A new method of labelling bales of flax and putting on the grades' marks is being introduced by the Agricultural Department. Flaxmillers will be required to insert in the middle of every bale a tag made of tin, stamped with their own bra.nd, and connected by •means of a piece of stout wire with a leather bag, similarly stamped, on the outside of the bale. The grader will impress his mark on this, and it will then be practically impossible to exchange the marks, a practice which is temptingly easy tvith the present system of graders' tags made of parchment and tied to the outside of bhe bale with string. Tie new device is to be compulsory from September Ist, and, in the meantime, specimens will be on view, at all the offices of the Department, and in the care of all stock inspectors througllout the colony.
