There is a general movement in favor
of light-weight cotton bales, say from l'O
to 200 pounds, the first figure being gen
orally preferred. 1t is pointed out tha'
these small parcels are easily handled BY
carrying, or readily tossed on truck BY
one or two men, ard hence would not DO
SO much rolled in the dirt and mud as the
heavy bales are. Also, that the covering
of a small bale, being subjected to mucn
less strain, need not be so strong as .
required to protect bale of 400 to 0oV
| pounds. The contention that the Dig
bale policy saves time, is met by inc
answer that a little bale policy Wouiu
present the staple in market IL
so much better condition tna'
the extra labor in making the small oais
would be much more than compensate,
for in the enhanced price cotton wouiO
command by reason of its superior pro
servation. The small bale, if adopteu'
will literally ruin the begging mopopoH,
so say the small bale advocates. In 81!
