Abstract

These Rules concern proper conditions of handling and storage of cotton lint and seed cotton during ginning and baling of such lint. They also require seed cotton delivered for ginning to be kept separate in the prescribed grades and require the holder of a ginning licence to gin all cotton up to the capacity of the ginnery which may be delivered to him or her for ginning and to commence ginning so as to ensure that all the seed required for planting shall be in possession of those responsible for its distribution to growers by the dates prescribed by the Minister. The Director (as defined in the Act) or any person authorized in writing under section 14 of the Act may prohibit the working of any ginnery unless he or she is satisfied that ginning is being conducted in accordance with these Rules.
