Oklahoma City Times-Journal: Cotton
handlers do not believe that the round
bale system is going to succeed-that is,
a big majority of them do not. one mnst
know something of the methods of hand
ling cotton for shipment and also some
thing of its peculiar characteristics. The
round bale when it comes from the gin
is neat and attractive and captures those
who know little about cotton, but the eX-
perienced cotton shipper finds a good ma
ny objections TO the round bale. In the
first place the round bale does not COM
press-that IS the cotton is not reduced
to the compactness of the compressed
square bale When packed in vessels for
shipment the cotton is crowded into the
hold with lack screws If this were done
20 the round bale the bales would give
away. Cotton men say, too, that COM
pressed cotton Dare not De eNposeu 10
weather as it absorbs water and is thus
made useless. Whereas an uncompressed I
bale will not absorb water, nor will water
penetrate it to greater depth than an inch.
So they argue that should the round bale I
finally become as compact as the square
bale, II would have disadvantages. it is
necessary in handling cotton 10 leave L
out in all kinds Of weather until IL is col
lected at the compress. After being COM
pressed it is better cared for. II COM
pressed al the gins II would be necessary
TO build big sheds for storing IL or run
the risk OF injury through the rain. There
is little probability OF the round bale
process crowding out the old system.
