
seed interests and bai O ' interested
in financing this product.
Under the regulations c>G/, vhat is
generally known as “primd*" Mton
seed may be stored. The regu 'ns
do not apply to seed stored for
stock purposes, but solely to ti.at
stored for commercial purposes.
Department officials say, that while
the regulations may seem drastic to
some, it ias felt that any less strict
regulations would tend to defeat the
prime purpose of storage under this
law. That purpose is the same for
cotton seed as for any other product
storable under the law; sound collat
eral for loan purposes.
Before the regulations were prom
ulgated a preliminary draft was dis
cussed with bankers, cotton seed oil
and crusher interests and members
of the Federal Reserve board. Every
precaution has been taken to make the
warehouse receipt ssound and accep
table collateral.
While the Fedreal Reserve board
sometime ago ruled that cotton seed,
when stored under proper conditions,
is a non-perishable, readily market
able staple agricultural product with
in the meaning of the Federal Reserve
act, at a recent conference held in the
offices of the Federal Reserve board,
it developed that cotton seed very
frequently is stored in warehouses
owned by the smeaeplopeffiETAOl
owned by the same people that actu
ally own the seed. Under previous
rulings of the board, it was necessary
in such cases for the warehouses to
be leaved to parties having no inter
est in the product in storage. This re
quirement could easily be met, but
the board’s ruling also required that
the borrower should not have access
to the premises in which the cotton
seed was stored. As cotton seed oil
men'are frequently the bororwers, and
as cotton seed has a tendency to heat,
if not of proper moisture content, they
felt they should have the right to in
spect the seed from time totime so as
to protect their own interests. This
phase the board considered further
and ruled on August 23 as follows:
“Bankers’ acceptances secured
by cotton seed stored in a ware
house owned by the owne rof the
cotton seed but leased to an inde
pendent public warehouse cor
poration under bona fide lease,
the corporation assuming ex
clusive control and management
of such warehouse and operating
it as a public warehouse bonded
and licensed under the United
States Warehouse act, may be
.eligible for rediscount at a Fed
eral reserve bank, altohugh the
owners of the cotton seed are
permitted access to the seed in
storage at proper and reasonable
times for the purpose only of in
specting the condition of the
seed, provided that on all such
occasions the consent of the in
dependent warehouse corpora
tion is (first secured and that the
owner of the seed or his repre
sentative is accompanied by a
proper representative of the
warehouse corporation.”
The department of agriculture of
ficials state that the department’s
regulatiojV are in complete harmony
with the ruling of the Federal Re
serve board.

The extent and the variety of the
. commodities handled by the Central
of Georgia railway in freight service
• are discussed in a statement issued by
. President L. A. Downs, today. Ib
, says that last year manufactured
products made up the largest single
; item handled by his railroad. These
, amounted to 31 per cent, of the ton
, nage for the year, and included cot
. ton factory products; oils; brick; su
gar; wagons, carriages, tools and ag
. ricultural inplcments; cement and
brick; pig iron and manufactured in a

Products of mines made up the next
largest item of Central of Georgia
; tonnage, amounting to 28 per cent.
These included: anthracite and bitu
minous coal, coke, orcs, stone, sand,
etc.
Forest products, amounting to 21
per cent, made up Ihe third largest
item of th'- railroad’s tonnage, and
included principally lumber, turpen
tine and rosin.
Products ol agriculture made up on
ly 13 per cent, of tin- Central’s 1925

Fallow or South Broad street was the
j wen? of a pretty marriage service
Wadnesday afternoon at three-thirty,
when Miss Ida Farrow became the
bride <1 Marvin N. Dodson, of Troy,
i Ala. Only the immediate families and
a very lew close friends were pres
ent.
The home was beautifully decorated
; in a color scheme of green and white
carried out in ferns and white roses.
Mrs. Duke Espy presided at the
' piano, accompanied by Mrs. H. D.
Brown violinist. Preceding the cere
mony “Souvenir” by Frank Dradla

i accompaniment. To the strains of
Mendelssohn’s wedding march, the
. bride and groom entered unattended
. and stood before an improvised altar
of ferns and white roses lighted by
tall white tapers.
The ceremony including the ring
. service was impressively performed
by Rev. J. G. Hunt, the bride’s
. pastor.
During the ceremony, Robert
Schumann’s “Traumerei” was softly
rendered by Mesdames Espy and
- Brown.
. The bride was lovely in a traveling
• cCstuine in an advanced winter model
of eharmecn trimmed in tan embroid-
f < ry and fur with accessories ensemble
. Sh" wore an elaborate corsage of or -
■ chids and valley lilies.

Mrs. Dodson is the youngest daugh
.lter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Farrow and
: has enjoyed a wide popularity in social
/ civic and church ciriles, where she will
,: be greatly missed. She was a member
| 1 of the graduation class of 1915 of the

i ied comemn ial art. For more than
, I five years she has been local editor of

. her marriage takes her to a distant
city.
Mr. Dodson is the eldest son of C. F.

; Troy’s best citizens and most success
siful business men. He is editor of the
- i “Troy Messenger,” a daily of splendid

e club life and fraternal circles. He was
-a representative in the legislature for
- the term of 1914-18,
tii Amid the usual showers of rice, old
s shoes and hearty good wishes the bride
- and groom left for a tour of the east
p coast visiting Washington, Philadel-
i phia, New York City and other points
'of interest.
