Show Produce Moving Out To Market; $15 For Cabbage Shipping of early cabbage from American Fork and vicinity has already al-ready started, with three carloads consigned to California moving out in late August, according to Roy Hampshire of Hines and Company, produce dealers. Growers received $15 a ton for their cabbage, Mr. Hampshire said. With this price prevailing, growers should realize a fair return on their crop. However, the local crop is below be-low normal, the yield being from 50 to 60 per cent of an average yield. This year's earlier season has also resulted in onions coming on the market a little sooner than usual. Shipping of onions, has started, eight carloads having been loaded out. The onion crop in this vicinity is estimated at from 60 to 75 per cent of a normal yield. Premium prices are being paid on fancy onions the larger sizes, while the smaller sizes are commanding com-manding fair prices on the market. Cauliflower already is moving out, and a good crop of string beans has been picked and canned. Prospects for celery are good, with about 25 acres in this vicinity expected to be ready about the first of November. A good crop of potatoes also Is expected. |
