STORING THE ONION CROP.
Proper Way the Bulbs Should Be
Handled During Winter Season.


The Best practice is to spread in
ayers not more than inches deep
where the onions will have free ven.
ilation. When the tops are thorough
" dried they may be easily cut or
rubbed off and the bulbs stored in
ayers two feet deeper. or in crates OF
other convenient packages.
There are two very common meth
DDS of storing small quantities of
onions, One is to keep In dry loft or
attic the house where there is little
or no freezing. The other method Is to
allow the balbs TO freeze and then
cover with sufficient hay or straw to
keep them in a frozen condition until
used or until spring. The latter meth
Cd IS very satisfactory in the north.

eradicated within this time, or at least

Of crop rotation. Alfalfa should re-
main indefinitely, and if dodder re.

more difficult or impossible. This is
the prevailing condition in the west
The fact that the small-seeded alfalfa
dodder of the west has not become
established in the east Is of special
interest in this connection. Glover
dodder appears likely to prove most
troublesome in alfalfa culture in the
east.

found necessary. 1t then becomes i'm.
portant to know how far the crop can
be utilized without reseeding the land
to dodder.
1t is first important to gain control
before the plants nave spread iai
from the point Of attack; secondly.
and of greater importance, they
should be subdued before they pro-

It's delightful as a spread tor

More than this, Karo Corn Syr

so nutritious and sustaining has

benefits the old and young, the
weak and strong, digesting with

The method of packing and
