OPPORTUNITIES IN ONIONS.

intelligent Planters.

Probably no vegetable shows
greater increase in consumption than
lie onion. Not only is domestic stock
argely increased, but the Importation
IL Spanish and Bermuda onion is of
great volume annually.
The onion is not only nutritious.
but possesses great medicinal proper
les for clearing the complexion and
senovating the system.
Market gardeners are now giving
as much attention to cuItiyating ON.
.ons as in raising cabbage, and al
.hough the volume of production
shows reasonable growth, the market
aas not been glutted with the stock.
The onion is voracious feeder.
and thrives best on rich soil; much
lands composed largely OF humus are
admirably adapted to the crop. The
and needs to be well underdrained
and protected from overflow, as wa
Ter standing on the crop for any length
9f time will destroy the bulbs.
Commercial fertilizers are used. and
these fertilizers should be rich in pot
ash to insure a good bottoming of the
crop. Not all muck lands are natural
~ adapted to onion culture, but can
easily be made adaptable to the crop
Success in onion culture demands
industry and vigilance
The white and yellow onion require
five pounds of seed sown to the acre.
In rows fourteen inches apart, to in
sure good stand.
The large white globe variety re-
luire six pounds Of seed per acre.
The weeds must be kept down be-
tween the rows with a hand eultiva-
tor and out of the rows by hand weed
ing. Onion raising is an industry adj
mirably adapted to the farmer on a
arge scale, or to truck gardeners who
sell their truck around cities. 1t is
an easy cultivated crop. Like picking
berries children ten or twelve years
of age can do much of the wedding.
In raising onions the fashion of the
market should be considered. In the
East the small white and yellow on
ions are the most popular In the
West the large white, md in the
South, the red onion The fiat bulbs
are the most popular, and the color
can be improved by the proper meth
cd of harvesting the crop, which
should be stored in dry shed after
having been cured two to four days
in the sun. The crop, like the apple,
can be made most attractive by prop
er grading and marketing in crates.

PREPARATION FOR COTTON

Proving and Fertilization viii "a
Found Advantageous Just Now.
The average cotton planter has but
httie conception of the necessity of
thoroughly preparing cotton land
Most OF them regard blowing as sim
ply a necessity only when the land
Is oYerrun with grass or weeds. How
ever, many are getting out of the idea.
and realize that blowing at other
tunes Is prime object in securing
good crops, and in this connection
they are particularly realizing that
fertilization or feeding to the plant
certain plant food at the time of pIow-
ing, IS also a very important item nee
essary to the successful out-turn of
a crop. especially at this season of
the year, when there is little else to
90, plowing can be carried on TO great
advantage, and it will lessen the
amount of work necessary later in
the season, when there is a rush on
the farm.
There are certain rules which must
De observed on the farm in blowing
at this season. There is a possibility
that the new soil will be too wet and
should not be turned up and allowed
to sun-dry. This permits the plant
food to escape, and more than this,
It practically deadens the soil SO ex-
posed in its wet state.
Narrowing the soil is practically I'M
heard Of in cotton farming, and yet
there are tens of thousands of acres
Of corn and other grain land in the
great grain belt that is always thor
oughly narrowed before the crop is
planted. Farmers who will harrow
a small piece of cotton land will find
the experiment very profitable. The
idea to be carried out under the pres
ent conditions is to accomplish as
much as possible with the=least ex-
penditure Of labor To do this It is
necessary to have half dozen things.
but early blowing is one of the most
essential-thorough cultivation, good
season. and above all high fertiIiza-
ton and proper handling Of the crop
will work wonders Try the plan of
special preparation on a few acres
Look out for the difference in prof
its and see If it will not justify fewer
acres.-J. c. McAuliffe, in Farm and
Home

BETTER HASTEN SLOWLY.

Now is the time to think about the
price of cotton next fall BY diversi-
flying and properly restricting cotton
acreage, the total yield can be kept
within limits where the price will be
satisfactory. That is really the only
sure way of playing the game. The
Spectators have all along tried to
brighten the farmers with two bug
bears: first, that the mills had sup
plies to last for two years; second, the
mills would close down. Well. an
idle mill is a dead loss to the owner,
it can not be turned to anything else;
whereas the farmer can change his
cotton factory to a corn, oats, wheat,
cabbage and potato factory, and still
manage to get returns for his invest
ment and and his labor Hence, II the
farmer will but intelligently regulate
his prices by the law of supply and
demand. there can be no reason, out
side of his own lack Of cohesiveness
why he should not win the day. Nat
urally, the spinners try to get cotton
as cheap as possible and no one
hIames them for that Why then cen
sure the farmers when they try to
get the best price for their products?

Save all the Manure Possible.

Keep the stable lot we'll Uttered
with leaves and straw for the stock S
sake and for the lands sake, is the
advice given by the Southern Farm
Gazette A load of manure in the sta
BILE is worth more to the farmer than
sack Of fertilizer at the factory
There is great deal more in stable
manure than mere plant food It con-
tains myriads of bacteria that in some
way unknown TO the average farmer
break down and liberate plant food in
the soil, which make it of far more
value than commercial fertilizer con-
tanning an equal amount of plant food
Save all the manure possible. If it
does not lessen the fertilizer bill it
will increase the crop production.
On days when neither blowing nor
other work can be done. if they are
convenient to the field. it will pay to
haul rotted leaves and throw directly
on the land. The fertilizing value will
justify the hauling. and the organic
matter added to the soil will also be
helpful.
