handling of sanples of cottonseed. 
(a) Sanpling before unloading, — Portions shall be drawn at dif- 
ferent points in each end and in the niddle of the car with a suitable

Whether drawn before or during unloading tho several portions 
drawn fron car lots shall total not less than 50 pounds in weight, 
(c) Sanpling of truck or wagon seed. — In drawing sanples of truck 
or wagon loads of cottonseed, the sane nethods shall be usod as in sampl- 
ing car lots before unloading. The total weight of the portion drawn 
shall be not less than 2 l/2 pounds for each ton of seed in the load, 
(d) Handling sanples,— Sanplers shall be provided with netal con- 
tainers with close-fitting covers large enough to hold 60 or 70 pounds of
