Senator Borah, Republican Of Idaho,
declared he had talked with President
Harding and Secretary Hughes, and
they did not share such views.
Twelve Democrats voted for the bill
on the roll call, while II Republicans
voted in opposition. so that the Demo

Careless weighing on wagon scales
causes aS much difficulty as careless
weighing by any other method. One
| of the principal causes of unsatisfac-
tory weights upon wagon scales is lack
of proper care of the scales and Of
| the necessary attention to keep them
| in repair and IN good working order.
Accurate weights cannot be obtained
on scales that are out Of repair.
Wagon scales should be inspected fire.
quently by competent inspector and
care should be taken to see that they
are in proper adjustment and balance
before weighing any lot or load OF
| hay.
Care must be taken also to see that
the load is in proper position upon
the scales. The load should not bind
upon the scale box or building. and
if the team exerts any effect upon the
| load it should be unhitched.
When obtaining the tare weight the
weigher should be certain that the
wagon contains the same equipment
as when the gross weight was OBJ
tanned. \ good rule Is to remove eV-
erything hut the necessary equipment
| from the load before weighing.
/ Keep Bale Check When Loading.
3 yr +bo ,,,nI,.nr or chippar loads thp
hay directly into the cars care is espe-
I clally necessary to compute the total
weight correctly. Loads are frequent
! " distributed in two or more cars
because OF the variation in the quail
! ity of the hay. If the bales are
/ tagged. careful record should be
kept of the bales placed in each car.
If not tagged, the part of the load
placed in each car should be weighed
| separately. 4 careful check of the
total number of bales placed in each
car should also be kept so that the
shipper may have the proper data
! upon which 10 base claim should
any loss occur while the hay is moving
TO market.
The following suggestions, II fol-

careless weighing.
Weighing by the Bale.
In several sections of the country
it is the custom to weigh hay by the
bale at the time for baling and TO note
the weight upon tag made of card
board or other convenient material at
tached TO the bale beneath one OF the
bale ties. When weighing by this
method great care should be taken TO
weigh the hay accurately. During the
rush of baling operations sufficient
time is frequently not allowed for the
scales TO come to a balance and there
may be as much as ten pounds diff
ference between the actual and the
catch weight.
Special care should also be taken in
writing the correct weight upon the
tag, say the bureaus specialists. 1t
is the common practice in some sec
riOns to use only numbers ending in
d or ) in recording the weight, and
10 give or take from the actual weight
sufficient amount 10 make a number
with such an ending. For example,
the weight Of q bale weighing 81
pounds is written as to pounds and
that of one weighing 6S pounds as 40
pounds. The tendency, however, is
ITO take" more frequently than ito
give" 50 that it is a better practice
10 state the actual weight upon the
tag.
Another practice which is often
charged back to the producer in low
ar prices or in weight claims, diSpro-
portionate 10 the actual loss, Is the
use AT much later date Of tag
weights placed upon the hay at the
time of baling. Unless hay has been
thoroughly cured and has been in
the NOV or stack for n considerable
time there is likely to be loss in
weight while hay is in storage after
Dalng. due to additional loss OF mois-
mre. Each purchaser desires, and has
a right Ia obtain. the actual quantity
