about the amount OF profit the farmer re-
celvcs OH the bagging and ties in which he

viii his statement and figures stand the
test OF close investigation, when we take
into consideration the fact that Liverpool
takes 10y hrthc largest portion OF our crop,
and, in consequence, makes the price Tor
our markets here, and every bale bought
Tor export has to stand the calculation Of
q per cent, loss in weight caused by strip
ping the bagging otr when it reaches its
destination? And Nc price paid the farm
er here is less thu cost OF bagging and
ties estimated ut about thirty pounds to
the bale. Now thirty pounds nj 10 cents,

from the bale in the price paid, then now
