Onion Growing on a Sand Ridge.

turn to his sanctum wrote as follows in
his journal, the Dispatch, Farmer and
Fruit Grower, concerning one of the
crops grown in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT exper-
mental garden
While in DeLand we spent considerable
time looking over the onion garden OF
Mr.. e. O. Painter, though, of course, at
that season the onions had all been har-
vested. Mr.. Painter will not be offended
with us for describing it as sand ridge,
for this candid statement of it's quality
only makes his success the more praise
worthy.
He grows the white Bermuda variety,
getting his seed from Peter Henderson
company, from whom he feels certain of
securing the genuine article. About No.
vember / is his favorite time for sowing
the seed.
After the land was plowed he sowed on
it broadcast about 600 pounds Of
Davidge's vegetable fertilizer and har-
rowed it in, then smoothed the surface
with the granger or plank-drag, which
bears q general resemblance, in shape
and office, to the cotton board. This
presses down the seed bed and prevents
drying out.
The seed is put in with wheel drill in
rows, about fourteen inches apart, where
the onions are to grow. Four pounds OF
seed were drilled on about an acre; this
gave an abundance of plants, some OF
which were plucked and sold while tender.
When about the size of ones finger
these are very much in favor with mar
ket goers; and selling at eight cents a
bunch they fetch enough to pay the ex-
penses of cultivation. If this does not
thin out the plants sufficiently, enough
more are pulled out by the weeders to
give a proper stand. -...
During the cultivation tho Humo Chem
ical fertilizer, onion brand manufactured
i'll DeLand was applied several times,
being streWn along lightly beside the
rows and cultivated in.
Along in March the onions are made to
cease growing and come to ripeness by a
cessation of the irrigation and cultiva-
ton. Ii this does not suffice the tops are
broken over, which forces the bulbs to
mature. They are plucked and thrown
into heaps, and the tops and roots clipped
off with shears. The onions sold green
are washed for the market, but it is not
found advisabletO wash matured onions.
The total cost of the fertilizer applied
to the lot, not quite an acre, the past sea-
son was about $50. The crop was not
quite all sold when we were there, but
will not vary but little from 1875 bushels.
Some of them were shipped to Jackson
vile, but the greater part of them we're
sold to the green grocers in DeLand at
$3 bushel. The crop from the acre will
probably net at least $500. We have
said the sale of green bulbs paid the ex-
pense of culture; this leaves only the cost
of irrigation to be deducted. 1t is safe
to say the acre paid 1915 clear of>all ex-
penses what ever.
The first year Mr.. Painter had only
about three-fourths of an acre, and
reaped clear profit Of $172 from it.
The second year he had the same lot, but
fortified the greater part OF it with dis

CHA COyNTt EoR FRUIT.

Pomology has not received tho at- tention, in Gila county, which it de- serves, yet the test of our soil and at mosphere for the cultivation of all fruits found in n temperate or semi tropical climate has boon sufficiently extensive to establish conclusively that the conditions here prevailing are es- peeially favorable to their successful propagation.
 A very few years ago fruit was at all seasons an expensive luxury with us, most of it of Gn inferior quality, and all brought from distance. This year by common consent poor season in Arizona-Globe has enjoyed an album dance of luscious grapes and peaches-- not to mention a profusion of melons
 while apples, pears, plums, apricots, figs and small fruits, if no. plentiful, have proved their adaptabihty 10 our soil.
 Gila county affords variety of soils and wide range of climatic conditions, offering natural home to the orange, lemon and fig of semi-tropical climate, as well us to the more hardy apple, peach, cherry and plum of the temper ate zone, Any gradation of climate may be found within her borders, so that the success of the fruit grower is dependent largely upon wise choice of location. Deciduous fruits not only grow to perfection here, but attain q fine flavor seldom possessed by that grown in the hot valleys south of us
 And this suggests the belief, in no wise visionary, that few years hence, when Central Arizona shall have been penetrated by railroads, making easily accessible the markets of the southwest, the elevated plateaus and mountainous regious of this section will become q successful competitor with the valleys of the Salt and Gila, in the production of fine fruit, and in the propagation of some varieties will far surpass it.

It is to be regretted that the first trial of electricity ill the infiction of the death penalty was not entirely sat isfactory. The fact that second shock was resorted te to insure Kemuliefs s iIeath, has given the electrical manu- lecturers who 30 streuuously opposed the law, and succeeded several times in deferring the execution of the sentence, a chance which they will make the most of, to create an adverse public opinion that will contend for the repeal of the law.
 Kemmler's case had created such widespread interest that the newspapers eagerly embraced the opportunity to work up first class sensation by exag- gerating the defects of the execution, and embellishing the account with start ling headlines conveying false i'm precision of the occurrence,
 Experts best qualified to express an opinion, assert that Reminders death was a painless one, and that uncon- sciousness was produced upon the ill., stant the electric current coursed through the victims body. The con traction of the muscles is no evidence of pain, but invariably accompanies the execution of criminals by other method.
 If it is expedient to make the death of murderers painless, then electrocu- tion must be accorded the preference over hanging. But the fact that it re- ques expensive and complicated ma chinery, and expert electricians to ad- minister it will prevent its general application.
