HOOVER TELLS OF MOVE
TO GUARD COTTONSEED
Food Administration Will Not
Permit Hoarding or Specu-
lation, He Says
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2.


Speculation and boarding In cottonseed
and its products will be checked, Food
Administrator Hoover announced today
under regulations to be issued tomorrow
governing ginners seed buyers, merchants,
in the whole process does any one receive
crushers and refners, who now are being
placed under license
Administrator Hoover said that the chief
object Of the regulations will be to protect
the producers by controlling the various
FACTORS who handle cOttonseed on its way
TO the consumer and to see that at no step
more than a reasonable profit.
The new rules will provide that mer-
chants or seed buyers shall not keep on
any quantity of cottonseed exceeding twen-
ty tons. A crusher of Cottonseed will not
be allowed to have on hand OF under con-
tract any greater quantity Of seed than is
equal to his normal crush for sixty days
nor to hold any cottonseed for n longer
period than sixty days, except during actual
operation of his mill. 1t will be unlawful
for any crushers to hold any oils for a
longer period than sixty days or to have on
hand at any time a quantity Of oil exceed
ing their production for thirty days.
Profits on airy sale Of cottouseed, cotton
seed oil, meal or cake are to be determined
not by the market or replacement value
at the time of sale, but shall he no more
than reasonable advance over the cost
and expense of doing business.
