Any owner of grain desiring to store it shall make a written application to the State Department of Agriculture indicating where the grain is stored, the kind of structure in which stored and the encumbrance on the grain, if any. The application shall be signed and sworn to by the applicant. Whenever any grain is owned by more than one owner, the application shall be signed by all having an interest in the grain. In case such grain is mortgaged, the application for inspection shall be signed by the owner. The department in its discretion may require the mortgagee, mortgagor or any other person having an interest in the grain to sign applications or other documents required in carrying out this chapter.
