Onion Growing.


soil which is easily kept in mellow
condition Such soils are confined
mostly to river bottoms, and they con-
tain more vegetable matter and sand
than is commonly found in mesa and
upland soils. Laige amounts of de-
essential to the best development of
tbs crop.
Heavy soils are not suitable for
onion growing, for the reason that it
is difficult to make good seed bed,
and the surface is likely to bake and
crack, much to the injury of the young
plants 1t is difficult to get uniform
growth of onions on such soils, conse-
quently a large per cent of scullions
usually result.
The land for onions should be heavi-
ly fertilized with well-rotted stable
manure, and ploughed IN the fall or
very early in the spring; it is then
put in the very best condition for plant
ing.
The onion seed should be sown early
much of it being planted in March, and
all should be in the ground by the 10th
of April. Early seeding is necessary,
for the reason that the bulbs should
make most of their growth before hot
weather comes on. The seed is sown
about one inch deep with hand drills,
using from 31s to a pounds per acre
The distance between the rows de-
pends upon the system of irrigation to
be followed. If the field is to be flood |
ed, the rows are usually made IL to Ia
inches apart, but if the furrow system
is adopted, the ground is ploughed out |
in ridges about 80 inches apart and |
then fattened to about 8 inches on top.
Two rows, three inches apart, are
rows between the double rows being
used for irrigation and cultivation.
Most growers try to plant the seed so
that the plants will be * inches apart
so as to avoid thinning.
Cultivation and wedding is begun by
hand as soon as the plants appear
above the ground. The hand wheel
hoe is used, but the thinning and some
Of the wedding must be done by hand.
If good onion soil has been selected,
but little irrigation will be needed in
the fore part of the season. In the
heavier soils, where the water is run
in burrows between double rows, the
irrigation is begun earlier, and every
effort is exerted to keep the ground
moist.
Harvesting is begun by the 18th of
September and the crop is usually all
put of the field by the middle of Octo-
Der. The bulbs are pulled by hand
and thrown into winrows. After they
have been completely cured, the tops
are removed, and the onions are sorted
and sacked. Topping is done by cut
ting off the tops about a half-inch
abpve the bulb, taking care TO make
a smooth cut SO as not to injure the
outer coverings.
The principal markets for Colorado
onions are in Texas, though some are
sem as far east as St. Louis.
A great many varities have been
tested, and the so-called new onion
culture has been attempted. The +
have gradually narrowed
down to one, the Yellow Danvers.
This variety seems well adapted to our
conditions of soil and climate.
Good seed is prerequisite to sue
cess. Good homegrown seed from
selected bulbs has given by far the
best results The cost of growing an
onion crop may be estimated at about
$50 an acre.

Fred Carpenter Is Amusement Mentor

Carpenter takes the place OF one.
With Carpenter 1t has become . SCI
ence.
Perhaps the role of critic may de-
tract from his own amusement, for
when he visits performance Mr..
Carpenter looks at it entirely through
the eyes Of his chief. How would
the president enjoy this?" is his view
point-and from that viewpoint he
rules. Fearing that he might mis-.
take. having recommended a certain
play to the president. he attends
second time. this time not to watch
the play. but its effect on the presi.
dent. If 1t is what it should be, Car.
penter heaves a sigh of contentment
and departs for home
All of which makes Carpenter q
man greatly courted by the theatrical
managers. They send him invitations,
for himself and Mrs. Carpenter. And,
although there is no Mrs Carpenter,
the secretary having avoided the
rocks Of matrimony, these invitations
are usually accepted. There is no
halfway efforts on the part Of the
company when Carpenter attends.
That's when they put themselves to
their prettiest PAGES.
