IJoiiL-luileil from pa^e 1 



port, Union Hill, and Webster. At Port 

 Byron, Cayuga county, late plantings 

 have increased the acreage to .50 as com- 

 pared with 85 in 1918. The condition is 1 

 reported good. In Madison county the 

 present condition is better than last year 

 and gives promise of a yield of from Pj-'iO 

 to 400 bushels per acre. 



Ohio rcniditiomi. Hot sun and dry 

 weather the first three weeks in .June 

 thinned the stand of onions in Hardin 

 county and stunted their growth. Fifty 

 acres have been abandoned on account 

 of weeds. Present indications point to 

 75 per cent of a normal crop. The 

 eastern edge of the Scioto marsh is full 

 of thrips. Pulling will begin Aug. 10-15. 

 The acreage is 3,200. At Lodi the acre- 

 age is .300 and on account of thrips and 

 smut only 75 per cent of a normal crop 

 is expected. At Orrville only 70 per 

 cent of a normal crop will be harvested. 

 MasiMchuaetts. The acreage has been 

 slightly reduced throughout the valley. 

 The .stand in many fields is thin and the 

 tops are short. The constant rain during 

 .July and the activity of the thrip will 

 reduce the yield very materially. The 

 best growers report an expected yield of 

 from 300 to 350 bushels per acre as com- 

 pared with 475 to 490 bushels per acre 

 last year. The acreage in sets this season 

 was much larger than during the seasons 

 of 1917 and 1918. The yield, however, 

 was lighter than last year, but prices 

 were good. Sets in 1918 were sold gen- 

 erally at from $4 to $4.50 per 100 pounds 

 f. 0. b. shipping point. This season the 

 price was slightly higher. The sets have 

 already been marketed and the harvesting 

 of .seed onions has begun. Good storage 

 stock will be limited and fair prices to 

 growers are assured. 



The shipments this season from the 

 various points in the valley to August 6, 

 inclusive, number 124 carloads, 93 of 

 which were shipped in July, 31 the first 

 six days in August. 



The table gives the carload shipments 

 from the Connecticut valley for four 

 seasons for -July and the first week in 

 August.
