There is, besides, great uncertainty as to
the auitableness Of this thin 3-pound cotton
bagging as proper protection Of cotton
against weather and dirt. and the great prob
ability also that ell cotton for export may,
when it reaches the vessel, have to be recov-
cred at the expense of the interior seller.
When it has been arranged with the mar
kets of the world to take cotton at actual
tore, it may be we'll, possibly, for planters
to cover their cotton with cotton covering;
but until this has been satisfactorily adjust
ed the result Of this new departure may
prove to be q serious loss to the South, and
it will be we'll for our people to go slowly
until it has been positively established with
the trade as to this very important matter.
We would suggest that the planters cores
pond with the Cotton Exchanges, and, II
possible, arrange to have tare of cotton cov-
ering determined. This will require time.
but it is better to start right than, by taking
the chances, to lose millions. The motto
with our farmers should be: "Be sure you
are right, and then go ahead" and they
should not allow prejudice to get the bet

the following circular, which may perhaps
be of interest to the cotton growers Of the
State:

The average quantity required of 45-inch
wide jute bagging per bale is 6! yards, or
for 100000 crop 45,ooo,ooo yards. The
quotations to-day for l3-pound basging (the
weight generally used) are Ssc New York, 81
