DETAILS OF THE TESTS AT THE WIDE SETTING. 
The machinery Avas 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.
