THE ONION CROP. 



The marketable crop of onions east 

 of the Kocky mountains and north of the 

 Ohio river will amount to 4,016,000 bush- 

 els, or practically the same as last year, 

 according to reports compiled by one of 

 the agricultural papers. The crop is un- 

 evenly distributed, certain sections show- 

 ing up better than a year ago, others de- 

 ficient; still others, for example Con- 

 necticut, seem to be working out of the 

 onion business and into crops regarded as 

 more profitable. 



Thus this money crop is distributed 

 somewhat unevenly this year, and has 

 brought disappointment to a good many 

 growers. Tor example, the important 

 Green Bay territory of Wisconsin is prac- 

 tically opt of the race the present sea- 

 son. The spring was wet, this was fol- 

 lowed by a dry summer, and finally mag- 

 gots got in their work, practically ruin- 

 ing earlier prospects. Uneven conditions 

 have prevailed in northern Illinois and 

 in Michigan. 



Late summer drought interfered with 

 the crop in New York, but ultimately the 

 weather turned for the better. This is 

 also generally true of the Connecticut 

 valley, where the cultivation is hanaied 

 in the most thorough manner. The fol- 

 lowing summary shows acreage and crop 

 in leading states: 



Acres. Bushels. 



Massachusetts 1,450 580,000 



Connecticut 300 45.000 



New York .» 3,850 1,155,000 



Ohio 3,700 1,184,000 



Illinois 900 135.000 



Indiana 2,000 550,000 



Michigan 750 169,000 



Wisconsin 600 105,000 



The Ohio crop is always tremendously 

 important in volume, and, therefore, in 

 the shaping of autumn and winter values. 

 Advices indicate that a good many onions 

 are being put into storage rather than ac- 

 cept present bid prices of 36 to 42 cents. 

 While many of the smaller growers are 

 selling, large operators are placing in 

 storage in such onion counties as Har- 

 din, Wayne, Ashtabula, etc. 



The onion crop of New York is largely 

 found in Orange county, as usual; also 

 Madison county, Long Island and others 

 have a full to increased acreage. The 

 main crop is about ten days late, although 

 more or less of it has been marketed. 

 Insects caused some damage, checking 

 the growth, and many onions are under- 

 size, although the stock is good and 

 sound.
