The annual onion harvest was in
full swing here this week, but un-
less prices take an upward trend
very soon, most farmers will be
lucky to break even on this years
crop.
Prices on 50 pound sacks range
from 50c to 75c but the cost of
harvesting and getting the product
ready for market this year is
somewhat higher than the past
and very little can be realized by
the producer after all expenses
are paid.
Quality of the local crop is good
but tonnage in most cases is poor.
White wax are bringing about 10c
per bag more than yellows.
A report from the United States
Department of Agriculture Thurs-
day showed that 7222 cars of
onions had been shipped this year
as compared to 2695 at the same
date last year.

Garland Baptist
Cradle Roll Shows
Large Increase
Local citizens were somewhat
amazed Wednesday when the Dal-
las News reported that 12,597 peo-
ple had registered in the Garland
Independent School District in
the recent sugar ration.
The figure , if correct, would
represent a tremendous growth
for Garland, but a check with
H. D. Pearson, who was in charge
of the registration here, revealed
that the number was less than half
the reported figure. Mr. Pearson's
records showed that 5,283 had
registered in the Garland district.
Even at this figure Garland has
has grown very fast during the
past few months. The 1940 census
gave Garland a population of 2233
and the estimated figure at the
present date is around 4000 with-
in the city limits.

dition, one pound a year per per- !
son for use in preparing preserves, I
jams, jellies or fruit butters. There
is no time limit on applications
for this sugar, Mr. Moore stated.
On the application form for
sugar for canning the consumer
must list the number of quarts of
fruit canned the preceding calen-
dar year, the number of quarts
canned since the previous appli-
cation, number of quarts in posses-
sion of the family unit at present,
number of quarts to be canned dur-
ing the period for which the appli-
cation is made, the kind of fruit
to be canned and the number of
pounds of excess sugar on hand
at the time of registration and any
subsequent reduction.
If the consumer has not received
a rationing card because of hav-
ing excess sugar, he can receive a |
credit on the use of a certain
amount of this excess for canning
and thus lower officially his sugar
supply. Application of this par-
ticular kind, however, must be
made to the sugar rationing board
on the third floor of the Hall of
Records in Dallas.
Any adult member of the family
unit may apply for all the mem-
bers of that family unit. Any re-
sponsible person may apply for
canning sugar for a person, or for
a family unit, upon written order
or said person or family unit. In
all cases the war ration books
must be presented to the registrar
at the time sugar is applied for.
Subsequent applications may be
made according to the availability
of canning fruit, Mr. Moore said,
but the sugar must be used for the
purpose for which it is obtained.
