ID STANDARD|zE THE COTTON BALE Department of Agriculture Is Seeking Infor-
 nation

Washington, January 14.-Information which will lead to the standardization of the American cotton bale and to the uni being sought by the department of agri- culture.
 "To bring about this uniformity will be a matter of education," said Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant and industry today. It seems to be gen orally agreed that the present tare taken on American cotton is excessive; but the deplorable condition of the American cot ton bale is largely responsible. The American cotton planter must be edu- cated up to the fact-and it will take considerable time, no doubt, to do this that he cannot expect the best possible prices for his product as long as the buyer must tear a half dozen holes In the cover to determine the quality of the product within
 We are seeking information from va rious sources as to how our cotton bale should be covered, the character and weight of the material to be used in this cover and the kind and number of ties, together with the approximate net weight of the whole. We have been doing con siderable work among the farmers in try ing to teach them what to do, but it will require much work.
 "If, when a bale of American cotton reached foreign market, the buyer could be sure without tearing the cover to look inside that the cotton was of a fixed quality and length, our troubles in thls direction would be about at an end. Col onization in cotton farming, that Is, get ting all the farmers in certain section to plant the same kind of cotton and then to market it together, is one of the ways in which we hope gradually to secure the desired uniformity which will mean to our southern farmers fully 100000 more year for their product than they now secure"
