Prices were 1 to 2 cents in the grease higher on sales of strictly comb ing 56s. blood and 68s, 60s 4 blood Ohio and similar fleeces at 40-42 cents. Fair weights of fine Ohio Delaine or strictly combing 64s and finer fleeces brought 34 35 cents in the grease. A number of fairly large lines of bulk average French combing 4s, and finer territory wools in original bags sold at 84-86 cents scoured basis. The week was marked also by a fairly actire trade inspot foreign wools. Record For Onion Production is Set 1200 Carloads Grown on 1500 Acres Contrasts to Output in '2& ' The largest pro&nctlon of on ions ever recorded was noted in Marion county in 1835, when 1200 carloads from approximate ly 1500 acres of onions were placed upon the domestic and for eign market, including not only the Pacific coast, middle western and eastern states, but also the Orient and Cuba. Onions marketed during 1935 were considerably greater In quantity in 1935 than ten years age when approximately 4 90 car loads were shipped from the county and five years ago when 800 carloads were placed upon the market. No material Increase' in the onion acreage is expected. in the county during the coming year, growers state. Shipments of Oregon onions to tbe Orient have increased some what In the past few weeks, with a considerable supply of them go ing'out to markets across the Pa cific.' The Philippine Islands are still the chief outside market for Oregon onions at the present time, and considerable additional ship ments are expected to go from Oregon to Manila. Recently around 20 to 25 car loads of onions were shipped from Fortland to-the Orient on one ship sailing across the Pacific, and additional shipments are expected to follow. Mlation Rumors "i lift Grain Price Best in Two Weeks; $1.02 Level Hit and dose Continues Firm ' CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-PH'arSe-ly because of reported chance of inflationary developments before Monday, wheat rose today to the highest prices reached tn more than two weeks. Active eastern buying that ac companied the upturn helped to lift May wheat to $1.02, an ov ernight gain of 1 cents a bush el. Improved demand from do mestic milling sources also was a stimulus. And so too were fore casts of a severe cold ware in the southwest where wheat is not ad equately protected by snow. Wheat closed : firm, ; . above yesterday's " finish. May 11.01 Corn -e up.

Over 2600,000 of this amount is derived from onions and celery alone. Several thousand cases of green ean3 are annually grown and anned in Marion county, the var ieties used being Kentucky Won der and Blue Lake. It Is estimat ed that since 1929 the acreage of beans has-been doubled but no material increase In production is anticipated, at the present time. The approximate acreage of to matoes grown for canning in Mar ion county In 1935 wa 70 acres. Unirrigated tomato fields, partic ularly in 193 5, took neavy losses from dry rot of fruit. Growers using irrigation report uniformly ood results, marked benefits be ing secured fwith only one water- ng Just prior to ripening period, although most growers used a greater number of applications. Pumpkin t and squash rank third in importance of vegetable crops for canning. These crops are grown ion river bottom soil oth irrigated and unirrigated. Market prices paid for squash are so low as to make it impossible or growers; to spend money for fertilizers other than stable ma nure produced on the farm. Squash bugs j are increasing In numbers and everlty of damage, but at prevailing prices no squash grower can afford to use expen sive control; measures. UXATH AJTD EAT Wheat, western red .80 White.
