endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of

"a, -Apri. 10. 1895, with Z view Of ac-
complishing needed reforms In the
preparation OF American cotton for

the best means for realizing it in the
following preamble and resolutions:
WAEREAs. experience teaches that
N most instances the quality Of the
oaRg1ng used IS inferior, and the man
ner Of covering the bale insufficient to
thoroughly protect the cotton from
damage during its transit from the
plantation to the spinner; and
WMEREAs. uniform size bale will
facilitate the handling and transpor-
tation Of cotton and insure to the mu-
tual benefit Of both the producer and
consumer. We recommend to all gin
ners the adoption Of : press box e
inches In width by s. inches in length;
Be it
Reooeeed, That we recommend to the
producer, ginner and packer, the use
OF bagging and ties weighing not less
than two pounds and mot more than
two and one-quarter pounds to the
yard, and that sufficient bagging Be
used to cover the bale without lap.

dered % - 70 allow for clear and dis

That six ties to the bale be used
made Of the best material, weighing
mot less than forty-five nor more thar
1lfty pounds to the bundle Of thirty
tfes Of eleven and one-half feet II
length.
That We urge upon farmers the ne
cessity Of the reforms set forth and re
quest the manufacturers Of bagging
ties and cotton presses to conform =
theee recommendation.
That compressed bale to Be consid
cred standard shall have . shipsid'
dsnsity Of at least e1k pounds per Gu
bic foot and eight bands weighing y
average Of ~ pounds per band.
That in the compressment OF cotto
bales to secure the better condition Q
packages sample hole patch Is rex
Ommended, and that only sound MI
terial be used and suficient In sir
only to cover the sample hole.
That this convention urge upon tn
railroads that they decline to receiv
