This law lets the Department of Agriculture reuse money from selling old cotton samples. That includes cotton bought to make copies of standards but found unsuitable. The money can buy replacement cotton for making new standard copies.

This section lets money from certain cotton sales be recycled to buy more cotton. Section 56 of this title describes buying cotton to prepare physical copies of the official cotton standards. This section covers two sources of money: money from selling cotton that was bought for that purpose but turned out unsuitable and was condemned, and money from selling the standard copies themselves. Either of those amounts may be spent on buying more cotton to use for the same purpose, preparing copies of the cotton standards.

Any moneys received from or in connection with the sale of cotton purchased for the preparation of the copies mentioned in section 56 of this title and condemned as unsuitable for such use or with the sale of such copies may be expended for the purchase of other cotton for such use.
