The new onion culture is becoming
so we'll known that it is almost mis-
nomer to call it new The modern
method differs from the old in that the
seed is sown under glass in February or
March and the plants set in the open
ground about the LIST Of May, cutting
back the tops and roots, too, if they are
long and putting them three inches
apart in the rows. The old way is to
plant seed in open field about April l.,
rows about Ii inches apart and thinning
plants to four inches. A heavy applica-
ton of barnyard manure gives better
results with onions than the more con-
centrated fertilizers.

In looking for the San Jose scale most
persons will pass it by unnoticed on ac-
count Of it's very small sizo. The female
scale is only about one twenty-fifth of
an inch in diameter, while the male is
only about one-half that size. The shape
of the female is nearly circular, while
the male is more elongated. The female
is sharply convex or conical in the
center. This last character will help to
distinguish it from many of the other
more common species. Its color is near
" like the bark ON which it is found
Another distinguishing character is
found in the reddish discoloration of the
bark Immediately surrounding the
scale, extending through both the outer
and inner bark. These characters will
enable one with an ordinary pocket mag
nifying glass to readily detect the pres
ence of the insect. Professor Throop,
