^c^jinds of material in the bags, handling was greatly facilitated. Greater 

 ease in closing the polyethylene bag resulted inasmuch as it was possible 

 to tie a knot in the polyethylene bag for a rapid, secure closure. It 

 seems that 65 pounds is the best weight for ease of handling; slLso, this 

 size package fits between freezer plates more readily than a 100-pound size.
