VEGETABLES.
That The onion crop of 1896, now generally
harvested, is decidedly smaller than a year ago,
Is shown by an exhaustive canvass just made
tion of country where onions are commercially
grown. There is a shortage, both In acreage
harvested and yield, and the report places the
commercial crop OF 1896 at :, 100000 bushels, OF
nearly 20 per cent smaller than a year ago, and
bumper crop Of 1891. As in former years the
]S CInsiHeIy a. 22F%du Ssdo1 is confined almost ex,
the head of Lake Michigan.
Low prices last year discouraged many from
putting IN me usual acIeage, and It is about 10
per cent less than that Of last year, The shortage
Is pronounced in New England, but final returns
show that In spite of low prices many farmers
IN New York state have harvested about the
usual acreage. Ohio shows a shortage COM
pared with 1895. with much complaint OF rotting
states the rate nf yield is liberal ana the quality
generally good on reduced acreage. The small
onion crop of the southern and western states
was secured i'm fair condition. but does not much
AFFECT the markets, except locally. Quotations:
