worked out many of the problems
which our farmers will encounter and

THE ROUND BALE AGAIN.

Is the round cotton bale to have
another inning? Asks the Ft. Worth
Record.
There Is every appearance that the
Farmers Union may get In behind
the despised and defeated package.
The controversy between Railroad
Commissioner Storey and the union
leaders may be something more than
summer diversion or contest In
the logic of rate.making.
when the round bale process was
introduced few years ago the own
ers of the patents and the makers
of the machinery INDUCED the wild
ambition of absolutely controlling
the whole business of ginning, press
ing and marketing cotton. They
would not agree to sell their presses
or they put IA prohibitiye price on
them. The purpose was to actually
own and operate the ginning and
pressing establishments.
That was monopoly fearsome to
contemplate. and the south was sus
picious. Ginners cav the ruin oi
their business and farmers were In
active sympathy with them.
Owners OF square bale presses
manufacturers of the machinery, rep
resenting many millions of invest
/ ment, had common interest In re
/ sisting the innovation, and they were
quick to take advantage of the popu
| lar prejudice against an undertak
/ ing that looked like gigantic mono
poly.
BESIDES. the round bale was new
thing. and It had the candicap of al
new things Spinncrs were skepucaI
rail and steamship rates were base'
on square packages and the entir'
cotton business from the field to
the loom was accustomed to the oil
way.
| All these conditions conspired dis

and millions of investment were los
or languished.
hut the round bale people hav
learned something. They can man,
facture cheaper. they are willing I
sell. they are resolved to make al
other effort. Some new companie
have come into the field with presse
similar and cheaper than the oil
Spinners nave learned to like th
round bale. steamships make a pre-
erential rate, and few round ba
establishments that survived the ge
eral disaster have been making goo
profits.
Therefore, the request OF the Farr
ers' Union for a hearing before Il
railroad commission In behalf OF
lower rate on round bale cotton WI
significant. The quick reply to judi
Storey and the talk among membe
OF the union attending the Fo
Worth convention are more signi
.s cant.

Z farmers in other cotton states mi
