Conadion Onion IilaterS
Onion week did a l'ot to increase
the popularity of Canadian onions
It also brought to light some inter-
esting facts about this rapidlY-grow-
ing industry. Per capita consump-
tion iof onions in ;Canada in 1990
was about ten pounds. In other
words, this means that a total of
100,000,000 pounds -50,000 tons or
some 2,000 carloads—of onions were
eaten by Canadian people, This
huge quantity came principally from
two .sources. •Canadian groWers pro -
(Weed 29,976 tons, 'and something.
over 20,000 tons were imported from
the 'United States. Over $75,000. was
spent by Canadian en United States

is; increasing rapidly and is of ex-
ceptional quality.

Principles of farming, the spreading
of agricultural vocational training
of cutting down of overhead, elim,-;
illation of waste and improvement

the proposals contained In the re-
port of the Hon. T. L. Ketmedy; ihIln-
ister of Agriculture, to .the Govern-
ment, which are likely to: be em-
bodied in the form Of legislation at
the .session now in progress. Olte of
the chief difficulties confronting the
Department has been the c6nversion
of farmers to the need of improving
their marketing methods acid gener-
ally , departing from practices in
vogue before the, era of competitive
prcrgress: The sinister topes to put
agriculture on mi basis where it, 'will
produce higher. qualityproducts at
less amt. 'For' instance 'Ontario far-
•mers have lost hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars through parasites in
hogs, 'Hogs thus affected fake, con-
siderable, ; more feeding than to
healthy hogs, a matter •of several
months/ and the fariner's profit is
considerably lessened as a result.
