llBntlon The R»t1»w whwi yog write. 



ducing and Kbipping center of the United States, 

 is that the bag it the most desirable package in 

 which to make shipment of onion sets. 



2. Onion sets in bags can be delivered more 

 easily and quickly and the bags have a longer 

 life as a container than one made of wood or 

 other material. 



3. Onion sets in proper condition and under 

 proper inspection shipped in bags will remain 

 sound if shipped to any part of the United States; 

 on the other hand, if they are soft or sprouting 

 and have not been properly cured, they will 

 deteriorate and rot, irrespective of the package 

 In which shipped. The losses that have occurred 

 ^hen shipped in bags have been either due to 

 delays in transit or lack of ventilation. Inas- 

 much as probably ninety per cent of the entire 

 Bhlpments go out in sacks, it is natural that the 

 greater apparent loss is on shipments made in 

 Backs. 



4. During the shipping season our experience 

 has been that we were unable to secure other 

 than bag containers in the quantity and at the 

 times needed, and owing to the perishable char- 

 acter of the goods every delay is serious. 



6. The weight of a bag is one-twelfth that of 

 1 wooden container for a like quantity of onion 

 sets. For instance, a two-bushel bag weighs 

 1(^88 than one pound, a one-bushel cra^e of wood 

 ^''eighs from six to eight pounds. 



6. That the cost of a wooden crate as com- 

 I'ared with the cost of a bag carrying a like 

 'iuantity of onion sets is greater by at least 

 '■'JO per cent.

Therefore, be it 



RESOLVED, By the Onion Set Shippers of 

 Cook County, Illinois, that we are unalterably 

 opposed to discontinuing the bag as a container 

 for onion set shipments for the reasons above set 

 forth, but are ready and willing, as we have 

 always been, to ship in wooden crates or barrels 

 or baskets wh*re the purchaser so desires, and 

 we now earnestly urge that you do not order the 

 discontinuance of the use of bags as containers 

 for onion set shipments. We further resolve that 

 the bag as a shipping container should be re- 

 tained for all shipments, and onion sets in bags 

 take the same classification as heretofore.
