that he makes net profit Of from

There is no reason why the men
who grow fruit and vegetables
should not make equally as big profit,
provided they possess the faculty for
organization and the patience and
pride necessary to put up their pro-
ducts in a style that will most readily
attract the eyes of their customers.

careful Sorting and packing his pro-

The seed should be sown as early in
the spring as the soil can be brought
into the best possible condition. The
hand drills which SOW one row at a
time are extensively used but larger
growers use a gang of drills which
seed five or seven rows at once.
Where hand cultivation is to be
practiced the usual distance between
rows Is IL to IA inches. For grow
ing the standard market onion In
rows IA inches apart, about four and
one-half pounds of seed will be re-
quired per acre. Thinning should be
done at the first wedding to a uniform
stand OF eight to ten plants to the
foot. 1t is always we'll, however, to
allow for considerable loss OF plants,
and unless the plants are so thick as
to actually crowd, the thinning will
not be necessary.
The cultural requirements OF the
onion are frequent shallow strings
Of the soil and freedom from weeds
AS soon as the plants are up and the
rows can be followed, the cultivator
should be started TO loosen the soil,
which is always more or less com.
pacted during seeding. There are
many wheel hoes and hand weeders
on the market, which greatly assist
in the tedious wedding and thinning
of onions.-Farmers' Bulletin 354,

A COMMUNICATION.

Editor Opinion,
Dear Sir.-In last weeks New
bury column there appeared this
news C?) as to Thanksgiving Day
"The telephone offices will be OPP
en- until 10 am. and closed until
6 pm"
1t seems that the usually alert
correspondent was so exercised
over "Hartwel's deer, by gorra'
and Temples black bear speed"
that when it came to plain every
day telephone matters he was cat
the crucial moment" a little off, as
to his regular privileges. The
Newbury New England telephone
office is open Barring thunder
days to the year. 1t is what some
call "a sleeping office" That is,
at night the operators put on the
"buzzer" and 60 to bed as usual
to stay there until that same
"buzzer' bu zes,-which it does
when anyone calls central or New
bury and also when anyone of the
score and more of local phones is
for any purpose rang. People are
considerate. Therefore, the "buz-
ger" does not do very much "buz-
zingn between nine at night and
six in the morning.
Never mind, Jim, even old HON.
er is said to have nodded at least
once, so we will excuse you this
time, If you will not poke fun at
"the boys" again-ie., until next
time you have a chance.
