II correctly informed there is o
tare of so pounds deducted from
every bale of cotton sold by the
planter. If the planter puts on every
bale six yards of two pound bag
giug aud six ties, all of which weighs
21 pounds. then there is a total loss
to the planter OF nine pounds per
bale. AS there seems TO be a desire
on the part of many of the buyers
of cotton TO join hands with domes-
tic mills and European buyers "a
make additional deductions at their
discretion, the executive committed
Of the Farmers Union OF South

We further urge that this matter
be taken up by the national union
which meets early in September. and
such action be taken by that body

The State says there Is dissatis-

ter Is reported to have been con-
sidered at recent meetings OF the

the foreign shippers allow q tare
margin OF 80 pounds on a 5oO-pound

The buyers and shippers are said
to have formed an agreement among
themselves to allow only 81 pounds
to the bale.
In this connection the Farmers
Union has issued a circular letter in
which the grievance Is presented to
the farmers with a view to taking
some action relative thereto. Some
action was taken at the last meet
