A Far Cry From the Beginnings of the Industry Here
By CLLA McMUNN .p
When John Knight raised 4000
bushels of onions on his farm five,
miles north- of Salem, on the old
territorial road that now boasts
the name Pacific highway. In the
year 1902, 'it is likely that -.his
feat had not' at that time been
duplicated. Certainly none of JUa
neighbors ever expected to see the
day when , the total' output ' from
this sectiofi would reach 400 car
loads, or as in 1 9 2 8; over 8 0 0
cars. What Mr. Knight did with
his onions Is not a matter of rec
ord. He probably took a few
wagon loads around to the stores
In Salem and gave away a set of
silverware with every sack he
could Induce the public to buy.
and left the remainder of his 2000
sacks to revert back to enricben
the soil that grew them, for such
was marketing conditions at that
time. t ' - ' f

which has, on occasions, assisted
with the-shipping of onions, cars
roll out of Brooks, billed to every
state in the Union, some of which
are onion growing states, and this
vegetable, which in a manner ad
vertises itself, is boiled, fried and
served raw to an extent not
dreamed of by the pioneer grow
ers who glutted the market once
with six or eight sacks. ,
An Onion Eating Nation
"With a foreign population that
still clings to the ' foods of the
homeland, America is by way of
becoming an onion eating nation,
for the more onions that find their
way to market, the more are con
sumed, and on January 28th, a
dispatch comesNfrom New York to
the effect that there are 50,000
packages of foreign onions on the
dock unsold, and 28,000 packages
afloat for that port; a week earl
ier .10.000 packages were unsold
and 76,000 packages afloat; and
two weeks earlier 02,375 were un
sold and 00,000 afloat.
Hurry Orders to Labish
Some onions, I'll say, but that
was only a small poultice com
pared ,to all the onions coming
into" that port, where once our
only real competitor was Bermu
da, with iU 40.000 sacks. But it
seems that the quantities men
tioned were not sufficient for the
demand,' so Brooks waa asked to
hurry up with a shipment of 21

Good Prices Now - -'
' Oregon onions - sold - last week
In New Orleans for $4 a hundred,
which looked, like watchful wait
ing for Oregon growers had been
beneficial, . since the price at the
digging or pulling -, season had
been $1.20 a sack, with no buy
ers, due perhaps to the fact, that
a lot of mixed seed in the east had
made mixed onions in the east and
south and buyers were a little
afraid of what the Pacific coast
might have to offer, which later
proved a fine, first class grade of
vegetable. .
Mint Crowded Onions . " '.'
Onion growing is not easy work,
and if not sold "is a total loss,
since they are not good stock food
as is potatoes and other :toot
crops, and while not much harmed
by cold weather, cannot be held
over for a year like grain.
The reduction in the onion crdp
this year is due to the flattering
returns from peppermint, which
induced many growers to use on
ion acreage for that new industry,
but an increase in seed and set
output will balance the column
nicely. ! ?
Only the assessor could give an
exact list of onion growers in the
Lake Labish district, where every
body raises a few, seeds, sets, and
onions, j
In another column of The
Statesman appears a dispatch from
New York, which harks back to
November 26, dealing with the
mixed seed problem, which, in the
opinion of the writer, was respon
sible for the onion panic of the
past fall although Oregon seems
to have been lucky in the matter
of good seed.

from New York, referred to by
Miss McMunn, appear in another

In the' house a new proposal

treasury plan for a similar cor

measure on his own responsibil

pressing for enactment at this ses

corporation would be elected by
the secretaries of commerce and
the treasury and the surgeon gen
eral of the public health service,
rather than by stockholders, and
the treasury would not be guar

notes, as provided in the treasury
bill. In other major respects the
bill is identical with the treasury
