TrnnsnInntIng Onions.

The new method" of onion culture,
which is the growing of onions from
plants started in a seed-bed and trans
planted to the field, is becoming more
popular and is quite extensively prac-
ticed in other sections of the country.
The operation of transplanting onions
is slow, and usually considered an ex-
pensive one, and the inexperienced on
ion grower is liable to think it is TOO
IabOrious and not a paying proposition.
But as q matter of fact, it is no more
expensive than the thinning out and
transplanting of the vacant spots of
onions started in the field. 1t is slow
work to thin out the small onions and
leave in place, at the proper distance In
the row. the plants that are to be left
without disturbing them. If the onions
are quite thick, or have come up in
punches, and the soil is at all hard and
sticky, the thinning is still slower and
more expensive. The onions, which
are transplanted in the vacant spots IN
the rows, make the fields look uneven.
This is due to the transplanted onions
not recovering for some time from the
operation, while the plants left intact
in the rows continue to grow and con-
sequently their growth is larger. This
unevenness of growth, while not a seri-
Gus drawback does not occur in a field
where all the onions have been trans
planted.
AS stated in Press Bulletin No. So,
the results of last years work with
onions at the station show that 1t was
cheaper to transplant from the seed
bed than to thin the onions grown In
the field and transplant i'm the vacant
spots. plat of one-tenth of an acre
was transpanted with onions grown in
a cold-frame. The rows were 300 feet
long by fifteen inches wide, with the
onions four inches apart in the row,
making 300 onions to the row or 5000
to the plat. The onions were irrigated
Immediately after transp1anting. The
cost of transplanting this plat of the
5000 onions amounted to 81 95. This
included the cost of the first irrigation,
bringing the onions from the cold
frame to the field and the dropping or
them about the proper distance in the
row. 1t was observed that better time
could be made by having a man drop
the onions a little in advance of the
man setting them. At this rate it
would cost S29 so to transplant an acre,
or 10000 onions. The thinning and
transplanting in the vacant spots of a
similar plat cost "a 10. The estimated
cost of thinning an acre would be SAL,
practically one-fourth more than in the
former case.
The distance to plant onions varies.
but the most common one (when hand
culture is practiced) seems to be from
twelve to fifteen inches between the
rows and from four to four and one
half in the row. Many of the authori-
ties on onion-growing give 100000 to
10000 onions to the acre.

and everything should be in readiness
because it soon deprec.ates in value
after it is ripe enough to cut In order
to make the best brush it should be
cut in the dough state. A small patch
for seed can be left to fully mature.
The standard varieties are harvest
ed by breaking two rows together in
such manner as to form table upon
which the heads, after cut, are laid
to cure. 1t should remain in the field
about day. a light rain or heavy
dew Injuries the brush.
1t is well, if possible, to cure it en-
tirely in a shed. But if put in while
green it must be placed in thin layers,
which require considerable extra shed
room. If left in the field, however,
about day after cutting, until it is
nearly cured, it can be piled in good
sized layers under cover, and seeded
when convenient. The seeding is done
by holding the brush on a cylinder
similar to threshing machine cylin-
der. After it has been seeded it should
be bulked down in good-sized piles
and allowed to dry until the stems
break quite readily Then it is ready
to bale. Both the seeder and a baler
for a small farmer can be made by
any carpenter at d small cost.
The yield varies, of course, with the
soil and locality, but a good average
yield is a ton of threshed brush from
three to five acres.An experienced hand
can cut about one acre a day. The
threshed and bailing costs about 81
Fer ton. The price varies so much that
the profits for one year can seldom be
assumed as a standard. Ordinary brush
one year with another averages about
$50 to $40 a ton.
1t is a good crop on the sod. 1t
shades the ground and helps to rot
the sod, besides making as good a
growth as katir or sorghum without
cultivation.
The seed and the stalks are utilized
for feed, but their feeding value is low
and it would hardly pay to raise it for
feed alone, although in the western
part of Oklahoma dwarf broom corn
is sometimes sown for roughness in
stead of sorghum because it does not
sour in the stack so badly. After the
brush is harvested the stalks can be
used for forage and then plowed I'M
der, making an excellent green ma
nure.
There are many varieties of broom
corn, but Mammoth Dwarf" and of
the standard varieties Improved
Evergreen" and california Golden"
have proved to be very satisfactory in
Oklahoma. Seed can be secured from
local raisers or from Western seeds
men.
Broom corn is a cash CROP" and
like other cash crops has favorable
and unfavorable features. It's cultiva-
ton on a very large scale is seldom
successful, but if properly handled on
a small scale. say from fifteen to
twenty-five acres for the average far
mer, and especially on new land where
the variety of sure crops is limited, it
Will prove paying crop.
