Harvesting and Keeping onions.

Harvesting and Keeping onions.
AS onions approach maturity. the
time OF harvesting them should be
carefully watched. When they are
mature the stems will show II By dry
ing up and looping over and the
onions should be harvested at this
time to avoid second growth start
ing In. II has been found by those
who grew them under irrigation that
the crop could be very easily spoiled.
This was done by there being a check
In the growth OF the onions just be-
fore maturity, and the irrigator think.
Ing he would continue the develop
ment by an extra watering. The ex.
ira watering resulted In starting what
is known az a second growth. a new
shoot being sent up from the onions
and many OF the onions dividing into
two parts. This Injuries them for sell.
ing In the markets. and also Injuries
their keeping qualities. II the onions
stop growing for any cause. either be-
cause they have not been supplied
with adequate water or because the
natural rain fall is not abundant, II Is
better TO harvest them at once, even
though they are somewhat Immature.
The best keeping varieties are fire.
quently the small ones. and among
the varieties the small onions keep
better than the large ones, This Il
due 10 the fact that the loss In weight
causes free evaporation and sprouting
Therefore they should be harvested
as soon as possible after they have
obtained their first growth and put in
cool place. that is. place not dry
enough and warm enough TO cause
evaporation OF moisture to start
growth.
