PREVENT LOSSES
IN SHIPPING HAY
Invoices Should Precede Car and
Contain Full Details Con-
corning Consignment.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN


prepared BY tho United States Department
Of AEricuiturol
Careless and inaccurate billing or In
volcing are responsible for much Of the
delay and losses experienced by hay
shippers, says the bureau OF markets
and crop estimates, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. Accordingly
he bureau has prepared the following
suggestions that apply to the shipment
OF grain as well as hay.
Follow billing instructions IN detail,
naming route and delivery road when
requested.
Forward bills Of ladlng and invoices
promptly.
Prepare invoices carefully. stating
car initial and number, date Of ship
ment. number Of bales, total weight Of
car. or OF each particular kind or
grade, and price data when available.
Follow Instructions Closely.
If the billing Instructions furnished
by the consignee are not clear. Il is
generally a better plan to hold the
shipment until satisfactory instruc-
tons are received than to take the
chance Of billing 1t incorrectly. When
specific instructions as to routing or
delivery are given they should be fol-
lowed In detail, as 1t is frequently the
case that shipments arriving over
roads other than those specified must
be switched at considerable cost before
delivery can be made at the desired
location. In many markets hay ship
ments arriving In certain railroad
yards will not sell as advantageously
MS when they arrive In other yards be-
cs;:, * siiss;s .s-..ch!, feclll-
ties or because Of the distance Of the
yards from buyers warehouses. Com
mission merchants and dealers In the
markets are familiar with these fac
tors and, when possible, request billing
that viii not subject their hay ship
ments to these handicaps.
Buyers may also desire to reconsign
their hay upon arrival or change the
billing while the car is in transit; but
II the hay is shipped via another line
from which they cannot reconsign the
shipment, they may suffer consider
able loss which can be charged back to
the shipper, II he has not followed
shipping instructions.
Forward Bill Of LadIn5 Promptly
When the bill of lading has been
signed by the railroad agent 1t should
be forwarded promptly TO the con-
signee. unless it is desired 10 attach a
draft to 1t, In which case II should be
placed In the bank for transmittal to
the conslgnee at the earliest possible

of handling In harvesting and drying.
When In good condition for storage,
onions are well cured, hard. free from

caused by rough or careless handling.
They should be stored in Slated onion
crates or In shallow Slated bins, and
should be cooled to temperature Of

1t is best that they be placed in
