Editorial Notes
Amendments1957—Pub. L. 85105 amended section generally, and, among other changes, divided first sentence into two sentences, substituting “owner other than the original producer of peanuts” for “owner or operator of peanut picking or threshing machines,” and inserted “to give such reports or information” in last sentence. 1938—Act May 12, 1938, among other changes, inserted “crusher, salter, manufacturer of peanut products” after “cooperative association”.
