(4) Each warehouse must have on hand at all times sufficient labor and tools to turn the cones in all lots as often as is necessary to allow the expansion of all pine cones as they go through their natural ripening process.

(5) The maximum number of bushels of pine cones that may be stored in any lot shall be determined by the Commissioner of Agriculture or his duly authorized representatives.

(6) All receipts representing pine cones stored in any warehouse shall be so worded as to put the holder on notice of the change of the physical structure and color in the ripening process, and when the seed thereof is separated from the physical structure of the stored commodity.

(7) Each receipt shall represent only the number of bushels of pine cones stored in one lot.

(8) Not more than one receipt shall be issued for pine cones stored in any lot.
