was no way to fight them and 50 thav

which the farmers had to paw. Nov
the American Cotton Companv With
Its Koundlap bale is in the field and i
IS so revoIationizing the cotton band0
ling business that many of the old ax-
penses are necessarily wiped out. The
farmers must inevitably get a large
snare OF this saving, but the cd com
press people and the bagging and tie
trust are raising great commotion
against the American Cotton Comnanv
as though they bad always been the
friends OF the farmer. Unfortnnete1v
Tor them they never played the friendly
act before and now the farmers douht
the sincerity of their repentance.
The Roundup bale is the trade ,,,.l-
name given by the American Cotton
Company to Its round bale to d1stinp-
nlsh 1t from all other bales. The cot
ION mills OF New England and Of En-
rope are eager buyers of this bale be-
