Winter Storing of Onions,

The winter storing of onions is al
ways attended with more or less loss. If
not thoroughly cured when sorted, many
of the bulbs will sprout and others
will decay if they have sustained even
slight bruises in harvesting. There will
be more or less shrinkage and a large
percentage of the onions will be lost if
the proper care is not given to ventila-
tion and maintaining the desired tenn
perature. For these and other reasons
most growers prefer to dispose of the
crop as soon as possible and are willing
to accept low prices rather than run the
risk of loss by storage.
1t is absolutely essential for success
ful winter storing that the bulbs should
be we'll matured, thoroughly cured, not
bruised, and in perfectly dormant
state. Most growers prefer topping the
onions before storing. Sheep shears can
be used to advantage in this work, leav-
ing about an inch of the onion top ex-
tending above the bulb. The sorting
may also be done by hand or by means
Of a screen, the rods or Stats of which
diverge, letting the bulbs fall into three
hoppers, separating the onions into three
grades. Pacific Rural Press.

cause it is more valuable on land under

it is 9 complete fertilizer, while the
