;I CONTAINER FOU '
SWEET POTATOES
ggcjf . *
Clemson College, December 22.?
i Just now a great deal is being said
^ with reference to the kind of containers
best suited for ttse in storing
and shipping sweet potatoes, says F.
I* Harkey, Agent in Marketing. At
the present the dealers prefer the
hamper, but a great many growers and
storage house people are using the
* -j. n V?++oi? CTlif Prl
crate oecauae ju sevuu ??
for use in carrying the crop from the
field to the house and as a storage
container. The container question is
not definitely settled as yet. Each
agent "in marketing has been furnished
with a list of container manufacturers
in his state. County agents
and growers should communicate
with the state agent.
Sweet potatoes are shipped to market
in barrels, crates, hampers, round
'Stave baskets, and in bulk. Without
question the type of shipping container
that is nsed has appreciable influence
in sectoring fopnotch prices for
the grower. Containers must carry
well, ventilate properly, and present a
anwirondtn Q+rAn p- nackacres
OpyVMAMMW* x - of
such construction as to secure proper
ventilation cut down railroad
claims to a minimum, and attractive
containers aid in the sale of the contents.
Fewer styles of containers
and better containers are an advantage
alike to grower, shipper, carrier
and public. Too many sizes, with variation
in size barely distinguishable
to the eye, lead to misunderstandings

j The legal weight of a bushel of I
sweet potatoes varies from 4 6 pounds
in the Dakotas to 60 pounds in Maryland.
In thirteen states the legal
weight of a bushel is 50 pounds, and
in six states 55 pounds, consequently
?? " .-1-^4-^ . Kq /Jueicrnorl I

that will always hold a bushel by
I
weight. The United States DepartI
ment of Agriculture recognizes the
[volume of 2150.42 cubic inches and
its multiples and sub-divisions. Due
| to this variation in legal weight per
bushel, as well as to variations in size, !
hit is neither feasible nor desirable to j
attempt to standardize a weight j
bushel, that is, a container holding a j
bushel of sweet potatoes by weight, j
The./cost of a container is a contributing
factor to its successful in- j
troduction. Cost, however, should j
never be sacrificed if it results in the
manufacture of a weak or frail package
that will not carry- to market.
When prices are high a small container
can be used to advantage, when
low, a relatively larger package.
The United States Bureau of Markets
favors the use of containers for
sweet potatoes holding either one
bushel or one and a half bushels
standard dry measure, with the elimination
of all intervening sizes. The '
bushel crate, hamper and round basket
are already in commun use. The
first has an orange box head and 17 :
inch slats. The hamper and round
bushel are objected to by the railroads,
the claim being that they do
not load or carry well. ManufacA

to the inherent nature of these pack- j
