Under the new regulatixns $t i snow possible to obtain definite information as to the contents of each sack of potatoes or onions from the ticket or tag which by law must now be attach- ed to every sack or part of a sack, of these commodities offered for sale. The wording of the tag is very simple, and conveys to tthe purchaser the name and address of the grower, the grade or quality of the contents, and the net weight contained in the sack.
