URGE 2OO-POUND
FERTILIZER BAGS
Urged by Government to Save
BurIap for Shipping
War Materials.

Twenty-one million yards Of bur
lap-a material now growing
scarce because Of its increased use
in trench warfare, food shipments
and because of reduced importa-
tions-cOuld be saved if fertilizer
dealers would use 2OO-pound bags
instead of the more common 100
pound size. Pointing out that the
burlap situation is stealing grow
ing worse, the United States de
partment of agriculture makes this
suggestion TO fertilizer haulers for
conserving the supply. The none
tary saving possibl in handling the
100000 tons OF fertilizers. now
shipped in smaller bags, in 2OO-
pound bags rather than in 100 pound
sacks would be Approximately ST.
600, 900, it is estimated.
Bags are not only scarce. but the
juts from which burlap bags are
made is imported from India. and
the shortage of ships has materially
interferred with the supply. while
the necessity Of furnishing bags for
the army for trench use Will fur
Their deplete those available. The
total amount Of fertilizer used in the
United States annually is about c.
10000 tons and of this at least half
is being shipped in less than 200
pound bags. A shortage Of burlap
would ultimately reflect on such
uses as for fertilizers i'm view Of the
priority need for food containers.
and it is held necessary that the use
Of burlap for carrying fertilizers
should be cut to the greatest pos
sible extent.
Another way i'm which burlap can
be saved is by the use of second
hand bags of any size. Many of
these are on American farms. Deal
ers in second hand bags pay from
6 to Is cents each. depending on size
and condition.
