THE ONION CROP

Onion seed are cheap. and for start
ing a general crop 1t is better TO use
seeds than sets. Onion sets will pro-
duce green onions of size suitable
for table use much earlier in the
spring than will the seed, but they
cost more and are more difficult to
plant, and should not be used for gen
eral crop work.
The land for the onion bed should
be plowed in the fall or early winter,
and should be given surface cultiva-
tion just before planting the seed in
the spring. Unless the ground is new
and very fertile, IL will pay well TO
give the laad a dressing of well-rotted
barnyard manure. A good plan is to
grow crop of cowpeas on the ground
in late summer, and plow them under
in early fall. The ground will then be
in ideal condition for receiving an
onion crop in the early spring. With
the seed.bed thoroughly prepared, the
opportunities for good crop are
greatly increased.
The seed should be drilled in rows
about IS inches apart. The common
garden drill is the best tool that can
be used for this work. II is indispen-
sible. II large planting is TO be made,
for the garden work. however, small
rows can be laid out syith the hoe or a
stick and the seed drilled in by hand,
scattering the seed quite thickly in
the row. Cover with moist soil. and
firm the soil well down around the
seed. The seed should be planted no
deeper than is necessary to place
them in contact with moist soil. In
no case should they be planted more
than an inch and half or two inches
deep. II they can not be placed in
moist soil y inches below the sur
face, Il is better TO plant them deeper

from personal experience. She writes:

tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal

the other day of an American minister
who was spending his sabbatical year
travelling abroad. Arriving in London,
he made every effort to get an intimate
view of the two branches of Parliament
in session. OF course, no stranger is
allowed on the floor of the House of
Lords, but the minister not knowing
this, and with the usual amount of
American push, tried to make his way
in. There is a rule, however, that serv-
ants of the various loRds may be adj
mitted to speak to their masters. See
ing the minister walking boldly in, the
doorkeeper asked:
What lord do you serve?'
what lord?' repeated the astonished
American, the lord Jehovah"

tated and then admitted him. Turning
to an assistant standing near, he said:

Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for

Although l had but little faith l
commenced to use it and great was
nv surprise to find that l could eat it
without the usual pain and distress IN
my stomach.
so l kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was
shown. for my stomach was perform
