A TEAR JERkER
Onion Comes into Own

The loWly onion has come into
its own at last.
Almost ignored by Imperial VAL
ley growers in the past, the onion
has become a valuable crop since
the war cut down onion supplies
throughout the world and made the
onion a valuable and hard-to-get
product on markets in many parts
of the world. 1t has disappeared en-
tirely from many markets in the
eastern part of the United States
because so many are exported IN
der the lend-lease program.
TOTAL ACREAGE
This year the total onion acreage
in the valley was 230 acres, the
Imperial Irrigation district crop
survey showed.
The Los Angeles market this
week showed that so pounds of
Spanish onions brought So to S2.l0,
Imperial Valley onions brought So 40
and Imperial Valley yellow Ber-
mudas brought 1925 a so pound
sack. The market has been good
throughout the season and bid fair
to be better yet.
Onions were grown in the val
ley in the early days but since then
have not been one of the valleys
main crops. Onions were valuable in
the early days, too. One time a
farmer rushed into bank in Holt
Vile and asked to have bunch OF
onions locked in the vault for sale
keeping.
HARVEST SEED
Most of the onions now grown IN
the valley were planted by r. b.
Dessert, who intended to harvest
them for seed Those that did not
produce seed properly, however, are
harvested and sold as dry onions.
AS proof that onions grow well IN
the valley, Dessert displayed in his
window in Ell Centre an onion that
weighs two pounds and l3 ounces.
It was grown b. Dessert on one OF
his trial grounds a mile and a half
north of Imperial.

Beef Point Values
Go up from One to
Three Per Pound
Pork Values Stationary
While Some Vegetable
Values Down Few Points

WASHINGTON, July @
UP)-The Office of Price
A d m ini s tration today
brought the food shortage
home to the public by in
creasing the point values of all
meat except pork. Some canned
vegetables also were increased.
This means civilians will have to
reduce their purchases of these ra-
tionad foods.
Effective Sunday point values of
all beef, veal, lamb and mutton will
go up one or two points pound.
Values of canned fresh shelled
beans and green or wax beans will
go down, but values of canned
corn, peas and tomatoes and of
five bottled fruits will 60 up.
Officials conceded that the new
point value tables, to be effective
through July. add up to one thing
less rationad food for the civilian
population. The changes come at
a time when many congressman and
food industry spokesmen are warm
ing that the nation faces serious
shortages in supplies of many food
stuffs. Especially regarding meat,
they are blaming administration
policies.
OPA said beef supplies available
to civilians during July are ex-
pected to be the smallest since ra-
tioning began.
While there has been some swing
away from beef toward pork and
other types of meats during the
past three weeks, OPA explained
that the dismal supply picture for
July leaves no alternative but to
discourage beef consumption even
further"
The rise in meat ration values is
one point for all cuts of beef. veal,
lamb and mutton, except blade rib
beef roast (standing ten-inch cut
and blade rib beef roast (standing
7-inch CUT, and veal culets. These
are increased by two points.
