MACHINERY FOR SEWING BAGS 



^lachines recently designed for closing 

 sugar bags which have been filled, are made 

 in three sizes for dealing with bags and 

 varying capacities. These machines make 

 the double thread chain stitch. In order to 

 secure conveniences, they are usually run 

 electrically so that they can be moved from 

 one place to another. Each machine has a 

 conveyor upon the belt of which the filled 

 bags are placed as they are taken from the 

 weighing machine, and the bags are thus 

 carried to the operator who guides them 

 through the machine. Cutting of the thread 

 is ingeniously provided for and there is no 

 delay as the bags go through. According 

 to Sugar (January, 1914), it would appear 

 that an extremely tight seam is made and 

 the produce placed in the bag cannot leak 

 at the seam despite rough-handing in stor- 

 age or in transit. 



It is interesting to learn that the bags 

 can be darned and patched on these ma- 

 chines. This means a great saving in time, 

 and results in a stronger and superior class 

 of mending. — Agricultural Nezvs.

Mr. C. CzarniKow, London, February 

 19th, says : "Further contracts for Cuba 

 sugars are quite likely to be made for the 

 United Kingdom during the next few 

 months." 



Hence it would seem that the American 

 refiners will be subject to competition for 

 Cuba sugars right along, which, no doubt, 

 means a steadiness of prices wdiich might 

 not be maintained otherwise under the ac- 

 cumulating production of the island. — Wil-
