The New Onion Culture.


Col Glazier, horticulturist of the
Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment
Station, writes: That too many fail
ures have occurred with our truck
growers in raising onions from seed
will not be disputed by those who have
given some attention to this depart
ment of vegetable gardening. Perhaps
in no other country should this new
method be more seriously considered
than in our territory. First the seeds
must be placed in the ground very
early in order to insure satisfactory
crop, all will agree. The seed onion
is very slow grower, will hardly keep
pace with the weeds, thus we find too
often the case that the onion bed Is
given over to the weeds. Good onion
ground should be highly fertilized, and
the ground deeply plowed the fall be-
fore. The onion seed should be sowed
in hot beds prepared the same as a
bed for cabbage, or tomato plants. per.
NIT the onions to grow to the size of a
pencil, or even larger if you please.
Then replow your ground about the
first of May, pillow the weeds under.
making an onion bed in fact. furrow
your ground lightly eighteen inches
apart for the rows; a small child NAV
drop the plants so that they may be
set four inches apart in the rows: the
coverer follows closely and presses
about one inch of we'll pulyerized soil
firmly about the roots; the main nor.
ton of the labor has been performed
when properly set; your onions are
ahead of the weeds. and with but little
work can be kept there. There ia no
thinning out to be done, while the SET
ting out Is but half of the labor az
thinning out. There is a saving. ~
about one-half of the seed, and what
is still better. your onions thus treated
will reach the market nearly ona,
month earlier than the old method
thus insuring larger remunerat tom
for your labor, besides much labor ia
saved in cultivation.

The news here quoted caused pro-

A telegram from General Shafter an.
nouncing that he has made 9 demand
for the immediate surrender of San
tiago, and believed the place would be
surrendered, strengthens the belief
that the good news is tree. General
Shafter, in his demand for the surren-
der OF Santiago city. threatened to
shell tho place unless his demand was
promptly complied with, which would
seem to indicate that the American
fleet must be in position to do the
bombarding. ~ .>.< s.SA ~
- All Sorts Of Theories. -
All sorts of theories are being adj
vanced as to how the Spanish feet was
destroyed, the most tenable being that
Admiral Sampson made dash into
Santiago harbor and engaged the enc
my in his chosen waters. It is thought
the movement was prearranged to oc-
cur while the land forces were engag-
ing the attention of the enemy in such
q way as to distract it from probable
attack by sea. It is also suggested
that perhaps Cervera made dash to
escape what seemed inevitable capture
when the American forces had taken
Santiago city, but the former theory
is thought most likely.
