 American cotton bagging returned to the United States after the 

 utilization in foreign countries of the American cotton. 



Foreign cotton seed is permitted entry only through the port of Ca- 

 lexico and from cotton grown in the Imperial Valley, Lower Califor- 

 nia. The restrictions on the entry of cottonseed cake and meal are due 

 to the fact that such products frequently carry uncrushed cotton seeds. 

 The entry of cottonseed oil is not restricted except as to its entry

 entry of such oil at border ports of Mexico are placed certain restric- 

 tions intended to prevent the entry with the oil carriers of cotton seed 

 and cotton insects.
