SHIPPING ONIONS FROM NEWLAND FIELDS

Callahan Ships Eight Car Loads at 60 Gents a Bushel and Two Cars at 60 Cents. Indications point to a better price for onions this year and already agents have been buying them in the Newland fields. T. M. Callahan sold ten car loads, getting 60 cents a bushel for eight loads and 50 cents a bushel for two loads. John Wilson sold 1,000 bushels at. 56 cents. There is a splendid crop throughout tli& Jasper county onion fields this year and i't is hoped the price holds up throughout the year. Last year those who did not sell early, taking whatever they could get, suffered A total loss of theft crop. Ed Oliver has an immense-crop this year and will store it in his big onion plant and take chances on a higher priew this winter.
