Abstract: Excerpts from the report: During the crop years of 1948 and 1949, and later during 1952, 1953, and 1954; the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) acquired large quantities of flaxseed in the operation of the price support program. A large proportion of this was crushed for linseed oil and stored for periods up to 5 years prior to sale. This project is concerned primarily with analysis of data available for the linseed oil acquired by CCC prior to and during the years of 1953 and 1954, with particular attention to deterioration in quality during storage that might influence the market value of the oil. Other objectives include determination of factors that affect the rate of deterioration of quality of oil in storage, and the costs of this decrease in relation to other costs of storage.
