price for sugar beets, the main com- 

 petitive crop, was also low. The 

 contract price to growers for onion sets 

 this year was 80 to 90 cents per bushel 

 for reds and yellows and $1 per bushel 

 for whites, which is at least 40 cents 

 less than last year. 



The yield is variously estimated at 

 from three bushels to four bushels per 

 pound of seed sown, compared with five 

 and one-half bushels to six bushels last 

 year. Maggots thinned many stands early 

 in the season, and weather conditions 

 have been generally unfavorable for the 

 development of the sets. During the last 

 three weeks, while the sets should have 

 been bulbing, the growth was slow and 

 thrips attacked nearly all fields, killing 

 a large percentage of the tops prema- 

 turely. As a result, harvest will be 

 from two to three weeks earlier than 

 normal. Pulling started in a few scat- 

 tered fields about July 15 and is now 

 well under way. The sets will be small, 

 of fancy grade, and are expected to 

 keep well. The smaller size increases 

 the planting capacity per unit and, to 

 some extent, offsets the low production. 



Dealers who sell onion sets for future 

 delivery against their growing contracts 

 report little interest manifested by the 

 trade. At this time last year there was 

 a good demand for sets for later deliv- 

 ery, but at present there is a prevail- 

 ing sentiment among buyers that there 

 will be enough to go around. 



WESTERN NEW YORK CROPS. 



The prolonged drought in western 

 New York has produced a decidedly 

 unsatisfactory state of affairs through- 

 out that district in regard to seed crops. 

 No rain fell from the latter part of ^lay 

 until the middle of July. Inasmuch as 

 this period covered the transplanting 

 of such crops as asters, cabbage, toma- 

 toes and other plants of this kind, 

 great reduction in the acreage of these 

 crops has resulted.
