dried and the other machine-dried. The figures 

 are as follows : 



These figures show that artificial drying results 

 in less shrinkage of the bean than sun-drying, and 

 consequently a very large increase in the higher 

 grades of the consignment. A glance at the tables 

 will show how very regular the proportions are in 

 the artificially-dried, as compared with the sun- 

 dried, consignments. To take the Bold size foi 

 example, the sun-dried varies from 17 per cent, to 

 56 per cent. a range of 39 whereas the artifi- 

 cially-dried varies only from 58 per cent, to 70 per 

 cent. a range of 12. 



The averages of the tables compare as follows : 



NOTE. The Peaberry in Uganda-cleaned contains a certain percentage 

 of Bold. To separate very large Flats and Peaberry, a special 

 machine is used in London. Hence the smaller percentage of 

 Peaberry shown in London-cleaned.
