Millions Of Onions.

Fourteen million bushels Of onions
were raised In the United States last
year. and so great was the demand that
100000 bushels more were imported
from Spain. Egypt, Bermuda and
the south sea islands. The value Of
Americas crop was $10.O00.OO0. and
the department Of agriculture believes
that Of 1909 should be worth twice as
much. It has just issued a bulletin on
the subject as a gentle reminder to
the average farmer and truck grower
that they are overlooking the onion
Eas if any one could do such a thing.
For many centuries this vegetable
thriyed only in thelvalleys and low

sods have made It possible to raise It
with profit on the hilltops. The Ber-

CORN AND FODDER TIME,

Progressive Farmers Cure the Crop 4,
They Do Wheat.
All through August and far into the
autumn months, according to locality,
the corn harvest will be under way.
In the south it is called fodder pull
ing time" Wherever corn Is grown
the cas- for gathering it In is al
ways interesting. There seems to be
more sentiment in the corn harvest
than in any other. At the same time the
work of stripping corn from the stalk
and in stacking the fodder shocks is
not altogether play. The progressive
farmers of the northern and middle
states are more expert in the saving of
fodder than are the farmers Of the
south. The plan is simple. They cut
down the stalks, blades and all, and
cure them in the shocks as many farm
ers do with their wheat and eats.
Many southern farmers have tried
the plan Of cutting and curing In
shocks and afterward swapping OF the
ears and shredding the blades and
stalks.
For a year or two the plan was very
popular. 1t looked as If it would be al
most universally adopted. Those who
were fortunate in getting first class
.shredding machines and who exercised
ordinary judgment and skill In han
ding the corn crop in this way were
delighted with their experience, and
man. are still following the practice.
For ten or twelve years the Georgia
experiment station has practiced the
cutting and shocking and shredding
system. and this plan is still pursued
with satisfaction. One or two years,

The cowpea is a large beanlike plant
that produces a large amount Of for

or for blowing under for green ma

for improving wornout soils, especial
iy those that are light and sandy in

this purpose is its ability to gather
nitrogen from the air and mineral ele-
merits from subsoil. When the crop
is plowed under these are left near

ESTIMATING THE WHEAT.
Probabilities Of the Outcome Of I Very
Interesting Season.

Probabilities Of the Outcome Of 4 Very
interesting Season.
The wheat season starts with small
or reserves ven than In the famous
year 1891. when low supplies Of old
wheat, followed by a 30 per cent short
age in the European crop and a
1O0,00O.0O0 bushel increase in our own.
had some remarkable financial results.
This mean a sure and quick market
for the new crop. It is impossible as
yet to estimate the probable foreign
wheat harvest Of 1909; latest advices
indicate that, while the crop in France,
England and Russia will be sufficient,
Germany and the Danube states have
Jared badly. so that the total European
crop will hardly match the abundant
yield Of 1905 and 1905. The obvious
meaning Of such a situation Is that
Europe must have such Of our wheat
surplus as the American market can
spare and must pay fair prices for It.
Had the winter wheat estimate Of
Aug. II confirmed the 4OO,OOO,OOO
bushel prediction current q few weeks
before, instead of raising the calcula-
ton to 432, 100000. and had the spring
wheat promise been in any way seri-
ously impaired the country would
scarcely have escaped a later repeti-i
ton of the Chicago speculation Of last
May and u export trade would have
been greatly restricted. But 100000
extra bushels make a considerable diff
ference.
1t still remains to see what happens
to our spring wheat crop and to for
eign crops in the two remaining
months. But as matters stand, how
ever, there are several reasonable in
ferences:
First, the American farmer will sell
an abundant wheat crop at highly
remunerative, prices; second. those
prices are not likely to go again to
the famine figure" which will impose
hardship on consumers; third. the
railways will have the average amount
of wheat to transport to market;
fourth, our export Of wheat and -four,
which in the past twelve months vas
cut down 100000 bushels from the
year before and 31,OOO.OO0 from two
years ago. should be increased by
twenty-five to forty millions. thereby
helping our market for international
exchange and at the same time easing
the strain on Europe's wheat trade.

Quality In Farm Labor.

could be obtained If they could be
legally promised jobs in advance. AS

1t will mean a loss to the farmer to

loss every time she is frightened. To
run a COW to pasture is like throwing

AFTERNOON.
CONFESSION IS SECURED ONE AMENDMENT PASSED
Senator clapp Is Successful in Having
Holding Companies included in the
Corporation Tax Amendment-BiIl
Will Be Rushed to the Lower House
as Soon as Is Possible

Washington. July with gem
eral understanding that the final vote
in the senate on the tariff bill should
be taken by 4 o'clock tomorrow after
noon, the senate adjourned at Z
O'Clock this evening in pleasant an
tlcipaton of the early conclusion Of
the labors of the special session of
congress The arrangement for a vote
tomorrow was only arrived at as an
alternative for a night session to
night. The prospect is that tomorrow
will be as fully occupied as was the
long session today. 1T is expected that
the bill as perfected will receive prac-
tically all of the republican votes with
the exception of the vote Of Senator
McEnery Of Louisiana, which will be
cast against it.
When passed the measure will be
hurried to the house, which Is ex-
pected to be in session Friday morn
ing to receive 1t. The income tax
question, including the corporation
tax provision and inheritance taxes,
received much attention in the SEN
ate today, and the straight income
tax advocates We're afforded the OPP
portunity upon which they have SO
long insisted to get vote in favor Of
the income tax as opposed to the cor
poration tax, With the corporation
provision thus securely established as
part of the tariff bill, there was
considerable effort to amend it, and III
one notable case this effort was sue
cessful. Senator Clapp Of Minnesota
has been a severe critic Of the proSi-
sion ever since its introduction, be-
cause 1t excluded holding. compa-
MES. He renewed his criticism today
and was supported in his views by
other senators. The ultimate result
was the acceptance by Senator AID
rich of an amendment by Mr. Clapp
striking out the exemption of such
companies. Assurance was also given
that every effort would be made to
retain the amendment in conference.
Next to the income tax, the discus
sion of the customs court was the big
feature of the days work Senator
Clapp ntimated that the court would
owe its existence largely to the places
where IFS sessions would be held and
Senator Borah asserted that it was an
impeachment of the present judiciary.
Senator Aldrich and Senator Lodge
defended the court. The debate over
the court provision resulted in the ae-
ceptance of the finance committees
provision.
The tobacco tax provision will be
the principal subject Of consideration
tomorrow.
