ALL Kth three generations of onion-growfng experience you might expect Utah's Call brothers to know their business from A to Z. Well, Call onions regularly top the market. Just growing quality onions isn't the whole story," Reuben Call assured me. "Our onions are harvested, cured and ready for sale by October but spring prices are usually better than fall prices. You've got to be able to store your onions in a warm dry place to market them at their best during winter and spring. That's why we built our warehouse to keep quality qual-ity in our onions until we're ready to sell them." The Calls get big yields their main crop SpanisH-type onions run almost a thousand 50-pound bags to the acre. Our soil is ricH to start with," Reuben explained, "mucK of it washed down here from the Wasatch Mountains. We add barnyard manure heavily each fall and rotate two years of onions with one year of alfalfa. Our crop rotation also helps to keep down onion pests thrips are the worst. But if we keep our onions growing rapidly, by frequent irrigations, thrips can't make much headway and we do not have to dust or spray. Another thing that gives us good yields and good quality is our seed. The original seed was brought from Spain by a neighbor. And we improve the strain each year by selecting our best onions to make seed. "Harvesting is all by Hand. In September and October the onion tops wilt and dry. We then pull out the plants, cut off the tops, and leave the onions on the ground, in, gunny sacks, to cure for about 10 days. Field-grading Field-grading is done with a portable lyman (above, at left) and Riibn in their newly built onion warehouse, the first of its kind in Davis County. To prevent rot in stored onions, heat is circulated through two upper floors from a coal furnace fur-nace in the basement. The Calls' warehouse holds about 4800 50-lb. sacks of onions - This I Lyman Call, third ' partner. In addition to onions, the Calls grow beans, peas, cantaloupes, turnips, parsnips, carrots . and sweet corn. They farm -about 85 acres ia all r SAFEWAY --K This grand old man, now past 70 and retired, is David Call. He's grown a lot of onions in his time. Mr. Call's pioneer father, Anson Call, started with onions shortly after he arrived in Davia County back in 1848. David Call followed in his footsteps. And his 7 sons all grow onions as does one son-in-law Rsubn Call is holding a sack of choice dry Spanish-type Spanish-type onions raised by three Call brothers who are partners Reuben, David, Jr., and Lyman, Reuben acts as sales manager. Main crop is Spanish -type onions but the Calls also grow small bunched onions and the white pickling type grader we built. Onions to be 6old immediately are sacked in 50-pound mesh bags the rest are stored in onion crates. "Safeway's our best buyer and we Calls lite their way of 'doing business. The Safeway people want our best-grade onions and usually pay a premium price for them, always at least the going price. We've never known them to make a spoilage claim or ask a rebate or discount after a car has been shipped. T believe this country needs efficient, food distribution. Safeway's got a system that helps everybody. -They buy direct cut handling costs, and save their store customers considerable money. With these savings people can afford more good food which benefits us growers" Your Safeway Farm Reporter i This Is David Call, Jr., partner with Reuben and Lyman. The Call brothers now have about 15 acres in onions, near Woods Cross, Davis County. This onion acreage is being increased.
