1 Figures for old stock not available for 1916. 
The years 1920 to 1923 show the increasing efforts of growers to 
put their onions on the high-priced early market. The peak move- 
ment was a week or two earlier each year, with the heaviest week in 
1922 exactly a month earlier than in 1919. Growers began trans- 
planting on October 25 for the 1923 season and were through by 
December 1, as compared with the usual date — December 25; but 
their efforts were frustrated by a frost, which caught the onions in an 
unusually advanced state.
