The charge made for grading this cotton 1h quite noi utal, being ouly JMk; per bale and ? momiiM to practically nothing when ..m- takes Into oenaidertttton the dlf t eremc between grades, It 1m certainly a most unwise and on* business-like policy for the farmer to come in and sell his cottou without taking the trouble to find out what lie Iuih. and he would never offer his cot 1 9)t without flrHl having It graded .oithl he realUM* thin numerous volun ? tary reports received by t*hu Govern meut grader* dally from farmery who testify that having fcbelr cotton graded ) > gov eminent mailers has saved them 1 torn $r> to j^B per hale.
