today, about twenty-five members being
present:
AS the packing of square bales Of
cotton has been done in boxes OF irreg-
ular size and much of it covered with
sugar sacks and patched bagging,
thereby rendering such i~rregularity in
size and covering unsatisfactory to the
planters and ginners Of our tributary
country the importance of adopting the
54x24 box, making uniform packages
Of square bales. We also recommend
the use OF two-pound bagging as a
covering.
This will give to the trade uniform
ity in the size Of square bales and a
satisfactory, and will enable thes pro-
ducers to get better net results for
their cotton. The cost Of change is
small and the benefits to be derived
very great.
