IOWA ONIONS RIVAL TEXAS

Iowa need not take back scat
when it comes to onion growing"
says Prof. A. T. Erwin of the horti-
cultural department Of Iowa State
college.

Schutter of Scott county in which he
says he harvested more than 1,1OO
bushels of fine onions from one acre
and nearly 10000 bushels from his
whole patch of thirteen acres.

ton that these can be cultivated sue.
cessfully only in Texas or California
or regions like that They are as
choice. as any Bcrmudas grown and
come from the large market garden
Of William Schulz, where six acres
were grown this year"
There are several sections of the
state where onions can be grown as
successfully as anywhere. The col
lege has reports of this years crop
from a good many growers and there
are a number in the state who this
year harvested around 1000 bushels
an acre. Albert Schutter says in his
letter that his crop yielded 12,257
bushels, or 943 bushels per acre. He
harvested good many while green
because of prices at the time, or ne
would have had at least 1000 bushels
an acre. For his crop he received an
average price of SO cents bushel, or
$35s.2s an acre, and $4,657.66 for the
entire crop. 1t costs from $4,000 to
$4,000 an acre to grow onions and
market them. Charging in this case
the highest cost, Mr.. Schutter Melted
4 profit of $15S.2s an acre, or $4,000
for his crop. His cost was probably
mucl. less than $3.50 an acre.
I'VE people of Iowa don't know the
extent Of our agricultural resources,
and especially along the line Of gar
dening and orcharding," says Mr.
Erwin.

Many medical men who heard him
were astounded, and they questioned
the eminent British authority. The

ODD SUIT AGAINST DOCTOR
Surgeon Must Pay for Accident to
Patient During op-
GRAFTON.

Paris.-A curious action against Q
doctor considered Of great importance
from the standpoint of the RESPONSE
bility Of surgeons has just been fought
out in the Paris law courts.
A few weeks ago . doctor was call
ed upon to perform an operation for
appendicitis on a hospital patient. The
latter's body, in accordance with the
general rule in euch cases was previ-
ously rubbed over with alcohol. but
owing to the peculiar conformation Of
the mans side, some liquid remained
In small hollow instead Of being
wiped OF again.
Before using the scalpel the director
decided to burn away . small outer
turnover, which might have infected
the wound, but in doing this he set
fire to the spirit, causing the patient
severe injuries. Medical experts, who
investigated the affair for the hospital
authorities. reported that the burns
were due to the patients abnormal
shape. were, SO far as the doctor was
concerned. pure accident.
On the case being tried before the
Paris courts. however, the latter de-
cided that for the patients body to be
Of slightly different shape from normal
does not relieve the surgeon from any
Of his responsibilities, since he has
every opportunity Of observing what
these differences are. and therefore
awarded the patient $4,000 damages.
