1Opinion of the CourtMontgomery, Presiding Judge
The appellants are importers of garlic, which comes into the country with the tops remaining, braided together in strings by "means of the stalk. It is claimed by the importers that this straw or stalk used to tie the garlic together is allowable as tare. There is *172some testimony that in case tbe stalk is insufficient for the purpose additional straw or stalk removed from other garlic is added, but the general practice is to take the garlic as it is harvested and use the top or stalk to braid the same into strings, and these strings are packed in the box or barrel for shipment.
