HOW MUCH IN BALE
 0F HAY; JAW DON'T
 SAY SAYS INSPECTOR

PHOENIX. Feb. F. A bale pf
 hay" may have different meanings in
 Arizona. according to F B. Dyas. state
 inspector of weights and measures.
 who objects to the clause in th.. stat
 ute which permits hay being sold by the bale without the weigh, being stamped on each bale.
 . Mr. Dyas believes that the legisla. ture should rectify this section of the code either by amendment or wipinc out the provision which does not re- quire the weight mark in an agree meHi sale.
 Under the present law this is un- necessary. in accordance with an opin- ion rendered yesterday by w J. Gal braith. attorney general. in which he says:
 Section 553s. Revised Statutes O. Arizona. I3l3, Civil Code. provides. among other things. that it shall be unlawful to sell or offer for sale any ha!ed hay in any other manner than by weight. except by an agreement be- tween the seller and the purchaser 70 -he contrary" And said section fur l her provides that where hay is sold n bales. each of such bales shall have printed or stamped or marked there | 'n the correct weight or such bale ip | pounds or fractions of pound avoir. iupois"
 We are Of the opinion that where he seller and purchaser enter into In agreement for the sale and pur .hase of baied hay on any basis other han by weight. that it is unnecessary or such seller to mark the weight m bales of hay sold under the terms f such agreement. and that in doing | O the seller would not be violating he provisions of Section 553s Reyis- d Statutes of Arizona. 1913.
