-Onion-Growing.
BY c. r. Barns, Minnesota Uni
versity Farm. -,

Among the vegetables which most
invite the skilled endeavor of the
farmer, by the promise Of large pro-
duction and rich pecuniary returns,
the onion has few, If any, superiors:
From thoroughly prepared seed-bed,
carefully planted, sedulously cultivat-
ed, watched and weeded, the culti-
vator may gather a crop of 1000 bush
els or more to the acre, worth some
times $1.00 and seldom less than 25
cents per bushel. There is always a
market for them.
The onion successfully and tri-
umphantly fouts the theory of rota-
ton; and is certified by that very sue
cessful grower, Mr.. F. H. Gibbs
whose fields adjoin the University
Farm-to thrive better and mature
earlier if grown on the same ground
year after year, providing the land is
kept we'll manured." And he backs
this certificate by pointing to yield
on his land of 1000 bushels per acre,
on several acres, for successive years.
The best crops can seldom if ever
be raised the first year, on any land
chosen for onions. But land that has
previously grown any crop requiring
high culture and heavy manuring, and
is free from weed-seeds, will generally
do better than any other. Cultivation
and the persistent spreading of horse
manure, year after year, until the soil,
like that of Mr.. Gibbs, takes on the
appearance of powdered velvet-this
is what the onion appreciates. 1t ap-
preciates, too, a smooth, nearly level
surface, which will be little affected
by washing in heavy rain.
Having been plowed in the fall, as
early in the spring as the ground can
be worked, the land should be gone
over with disc harrow. Then, as soon
as it will work up fine, the soil should
be pulverized with a smooth-harrow or
plank, and the seed sown before the
soil gets too dry for termination. Mr..
Gibbs sows four pounds to the acre,
not more than" an inch deep, with the
drill set to throw two to three seeds to
the inch-~that is, if the previous test
ing has shown the termination to be
strong After the onions are up, a

stand of from twelve to fifteen plants
to the foot is considered good. To
growers using the Planet Jr." wheel
hoe, a distance of only twelve inches
between rows is recommended.
Mr.. Gibbs rolls his ground before
planting; begins cultivation as soon
as the rows can be seen; and there
after cultivates once week with a
wheel-hoe The last hoeing he does
with single high-wheel cultivator.
Hand-weeding commences with the
first wheelhoeing, and is repeated
three times in the season; care being
taken that the weeds get no such

Globe onions pay better than fat
ones, as buyers prefer them, and be
cause the yield is 25 per cent more in
weight than that of fiat onions

House. one could start row of hours

1t didn't matter about the direction.
A digit could not straighten itself
without indicating some statesman
who was sore and guilty. AS result
the closing weeks of the session in the
House have been disgraced by Ian
guage so ungentlemanly and disorder
so unstatesmanlike as to suggest ten
derloin saloon rather than dignified
law-making body. At any time about
the only special interest that could
control it's crowd was the brewery COM
bine. This situation frightened the
big Bosses the House who press the
button from above. Accordingly they
turned their attention to the Senate.
They feared that their House organ
ization might go to pieces and lose
control. Big politicians close to high
state officials joined with ENJOYS of
the steel trust to safek uard them
selves and their masters through a
belated effort to influence the situation
in the Senate. Their labors were
not in vain. The list of Senate cas-
ualties which shall give next week
corroborate that statement.
The Sanborn decision led to revi-
val of the eastman distance tariff
bill. This measure, introduced in
the lower branch by Mr.. Crane, was
recalled from the committee on Rail-
roads where it had been buried. with
out enbalment or obsequies, during
the whole session and pushed through
the House. The Speaker made a
spectacular plea for its enactment,
but it came too late. If this interest
had been exerted two months earlier
to get it out of the packed railroad
committee it might have counted.
AS it was, the eleventh hour rally was
a waste of head lines, because the
Senate promptly adjourned from
Thursday until Monday and with only.
two more working days the enemies
of the distance tariff in the upper
branch were able to delay it to its
second death.

his way into the reform school or

ROBERTS SAYS
TAFT WILL BE
NOMINATED

The following interview was Civ
en- by Congressman E. E. Roberts
to the Washington Post a few days
ago:
The state of Nevada will have
six delegates in the next republican
national convention, and we can
safely promise them a year in adj
vance to President William II. Taft.
Please keep in mind that six votes
are sometimes very much worth
while, and one electoral vote has
been known to elect a president
1t happens that President Taft is
sure of denomination, but there may
he conventions in which Nevada's
six votes will be much desired, es-
pecially as she casts those votes in
a possibly critical time of the CON
yention. SO don't wink the other
eye when Neyada's part in a presi-
Dental campaign is discussed.
There is no question about Pres
ident Tafts increasing popularity. 1t
has increased in healthy way
that counts. You may recall that
Senator Nixon and myself, both
good republicans, stood right with
the president on the, reciprocity
question.
Well, we will continue loyal to
him and consider ourselves blessed.
l. get reports from every remote
section of the state, and please bear
in mind that there are 1OG<700
square miles in Nevada, and each
week the reports indicate healthy
increase of interest in what Presi-
dent Taft is doing for the country.
We never had any fear but what
he would do we'll, but there seems
a desire among Nevada citizens to
do some extra talking about it, Con-
slider, too, that the population of
Nevada is made up Of citizens from
sihly 70 other state of the bound
less empire west of Denver has
such completely of population as
regard the many states the citizens
come from, and they will retain
their interest in the politics of their
old homes.
I'VE are not SO awfully hidden
away from the world and we know
what is doing and what we should
go in campaign years. We wih
elect six delegates to the national
convention no doubt, but we will
probably have a preliminary pri-
mary. Our state ticket will not be
large next year, only a supreme
Judge and representative in addition
to presidential electors, but we will
see that the republican part of the
campaign avais for the righteous,
never fear"
