Destroying wild Onions.


A correspondent asks for way or
destroying wild onions. A heavy APP
plication of salt to the ground occupied
by the onions, or water at the boiling
point will kill them. 1t might be DIM
cult to make this application on any
large scale, however.
We believe that the best way OF
dealing with the problem is by putting
the ground so troubled in some crop
calling for clean culture. No plant -
known to us that can live through this
sort of treatment, and probably, all
things considered, it is the most eco
nomical way of removing the difficulty.
BY it all undesirable vegetable CROWNS
can be brought to an end. Some plants
are almost certain to be missed BY any
of the other methods employed WITH
this object in view.-Home and Farm

The plants were set two and a.halt

and occupied about half Of the radish
ground. A stake was driven at eacn
plant at once and the plants tied se-
curely. After the plants had started
growing I applied a small quantity. or

the plants became too large for this y
used an ordinary garden hoe. AS the
plants grew it was necessary to con-
tinue tying them up, as they are very
tender and easily broken by the wind
About the time the plants began TO
fruit I applied a small shoveiful OF

season advanced the price of peppers
