A bag construction is described which is adapted to receive harvested cotton or the like directly from the harvesting machinery in the field and to store same indefinitely until such time that the harvested material can be further processed. The bag is designed so that the sides and ends thereof have flaps capable of being extended upwardly therefrom, and these flaps are adapted to be attached to a frame during the loading process. The operator of the harvesting machinery can simply drive up to the bag to unload the harvested cotton without the need for any special attachments or conveying mechanisms on the harvesting machinery. When the bag is filled, the top end of the side flaps are pulled together by lacing, and following this, the top portions of the sides, or where the flaps are attached to the sides, are laced together as well. The flap portions of the ends of the bag may then be laced together, and a flap member which is adapted to cover the entire top of the bag extends over it longitudinally and is tied down. The bag is provided with openings on each end thereof, which are loosely covered by a flap, and this opening serves as a means for circulating air through the stored harvested cotton or the like while it is awaiting transfer to further processing machinery. Straps are provided which extend across the width of the bottom of the bag and are sewn to the bag near the bottom portion of the bag side. Loops extend upwardly from the point at which the straps are sewn to the bag to allow the bag to be lifted in an upright position. The straps are loose from the bottom of the bag so that if picked up at that point the bag will be raised in an inverted position allowing the harvested material stored therein to be dumped from it.
