ROUNDLAP COTTON BALES
To Satisfy the Demand the Entire Crop
Will Eventually Be So Baled

For once the cotton planter has an ally
among the great corporations. For years
the cotton tie ring, the bagging combine
and the compress people have all lived OIL
the cotton grower. There was no way to
fight them and so they grew rich on their
enormous profits, which the farmers had to
pay. Now the American Cotton Company
with its Roundup baleHis in the field and
it is so revoutionizing the cotton handling
business that many of the old expenses are
necessarily wiped out. The farmers must
inevitably get large share of this saving,
but the old compress people and the
bagging and tie trusts are raising a great
commotion against the American Cotton
Company as though they had always been
the friends of the farmer. Unfortunately
for them they never played the friendly
act before and now the farmers doubt the
sincerity of their repentance.
The Roundup bale is the trade mark
name given by the American Cotton Com
pany to its round bale to distinguish it
from all other bales. The cotton mills of
New England and of Europe are eager
buyers of this bale because as compared
with all other bales ii has many advan-
tages covered by broad patents, which
greatly lessen the cost of manufacture to
the mill This Roundup bale eliminates
two or three processes in manufacturing
and as the cotton mills of the world are
willing to pay more for this cotton than
any other, it naturally follows that to Sc
cure the highest prices all southern cotton
must in time be put up in this Roundup
form. Mr.. VIM. C. Lowering, one of the
most distinguished cotton mill men of New
England, says:
az do not hesitate to say that the time
is coming when the cotton manufacturers
all over the world will insist that their
cotton shall be delivered to them in the
form of n Roundlap bale"
