Onion Culture

The essential requirements OF soil
upon which to grow onions profitably
are high state of fertility, good me-
chanical conditions in order that the
crop may be easily worked, sufficient
drainage, and freedom from weeds. II
the soil has the proper mechanical
properties, that Is, il 1t contains suf-
worked, Is retentive Of moisture and
fertilizers, and Is capable Of drain
age--all other requirements can be
met. The three types OF soil being
most extensively planted to onions In
this country are alluvial loans, sandy
loans and muck and peat soils. Clay
soils, which bake and run together
after rains, are injurious TO the seed
lings and do not permit proper early
cultivation. Well drained sandy loans
are especially adapted to onions, but
require heavy applications Of fertiliz-
ers, lime, and the growth OF legumi-
nous crops to keep them in good con-
dillon. Muck soils are among the
best for onions when fertilized with
manure and potash, and made free
from weeds.
The onion belongs to that class of
crops which gives best results under
very intensive culture and the great
est yields are secured when a mod
crate acreage is planted and the work
conducted in a most thorough man.
ner. AS general rule onions should
follow some crop that has been kept
under the hoe and free from weeds
the previous season. Corn, beans
and potatoes are suitable crops with
which TO precede onions.
Onions should not be planted on the
same piece Of land year after year,
and some system of crop rotation
should be maintained. Care should be
taken, however, to use crops in the
rotation that will not be exhaustive of
the high fertility necessary in the
onion land. During the years when
the land Is not devoted 10 onions it
can be planted TO some truck crop
that will give return that viii JUS
tify the application Of large quanti-
ties of fertilizers or better, to ID le-
guminous crop to he turned under as
green manure. Continuous cropping
with onions will cause the land TO be-
come infested with both disease and
insect enemies, that will sooner or
later injure the crop to such an ex.
tent as to render it improbable.
The methods of preparing tho soil
will depend somewhat upon its char
acter, hut tillage must be continued
until the soil Is smooth and mellow
to the depth of four or five inches. Il

well mixed with the soil
There is perhaps no fertilizer SO
we'll adapted to the production of on
ions as well-coiAposted stable manure,
and it should be spread on the land sew
eral months before planting to on
ions. A fertilizer adapted to the
growing of onions should contain four
to five per cent. OF nitrogen, five to
seven per cent. OF phosphoric acid,
and eight to ten per cent. OF potash
A fertilizer of this character will cost
S38 to $40 ton, and can be profltably
applied at the rate OF 1000 pounds to
the acre on most soils.
