EGYPTIAN ONION not

The Egyptian onion production IN

petition to the American onion pro

Ingston, chief Of the Bureau of Mar
kets, L. s. Department Of Agricul-
ture, IN a letter to Congress -man John
\. Garner. The opinion was advanc-
ca BY Mr.. Livingston following com
plants from American onion grow
ers that if the Egyptian onions were
dumped onto the American market,
the American product would not
bring profitable prices. Mr. Living
ston'S letter follows:
Supplementing my letter of
March 3. in regard To the possible
Importation Of onions from Egypt.
the following information has been
received in cablegram from the
American consul at Cairo, Egypt,

The onion acreage statistics are
not yet available. consequently it is
impossible 70 forecast the export sur
plus. The Egyptian department Of
agriculture states condition Of the

total yield at approximately 1000

export season begins i'll April The
control price in the English market

the season is given H. H. shillings

IF these prices prevail il would
not appear that competition with
