Advisory opinion letter to Mr. Sheehan

Dear Mr. Sheehan:

This is to confirm our recent telephone conversation and answer the question that you posed during same.

Three different types of onion containers are in general use. These are a poly-vinyl mesh material which costs 28¢ a piece in Colorado, a paper mesh material which costs 31¢ a piece in Colorado, and the cartons which are used by some growers which cost growers 42¢ a piece in Colorado. The poly-vinyl mesh and the paper mesh hold 50 lbs of onions each. The cartons hold between 40-50 lbs of onions. During our telephone conversation I also reiterated that.some of the onion grower committee members of National Onion Association as well as myself would be happy to meet with you in Washington, D.C. to discuss our project if this would be useful to you. I also inquired of you if it would be helpful if the Department of Agriculture discussed this matter with you and let you know what their position was with regard to same. As to this latter point, you advised me that you would be back in contact with me and advise as appropriate.
