necessity of rebuilding deprives the Valley of that industry for several mouths and uses capital that would otherwise be avail able for other Valley enterprises. Neither the Valley nor any of it's towns can be built up in any such spirit as that which the Standard attributes to be people of Imper- lal in the above quoted editorial. We repudiate the broad hint of lncendlarism made in that editor ial and maintain that if there is a man in Imperial who would be guilty of snch a thing he has come to the town since we moved away. He wasn't in the town when we lived there.

that in asmuch as the onion was a cold weather plant, the seed should not be sown until late in September.
 We are in hopes that large number of people will enter this new and promising field, and we predict success for those who de- vote their time to raising onions.
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-08-18

In many places throughout the Valley onion culture Is receiving considerable attention, and we are informed that large acreage will be set out to this promising crop the coming fall. Seed men have been in the field for several weeks explaining the methods of sowing and cultivation practiced in other localities where onion growing has proved very profit able industry. That this valley will prove itself a world-beater as a producer of onions there seems to be but little doubt. The proper cultural method Is what should be looked after the most. Some experience was gained last year by few who raised small tracts, and this will aid in some ways to help the prospective grower to determine a successful method.
 However, we have received so many inquiries regarding the growing. cultivation, marketing and probable output and profit of an onion crop, that we have taken considerable pains to se- cure from the best authorities as much information as possible and this week devote considerable space to the subject. Of course, conditions here are different to some extent and the reader will have to make allowance for that.
 The question of seed seems to be quite as important a matter in onion as in cantaloupe grow ing. The Bermuda variety un- d doubtedly leads as a favorite, not only as a yielder, but as a shipper, and it is claimed for it that 1t does not taint ones breath, and the flavor is mild and sweet, making it very desirable as a seller.
 A seed man talking at meet ing at Brawley recently, stated
