favorable indeed and We increased

Il want to urge upon all those

There are millions upon millions OF

IL they are covered up by turning the
land many of them will die. il the

bankers and merchants will take up
with their customers the question of

spirit, 1 firmly believe that we can

charged back to the producer in
lower prices or in weight claims, dis
proportionate to the actual loss. is the
use at a 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
NOW or stack for considerable time
there is likely to be loss in weight
while hay is in storage after baling,
due to additional loss of moisture.
Each purchaser desires, and has a
right to obtain, the actual quantity of
hay for which he pays. If the bales
are found to be short of the weight
specified upon the tags there are
grounds for claim, either in the
form of price concession or of a
weight claim. In either case the adj
justment of the claim is likely to be
less economical to the producer than
the actual reweighing of the hay.
The producer or shipper should be
prepared to prove that the weight of
the hay at time of sale is correct and
as indicated upon the tag.
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 good working or
der. Accurate weights cannot be OBJ
tanned on scales that are out of order.
Wagon scales should be inspected
by competent inspector
and care should be taken to see that
