(a) The net weight of the contents of the package, lot, bag, sack, carton or container; or bulk lot;
Each vehicle transporting agricultural liming material not sold on a scale weight basis must have plainly marked thereon the ton weight capacity when level full, assuming a ton of agricultural liming material occupies 20 cubic feet. Such sale on other than a scale weight basis must have prior approval of the department of agriculture.
(b) The exact, complete name of the product;
(c) The name and principal address of the manufacturer or person responsible for placing the commodity on the market;
(d) The minimum neutralizing value in terms of calcium carbonate;
(e) The degree of fineness expressed as:

(2) minimum percentage passing through 60-mesh screen;
(3) minimum percentage passing through 100-mesh screen; except that in the case of marl, beet sugar factory refuse lime, paper mill refuse lime, carbide plant refuse lime, water softener refuse lime, wood ashes and other forms of waste or refuse lime the neutralizing value shall be expressed as pounds of “calcium carbonate equivalent” per cubic yard of material as delivered, and further that no guarantee need be made relative to fineness or to the net weight.
This act shall not apply to any stocks that may be in the hands of dealers in the state at the time this act goes into effect.
