I AM GOING TO PLANT ONIONS 
Because I cannot plant a crop on my farm 
that will produce more dollars per acre 
than an acre of onions. Yields will run 
from 300 to 1000 bushels per acre de¬ 
pending on the season and care. Onions 
sell from 50c to $1.50 per bushel. 
Figure the cost of production as 
high as you please and still you could 
not come within a mile of the gross 
profit with any other crop.
