Ii was after the murder was committed
that Schepps played his most important
part in the Rosenthal affair That was as
a go-between for Lieut. Becker and the
panic-stricken Rose, who was hiding in an
uptown apartment house. Schepps said
he made several visits to Becker to con-
suit him as to what course Rose should
remain in hiding. but Rose was thor
olghly frightened. and wanted to give
himself up.
Schepps counsel, Bernard Sander, de-
clared that while his client was in the
grand jury room Schepps would make a
clean breast of everything.

There is no denying the fact that the
Nationals have shown up weak with the
stick, but Griff figures that the players
are in the midst of an early slump. and
that stronger hitting is bound to come.
Although the writer during his talk

able to obtain the batting order for the
opening game. for the reason that Grin
was not sure himself. the chances are
that Walter Johnson will pitch. John
Henry slated behind the bat. Jack Flynn
OH first, knight on second, Foster on

field was settled long ago. Moeller will
be in left, Milan in center, and Schaefer

Grin may possibly start the season
with Bill Cunningham on second, as
knight is hardly in the best shape, and
then again Ray Morgan may possibly
hold down third base. but this seems
unlikely.

an old pasture rich land which was
broken last spring, and raised a crop
of corn. We are planning to use part
of this for onions. Can you give us
this Information or refer us to some
one who can?"
Onion growing is a most intensive
type of farming. We would not adj
wise the ordinary farmer to go into
1t on large scale until he has had a
year or two of experience with the
crop. There is nothing mysterious or
technical in growing the onion crop.
But it must be understood that the
onion crop requires the closest at
tention and frequent cultivation and
hand hoeings. The greatest item OF
expense is keeping the gruond free
from weeds. To avoid the weeds
some growers even go so far as to
break up sod ground the year be-
fore planting in onions. and the first
year grow nothing on it. but merely
cultivate 1t continuously, SO as to
sprout all weed seeds and then de-
stroy them. The expense of growing
an acre of onions runs from $40 to
500, depending on the weediness of
the land. the cost of labor, and wheth-
er the rows are put twelve or four
teen inches apart and given hand cul-
tivations, or whether they are put
three feet apart and given horse cul-
tivation ON clean land onions given
horse cultivation may be produced
for $40 an acre or even less. A good
acre of onions will yield from 100 to
500 bushels one hundred and fifty
bushels to the acre is not far wrong
when the rows are placed three feet
apart, When the rows are twelve or
fourteen inches apart 500 bushels per
acre comes nearer right The gross
returns when horse cultivation is CIV
EN- are said to average about $50 per
acre, while when the rows are put
close together the gross returns will
average $500 or even higher. The
onion crop is profitable one. but II
means the most intensive cultivation
We will not go into the details OF
onion cultivation at this time, but
suggest that all of our readers who
are interested In the crop send to the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. at Washington, d. c., for Farm
|ers Bulletin No. S54, on onion Gull
ture. This gives an excellent idea OF
the methods used in growing and mar
vesting the onion crop. Circular No
10 of the Indiana experiment station
at Lafayette, is also good
We would expect our correspond
ent's rich pasture land, which was put
III corn last Year, to make excellent
onion soil. Any rich corn belt land
which is fairly free from weeds and
which is prepared into first-cass
seed bed, Should grow good onions II
lwill probably grow better onions II
well rotted manure is applied the fall

Comnens for Cows

"Cowpea hay has about the same
