Onions Are Going to Waste Near Plymouth.

Valparaiso Messenger. It is said that hundreds of bushels of onions- are going to waste in the vicinity of Plymouth, and that they are being offered for sale at most any old price. Some of them have been sold at fifteen cents a bushel and it is a hard matter to dispose of them at that price. Last season was exceptionally good for the onion crop, and, as a result, hundreds of acres additional were planted. At Grovertown, near Plymouth, one field contains 1,500 bushels which have been frozen. When the weather gets warm enough to thaw they will rot and be worthless. It is declared that in Starke county hundreds of bushels were left standing in the field after harvest.
