5957. By Mr. HARRISON: Do you take out a bag in sampling?—Yes.

5958. Do you think it is possible for sub-agents to have a running bulk sample from a farmer?—I do not think so. Each bag I think should be sampled on its merits.

5959. I asked you that question on account of your having been receiving agents for a mercantile firm. Do you think under that system the number of samples that would have to be taken of the various qualities would make it impracticable?—I think every bag should be sampled and judged on its merits.
