DETAILS OF THE TESTS AT THE WIDE SETTING. 



The machinery was run for approximately one full day on each 

 bale at the 23 to 25 per cent setting, and test weighings were made at 

 a little less than hourly intervals. The uniform quality of each bale 

 is again shown, the variations being little greater than at the closer 

 setting'.
