A patent has been issued for a new cover
ing for cotton bales, which the inventor
thinks will come into very general use. The
inventor has attempted to supply an article
which Will at once serve as a cheap and
satisfactory covering for cotton and do away
with the necessity for ties. The King bale
covering, as it is called, consists of thick
fabric which looks like coarse paper, It is
manufactured from the fiber Of the cotton
stalk. and is said TO be fre-proof. Over this
is stout wire netting, which, it is claimed,
gives the covering sufficient strength to
hold the closest pressed bale without the aid
OF ties. The cost of this compound baggiDg
Is somewhat greater than that of lutte at
legitimate prices, but less than the COM
bined price Of jute bagging and ties. The
manufacture Of the article has not vet been
undertaken, because the inventor has not
the requisite means, but he hopes to organ
lze company strong enough to put large
quantities OF his patent bagging on the
market before the next cotton crop is
gathered,
