AMERICAN DIET5
$13,000,000 Worth Con
sumed During 1933 Sea
sonAncients Knew De
lights, Value of Vegetable
Thirteen million dollars worth of
onions Is a lot to think of. But that
Is the farm value of the onions moved
to market from the commercial onion
producing areas of this country dur
ing the 1933 crop season. It makes
onions one of the ten or twelve most
valuable vegetable crops we produce.
In one way or another, they say. we
eat onions in this country at the rate
of 10 pounds per person per year. And
onions do their bit toward a balanced
diet, says the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics of the U. 5. Department of
Agriculture. They are a fair source
of Iron, and raw onions furnish some
vitamin C.
Onions were one of the foods of the
ancients. ' There are paintings. It Is
said, that show Egyptian prlesta cov
ering their altars with onion tops
and roots. Onions are mentioned in
the Bible as one of the things the
Israelites longed for in the wilderness
and complained to Mosea about. Tu
the East, continues the historian,
i "there is a tradition that when Satan
! stepped out of the Garden of Eden
after the fall of man. onions sprang
1 up from the spot where he placed his
right foot and garlic' from the snot
his left foot touched."
1 Grow 23.0fli).nno Huhel
Be that as It may, every farm or
tegetable garden now grows onions
for home viae. To supply our city
markets the commercial shipping
areas In the United States usually de
vote 60,000 to 90.000 acres to the grow
ing of onions. (And this does not In
clude the local or market garden acre
age producing chiefly for sale in local
mnrkets, and furnishing possibly 10
to 15 percent of the marketings.) All
told, the commercial onion growers
ship three crops early. Intermediate
and latewhich amounted to about
33 million bushels this year.
At this time of year we are getting
the late, or "main crop" onions on
the market, which is to say the
onions grown chiefly In New York,
Michigan.. Indiana, Ohio, California,
Idaho, Colorado, and 10 other states,
north, east and west. By the end of
November, this crop la In storage for
distribution through the winter,
Most of It conalsts of Yellow Globe
onions, but there sre many white
onea and red ones as well. The mild
flavored Bermudas and the Creoles,
grown chiefly tn Texas, California and
Louisiana, mature in the spring and
come on the market during the sum
mer as the "early orop."
Imports Reduced
We still import some onions, but
the 60 000 bushels Imported In 1933
looks small beside the 3 million
bushels and more that we used to get
from Spain, Egypt, Bermuda, Mexico
and Chile. We now grow our own.
Spanish onions, large oval yellow
mild-flavored onions that come to
market mainly from the northwest In
the fall and winter months. You find
a few Imported Spanish onions on the
market In winter as well as In sum
mer, and some Egyptian onions also.
These are of the Spanish type, but
harder end stronger flavored.
When you are buying onions you
probably look for those that are
bright, clean, hard, well-shaped, and
mature, with dry skins. You don't
want onions which have begun to
sprout, or In which the seedstem has
developed. Nor do you want onions
with any sign- of rot. either on the
outer scale or the scales In the cen
ter of the bulb snd moisture at the
neck ts usually an Indication of decay.
These defects are se-lctia, but they
are lairiy easy to detect.
Mnrketed hv Grades
It ts to the housewife's a'vante
to know, however, that onions are us
ually marketed In wholesale quantl
ties by well established grades. The
dealer buys northern onions, the
Globes, usually in 00-pound bags
Bermudas snd Creoles the early
onions come In sacks and crates and
have their own special grades.) The
U. S. Department of Agriculture stan-
dards for northern-grown onions are
U. S. No. 1", -U. 8. Commercial'
"U 8. No. 1 Boilers", and "U. 8. No. 1
ricklers."
The grading Is done first over In
clined screens or slatted racks, which
separate the larger onions from the
small ones. Loose tops, chaff, and
mrt also, paas through the screens.
In add (Won to size, onions are
graded for maturity, firmness, and
shape, and according to the percent
age of "doubles" or "splits." "bot
tlenecks" snd "scalltons," snd of
"bald." "skinned" or "peeled" onions.
wnicn have lost more than half the
papery outside skin; for the pres
ence of sunscald which affects ship
ping and marketing quality; for the
cracking of the flesh itself, or any
appearance of decay, and for the
presence of too many tops. "Doubles"
and "splits" are onions which have
developed more than one distinct
bulb. If they are dlstlntcly misshap
en, or show a splitting of the dry
outer scales they sre excluded from
the top grade. "Bottlenecks" are on
ions with abnormally thick necks.
"Scalllons" have thick necks and
relatively small and poorly developed
bulbs.
So 1 Illrh Grade
"O. a. No, 1," the best grade of
onions, are free of these and other
defects such as damage caused by
freeclng. by disease or Insects, or by
handling, packing, or other mechan
ical means. The sire for grade 1 Is
not less than 1 Inches In diameter
If they are yellow onions, 40 petcent
more, and If white onions, so per
cent or more, by weight, must be
, two Inches or larger in diameter.
V. 8- No. 1 Boilers" are onions
of No. 1 grade which sre 1 to IS
In diameter, and "U. S. No.
lers" are still smallerleas
Inch tn diameter.
"U. s. Commercial" grade Includes
somewhat less perfect stok than
grade 1. The minimum .ze ts 1'4
lnchcea diameter, but there Is no
requirement for a percentage 3 Inches
In diameter or larger. The onions
In this grade are "mature, not soft
or spongy, not badly misshapen." and
free from defects as listed for grade
1, except that there is no require
ment regarding peeled onions. On the
same market, they Bhould, of course,
sell for less than grade 1, and for
many purposes they serve just as
well as grade 1.
The greatest quantities of onions
are used, probably, "rather as a
season er than as an edible," as
somebody puts It. But on msny a
family table a good dinner Includes
onions creamed or baked or stuffed,
or scalloped, to say nothing of on
ions fried to go with steak or liver,
or raw sliced onion In a salad. Or
onion soup, made with meat stock
and served with toast and grated
cheese which Is almost a full meal,
if you add. say. cold slaw for a salad,
or grapefruit or sliced peaches for
dessert.
