  2.  Where a negotiable receipt has been lost or destroyed by the warehouseman, the director may, upon proof of such loss or destruction, require the warehouseman to sign an affidavit stating that the receipt has been lost or destroyed and cannot be produced for cancellation and that delivery or payment in full for the grain represented by the receipt has been made to the holder and that the warehouseman has not negotiated the receipt for value.  The director may request the person to whom the receipt was issued or the person to whom the original holder negotiated the receipt to sign an affidavit stating that he has received delivery or payment in full for the grain represented by the receipt and that the receipt was willingly and truthfully presented to the warehouseman for cancellation.
