 onion seed ever grown liniahed Its 

 movenieul toward United Stiitcs porta 

 luHt week, when largo llniil 8hli)nient8 

 brought the IHIT value of this export 

 to America up to $137.:;8» ($131,882 

 for the Inlted States and $5,407 for 

 Porto Klco), as compared with $81.- 

 387 for lyl6 and only $4U.828 In 1915. 

 While good results had been expected, 

 even the most optimistic planters 

 were surprised by the great quantities 

 of high-grade seed produced and the 

 large buying orders from the United 

 States— which country has bought 

 nearly all available seed, only very 

 small quantities remaining on the 

 market.
