The Executive Committee of Com-
modity Credit Corporation has adopt-
ed! the following interpretations in
respect to certain terms in the pro-
visions of “Instructions) C. C. C.
Form 1”:
1. Term “marks” as used in para-
graph 12 to include tags. In this
connection warehouse 'receipts need
not. state grade in their written or
printed terms but must state weight.
2. In connection with the provis-
ions of paragraph 14, lending agen-
cies and subsequent holders of eligi-
ble -paper will necessarily have to
carry a risk as to the un-insurable
portion of the loan in ctases where in-
surance coverage cannot be obtained
for the full amount of the loan.. This
risk should be small -i-n view of the
fact that such lending agencies and
holders will doubtless know the qual-
ity of the cotton pledged as collater-
al to paper held by them.
3. “Eligible cotton” as used in
paragraph 1. Dound bales are eligi-
ble. Middling tinges and strict low
middling spotted cotton acceptable on
same basis as low middling.
4. ,‘Producer” as used in para-
graph 1 .includes share croppers.
The following interpretations have
also been made of certain terms used
in the loan agreement, C. C. C.
FORM A:
A. The terms “federal agency of
