PART 742--COTTONSEED WAREHOUSES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 742.31  Care of cottonseed in storage.

    Each warehouseman shall at all times exercise such care in regard to 
cottonseed in his custody as a reasonably careful owner would exercise 
under the same circumstances and conditions. He shall also equip his 
warehouse with thermometers to determine the temperature of the 
cottonseed while in storage and shall make readings of the thermometers 
with such frequency as the Administrator or his representatives may 
direct, and permanently record the same, but in no event shall such 
readings be made less frequently than every third working day. If the 
cottonseed attains a temperature of 110 deg. F. the warehouseman shall 
immediately take such action as is necessary to lower the temperature. 
If the depositor of the cottonseed or any other person to whom he may 
have transferred title or interest in the cottonseed desires to make 
temperature determinations he shall be permitted to do so in company 
with the warehouseman or the warehouseman's representative.
