Sound Sense from MIR. Steele.
SOLID REASONS WHY ROUNDLAN BALES
ARE WORTH MORE THAN SQUARE
BALES.

Mr.. j. II. w. Steele, Secretary Of the
Texas Standard Bale Compress Asso-
citation, in u letter, written to the West
Times, June 80, says: LET me say a
plain word to the plain people,: For
the same reason that you pay more for
n good coat then you pay for o ragged
and sleezy one, so will the English and
German spinner pay moro for a neat,
dense, well-cOvered bale than he will
for what is left of tho unsightly bag,
which has lost half its value by wet,
waste, piIfery and dirt"
For exactly this reason spinners pay
more for Raundlap than for square
bales of any size whatever. 1t is pre-
cisely because Roundup bales are meat,
dense, we'll covered" protected against
fire, moisture, waste, theft and damage,
that they are worth more to spinners
than al "unsightly" square bag which
has lost half its value by wet, waste,
piIfery and dirt" 1t is precisely for
this reason, also, and because of tho
savings made in the wrapping, hand
ling and shipment of Roundlap bales
that buyers are able to and do pay for
them ii premium above the value of
square bales sufficient to pay the
baling charge and leave the owner a
SUBSTANTIAL profit besides.
