Onion Crop Of the United States.

Onion Crop OF the United States.
We have no full statistics OF the
onion crop In the United States later
than 1899, the year covered by the
twelfth census. in that year the
yield was over 100000, and the
acreage was In excess of $4,000. The
farm value OF this crop amounted to
y6.6S7.413. New York leads as pro-
Queer OF onions, the yield that year
being 2,177,271 bushels. Ohio followed
with 1,G71 ,442 bushels Almost one
third OF the entire crop OF the coun-
try In 1893 was produced In these two
states. their combined output amount
Ing to 3.S4S.713 bushels. valued at ST.
892,254.
The i've states which rank next,
and together produce about one
fourth OF the entire crop. are, In the
order OF their Importance as produc-
ers, Michigan, Massachusetts,. Illinois,
California and Indiana. The combined
product OF these five states in 1899
amounted to 3,098,807 bushels, valued
at $l,52S.776. No state other than
those mentioned above produced as
much as half million bushels. Con.
necticut is credited with over 100000
bushels; Pennsylvania. Kentucky. and
Wisconsin each raised upwards of
100000 bushels. Iowa. Missouri, Min
nesota, Oregon, Virginia and Colorado
each produced crop of upwards OF
100000 bushels, and the combined
product of the group of the ten states
last enumerated amounted to ASIA |
800 bushels. or almost "a per cent OF
the entire crop OF the country. 1t is
thus seen that about 80 per cent of |
the onion crop OF the United States |
In 1893 was the product OF II states. |
the remaining Is per cent being dis
tributed among 80 states and terri
tories.
