Work off the farm, though where
farmers are forced to work off
the farm, there is possiblej teh
dency to weaken not only j farm:
markets but lower wages paid for

to live in the country establish
rural residence or subsistence

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.

' 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

Marion cdunty's vegetable crops
total approximately one million
dollars annually in returns to
farmers the report of. the vege
table crops committee at last
w e e k's agricultural economics
conference showed. 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.
