THE DISCARDED gARREL QUESTION.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: To abandon the use Of barrels for shipping
-four, as suggested in an article on The Waste OF
Discarded Barrels" signed Lincoln c Cummings,
in the August 80 issue. would be most unwise
L NJ. Cummings believes that -four barrel costs
s. he IS much mistaken # he believes that the
cost Of -four would be lower in bags or orher re
mistaken.
tlour has long been shipped IN bags OF one-siShtl
Of 4 barrel and the price is the same barrel as
the same grade shipped in barrels. a good -four
barrel costs about 80 cents after the -four has
haen used the barrel mas a value of 25 cents and
the supply has been so limited that the price paid
tor empty -four barrels was g cents
The only clean way Of shipping -four is II barrels
Follow tEe bag -four from tLs deliS=ry 70 the first
car for transporta non. then 10 the unceau freight
house floor. 10 tha uncIean delivery truck the un-
clean grocers floor. with usual odors of rubber
boots, kerosene oil! smoked ham, then 20 the
grocer delivery wagon unclean, and who can deny
that The barrel Is the only wholesome receptacle for
shipping hour2
This 'usable repeatedly" idea is entirely wrong
from every sanitary point With the dour barre!
th=re would be exception. because after the
-four has been used the barrel is stil clean and is
perfectly sanitary for packing apples potatoes
With the berry basket it is quite different.
Thare can be no Immediate cause for alarm IN the
direction OF the 'tncomprehensible destruction or
our forests elm ana ash being TIE principal woods
used in making barrels and baskets with q small
percentage made Of oak. Considering that the two
first named woods are nov much used for buI1ing
purposes the supply should not saftsr by the use
OF barrels for shipping -four
