lie in some plan to sell cotton on net
weight SO that the farmer will not
lose more than at present for bagging
and ties. AS it now stands the tare
taken off the weight of each bale is
thirty pounds in European countries,
and twenty-five pounds in England,
while the actual weight of bagging
and ties is seldom over 81 pounds,
but often under that figure. The re-
duction to twenty-five pounds tare by
the English spinners last year was
brought about through the efforts OF
the Farmers Union and has resulted
in great saving to the cotton farm
ers, but the majority of the American
cotton is sold on the Continent and
hence the necessity for extending the
change to European spinners.
