400 BUSHELS OF ONIONS

PER ACRE IN INDIANA.
The average yield OF onions in
Indiana this year is more than 400
bushels 10 the acre, according to
]. r. Cavanaugh. of the department
of agriculture, who is working with
the Purdue university extension
staff on Indiana market problems
This yield is 65 bushels larger than
last year The acreage this year is
200 against $3.50 last season but
the 1918 yield will be only 100000
bushels lower than that OF 1917.
Until a week ago, $50 cars had
been started TO market. the move
ment starting two weeks ahead OF
the usual time because of the earlier
maturity OF the crop.
While the onions this year are
smaller in size than usual. they are
we'll matured and solid and will
keep much better n onions be-
ing shipped in from other states. ="
said Mr. Cavanaugh. There is d
notable absence OF splits and soul
lious and the crop on the whole is
better than usual. ."

vanced training planes. The original
program for Liberty motors alone had
called for about 1900 Of these by June.
Turning to the question OF profits
by contractors for airplanes and motors,
Mr.. Hughes cited figures showing thai
manufacturers were enabled TO make
as much az $1,000 on each Liberty mo.
tor and from $3.50 TO 1880 on each
finished plane. Profits in some cases
were several hundred per cent Of the
investment, the report said.
Attorney-General Gregory in his let

more Of the profits were taken by the
government In taxes, and concluded
that mo such profits have been al.
lowed as TO justify a charge Of bad

profit, and a bonus OF Is per cent Of
any economies under an estimated cost
or DOGGY"
The DOGGY costs" said Mr.. Hughes,
were In all cases placed so high that
the contractor had every reason to eX.
pect that the actual cost would be much
less and that through its share in this
saving, the contractor would be able
to derive an increased profit from eco
nomical management. 1t is apparent,
however, that with n large fixed profit
guaranteed, the incentive to economy
liz not so strong as when the entire
