TITLE 7--AGRICULTURE
CHAPTER 32--PEANUT STATISTICS
Sec. 951. Collection and publication; facts required; submission
of report
The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized and directed to collect
and publish statistics of raw peanuts, shelled, unshelled, and crushed,
and peanut oil, in the United States, received, processed, shipped, and
owned by or in the possession of warehousemen, brokers, cleaners,
shellers, dealers, growers' cooperative associations, crushers, salters,
manufacturers of peanut products, and owners other than the original
producers of peanuts: Provided, That the Secretary may, in his
discretion, omit for any period of time to collect such statistics from
any or all salters of peanuts or manufacturers of peanut products who
used, during the calendar year preceding that for which statistics are
being collected, less than thirty thousand pounds of shelled and
unshelled peanuts. Such statistics shall show the quality of peanuts in
such details as to kinds--Virginias, Runners, Spanish, and imported
varieties--as the Secretary shall deem necessary for the purposes of
this chapter. All reports shall be submitted monthly in each year,
except as otherwise prescribed by the Secretary.
