Yes. and that helped to ruin the price for our farmers. ONIONS In my opinion the onion growers need further protection. They are competing for American markets against onions grovn by pauper labor in Egypt and Spain. Two years ago the gardeners near my home city of Walla Walla. Wash.. destroyed in their field 175 carloads of luscious onions. ns large and larger than your fist and of unsurpassed quality and flavor. because they could not pay the freight and handling charges and compete with Egyptian onions in Ameri& an markets. Onions are grown commercially from Washington and California to Massachusetts and from Michigan.
