INTRODUCTION. 
This bulletin is the third of a series reviewing the work of the 
Bureau of Markets, U. 8. Department of Agriculture, in compiling 
reports of storage holdings of certain food products. 
The first of the series was U. S. Department of Agriculture Bulletin 
709, entitled ““‘Reports of Storage Holdings of Certain Food Products.” 
It described the storage work of the Bureau of Markets and the 
methods of securing the information and of compiling the reports. 
It summarized the work accomplished up to January 1, 1918, and 
reviewed the cold storage season of 1916 and 1917 for apples, butter, 
American cheese, and case eggs. It also reviewed the reports received 
during 1917 on the storage holdings of frozen and cured meats. 
The second of the series was U. S. Department of Agriculture 
Bulletin 776, entitled ““Cold Storage Reports, Season 1917-1918.” It 
reviewed the reports of that season on apples, creamery and packing 
stock butter, American cheese, case and frozen eggs, and frozen 
poultry.
