AN ESTABLISHED ONION INDUSTRY
Ronald E.1 Jones, market man for the Labish Meadows
Celery union, the members of which also grow head lettuce
in .a large way, besides potatoes and asparagus and other
truck garden products, and who produce a good many cars of
onions annually, was able to write last year for the annual
onion Slogan number of The Statesman the following:
.; $"The onion industry in the Labish beaverdam district is far enough
adranced now so that it brings in probably more money than any other
crop in this part ot the country. The onion crop this year amounted
to ahout 500 cars, and sold for. from'betweeh. $250,000 and $300,000.
''Onionswill bring a higher return for a smaller amount of capital
Invested than any other big money crop that can be grown on beaver-
v . dam lands. I Jn. a year like the, presents with seed yery high, the, cos
oiseea tmoaau to only $io per acre, ana, to grow an ordinary acreage
. tt onions.' no" expensive equipment Is necessary, the naln inTestments
being In onion houses, where Unions are to be stored after harvesting.
In reasonably; favorable year, onions should average at least
.$00 sacks (one carload) per acre. -The ordinary price at time of
.'harvesting these onions runs from $1.25 to $2 per sack, and anyone
eoing. Into the onion growing business should figure, on being able to
raise onions and put them on the market for $1 per sack, thus leaving
tUa fair margin of profit in at least four out of erery five years, accord-"-"tag
to the-way our markets have been in the past. ; . - i :w
- f j U ia not much out of the ordinary to get a yield of 400 sacks per
"acre, and there have been yields la the Labish district of 600 sacks
per acre.I know of one grower receiTing $450dfor his' crop' of fire
acres, and handling it direct from the field to the market without the
. ; necessity of putting the onions in an onion house.; : '0:f ;1
: "As the growers get more accustomed to he land and conditions
here they are able to apply fertilise where needed and get a con
sistent, profitable crop'every year. There warf a time, about fiTeyears
ago, when any one who had Labish onions for sale .was at a disad
" vantage, as they had the black eye all through the trade, but this
disadvantage Is being rapidly removed and turned .into an advantage,
as the growers are learning to grow a better grade of onions every
year' ..... .: . - .. - ....... 5 .; - :
.J'FTobably the thing that is needed most to help the onion .business
In this district, is the use of some common brand name, and a better
grading of onions before shipping." ' . '
" llr Jones was absent this year; due home today from a
month of intensive study of the marketing conditions, in the
big Centers of the country, and from attending three national
conventions at Chicago of the vegetable growers and jobbers
and commission men and shippers, where some 10,000 dele
gates were present. t ; . , - "
- J Salem is well on'the .way to becoming the greatest onion
i! center of the United States because we have the soil and
natural conditions for producing the highest, quality and the
L largest tonnage .to the acre . - ' , ,
' i And. weave the : onion men ; the'oniori cult men who
i have made and will make a study of the best methods of
I Jj growing and storing their product; making constant. experi-
ments; finding out the best varieties, the best methods of
! pest control ; the proper, fertilizers to build up and conserve
; the. soil conditions that will guarantee high quality and large
: . production; These things are nowjwell established.
; p. A", and J. O. Hayes, publishers of the San Jose-CaL,
Mercury, one tof, the outstanding newspapers of its class in
all America; are among" the" pioneers of the onion and onion
I set industries here. Theyhave developed a large tract of . the
central Labish section, investingvlarge sums in clearingthe
i - land erecting buildings, etc., and. establishing there a veri
:, s table vegetable city. '--. '
' ; ' '. 'As they nave gone on developing their onion Industry; the
V Lake lbish growers have by intelligent experimenting found
; f. out many useful f actSvTh havecoristahtly ; proved the
! quklity of their product, and increased the per acre tonnage.
. ' They have discovered that they can grow an onion of superior
keeping qualities, which is very important. . . This is due to
the eulphur in their soil. . '
They grow nearly all the onion sets for the entire Pacific
coast, and ship in car lots" beyond "the Rockies. , They arc
developing an important onion peed industry which .they are
building 'up bh quality, production t . . . '
Ar.il-in n:any ways there is solid; progress in the onion
industry of which Salem is, ' to her great advantage, j the
center And with" every prospect of becoming the most

way construction program.' The
road . will not ''produce sufficient
revenue to pay interest out the
$2,500,000 investment? say; noth
ing about returning the principal
"Under ; the provisions of this
bill the state would build a. high
way for pleasure seekers while at
the same time thousands 'of, farm
ers are unable to reach the mar
kets during the winter months be
cause of the unsatisfactory 'condi
tion of the roads. ; There would bo
no material saving In the distance
between Portland and the south
ern Tillamook beaches. H ' '
"The proposal to construct this
highway is a subterfuge, and the
bill is not being considered - on its
merits. The w"hole proposition . Is
unfair, and the next legislature
will attempt to build other toll
roads. If J must sacrifice my prin
ciple and support the bill, I am
willing to suffer any punishment
that may result. ; .
"1 am opposed., to the toll road
principle and believe this bill
should be defeated." : f
"?'Senator Eddy apparently is un
duly1 apprehensive of the motives
and purposes of this bill," declar
ed Senator Hare. "The bill was
introduced on its merits and there
is no reason for the attack launch
ed against it by Senator Eddy. It
is ' a state highway designed . to
serve more than 60 per cent of the
people who contribute to the state
highway funds. It is not a radical
departure from sound business
methods as charged by Senator
Eddy,, ' it:'i.
VThe bin. as I read it, merely
gives the state highway depart
ment authority to do those things
which can be done by, private cap
ital under the existing laws. There
is no camouflage in the' bill,' but
on the contrary it was introduced
to meet a publicemand. J
"The questional issue s wheth
er you want a toll road operated
by private capital or a toll road
built and operated by the state
highway department. I believe you
prefer the latter method of oper-
aung mis pivjh;i- y it j.'
Senator Hare referred briefly
to traffic conditions on the Tilla
mook beach roads during the sum
mer months, and predicted that
the tolls derived from the Wilson
River highway would not only take
care of the interest buteventuallv
return the' amount of the Invest
ment to the state. i ,. '
If this bill is approved I assure
you that none of the senators from
the counties affected by the con
struction of the project will' ask
that the tolls be eliminated," con
cluded Senator Hare. ' 1 f
Senator Dunne said that the bill
was fair in that it would shorten
materially the distance from Port
land to the Tillamook beaches and
would not impair permaneptly the
finances of the state highway de
partment. "The people are de
manding this road." said Senator
Dunne, "and it should be built."
Senator Klepper .said .he resent
ed. the -implication by.Senator Ed
dy, that trades had been, made
among the senators and that the
skids were greased for passing the
bill . ; ' . ,
"I declare without fenr ot con
tradiction" said Senator. Klepper,.
"that Senator Eddy is f the smooth
est lobbyist in this senate."
. j Senators Joseph and Butler also
spoke briefly in favor of the Wil
son River toll road bill.
It was said that construction of
the WUson River toll road would
shorten the distance between Port
land and the northern Tillamook
beaches approximately . 3 7j miles,
and at the same time relieve the
heavy congestion on the present,
highways. ' The cost has been esti
mated at between "$2.500,Q00 and
$3,000,000. , . a ,
" The senate adopted Senator' Up
ton's resolution autnoruing tne
state highway department to con
struct experimental . highways 'on
the high desert country between
BeftdJ and" Burns. Senators pre
d Icted that the cost ot these ex
periments wonld be jaominaf. nd
