For ginning very long staples, such as Sea Island, what is known as a roller gin is used. This is done to prevent cutting the fiber, which may occur with the saw gin. Before shipment to distant markets, the bale is compressed to one half its size. The round bale is compressed at the gin. The square bales are covered with what is known as bagging, which is made of jute in most cases and is usually a very poor covering. The bale is bound by six steel ties. The average American cotton bale present...s a very ragged appearance. Some sections are using bet- ter coverings for their cotton bales, and especi- ally is this true where the round bale press is used.
