Two items are essential in growing
onions, says the St Louis Republic.
One is rich soil. loamy enough to be

the other is to plant early. In regard
to planting. the only safe rule is to
have everything in readiness. that the
planting can be done at the first favor.

Fifty girls have taken up the study
Of scientific farming at the Minneapolis
College Of Agriculture. and the result
Of the new departure will be watched
with interest throughout the country as
affecting the welfare of the sex, If the
innovation shall prove successful it will
naturally spread to other agricultural
states, and its most important results
may turn ont to be social rather than
directly agricultural in character. Here
tofore n great draw back of farming
has been the difficulty of keeping the
boys upon the farm With trained and
educated girls taking mp the profession,

on a new charm, and the hegira of farm

HIS INJURY PROVED FATAL.
DEATH OF ALFRED e. MORRI-
SON YESTERDAY.
Everything Indicates That He Re-
ceived His Injury Through an
Accident to His Wheel.

Alfred E. Morrison, the young
plumber who was found unconscious on
the race track at Agricultural Park on
tuesday, died at his home, 516 Twenty
third street, few minutes after
O'Clock yesterday
There were rumors about town yes
terday to the effect that the injured
man had frequently cried out in de-
nrlum, Don't run over me! for GOO
sake don't run over mel" This was
taken to indicate that while riding his
wheel on the track some one had rur
MN down with a horse and Sulky OF
other vehicle.
A "Record-Union" reporter called al
the home of the deceased to ascertain
whether or not there was any truth
In the rumor. Mrs. Morrison said thai
so far as she knew her husband had
not uttered any such EXPLANATIONS at
ter he was taken home-in fact, tina,
he did not rally at all.
DR.. Fl. L. Nichols, the City Physl-
clan, who attended the injured mar
both at the Receiving Hospital and
subsequently at his home, said the pa
tiept at no time, in his hearing, uttered
any exclamation, being unconscious
from the first, so far as he knew.
A brother of the deceased told the
doctor that at one time yesterday, when
the patient rallied sufficiently to show
that he recognized the members of the
family, he asked him how the acct
dent occurred, and the patient NUT
tered something about a ''stone" OF
rock" but Immediately relapsed into
total Inconsistencies.
= The reporter, on further investigation
learned that a piece of brick was
found at the spot where the accident
occurred. 1t was covered with clay
and Morrison may have run upon il
without seeing it.
There is another possible explana-
ton of the accident. The rear whee
of Morrison's bicycle was found to bf
tightly locked 1t had some sort OF
automatic brake, operated by the real
sprocket, and it is possible that while
riding fast near the rail, or inner
fence. this brake went wrong and be
came suddenly set, in which a fall was
inevitable.
The unfortunate man left his home
near the park at II As a. m, and ii
was just quarter past u O'Clock
when he was found Shortly afterward
the track sprinkling wagon passed
over the spot and the water obl1terateo
any dust marks that might have given
an idea as to how the accident oc-
Cured.
Mr.. Morrison was native OF Duluth
Mimi, and in his twenty eighth year
He was member of the Odd Fellows
and Woodmen of the World, and had
been for long time in the employ Of
L. L. Lewis & Co. in the mechanical
department of their stove and house
furnishing store on street. He leaves

quest on the remains this evening.
