Winter Storage of Onions.

Where regular storage of onions is
not obtainable or possible, a cheap
and efficient way is as follows:
Select a dry, somewhat elevated
place, not necessarily on a ridge or
a hill. On this place set a box or
frame of desired dimensions for the
amount OF onions to be stored. The
depth of the box should not be over
sixteen or eighteen inches. Pieces OF
two by four or four by four should
be placed under the box so that the
box will not come in contact with the
moist soil. The floor of the box
should be reasonably tight. After the
onions have been thoroughly cured
and topped, they should be placed in
the box and the boadrs placed on top.
The cover should be water tight.
Before cold weather sets in keep the
cover raised TO permit ventilation.
No other protection is given the
onions but they are permitted 10
freeze solidly and when in this state
the box should be covered with dry
straw or corn stalks or any material
that would prevent the onions from
thawing out or alternate freezing and
thawing. In the spring of the year,
or when ready to be sold. the covering
should be removed gradually and the
onions permitted to thaw out without
coming into contact with the sun
light. During the winter or while in
the frozen state they may be taken
out and gradually thawed out in a
cool room.
In the frozen state the onions will
keep perfectly and when thawed out
will remain solid for a considerable
length Of time.
Care must be taken that the onions
are dry when placed In the storage
and that they are kept frozen through.
out the winter. The quality Of the
onions is not impaired by one frees-

iment Station. Fort Collins, Colo.

Result of Change by Farmers.

This frequency of moving from

pancy. very likely, forms one of the
chief causes of the decline of rural
prosperity. or is hindrance to
greater progress. Frequency of re
moval of farmers results in general
shiftlessness; the roads and bridges
are generally in a poor condition be-
cause the farmers, moving at frequent
periods. are not particularly interest
ed In their upkeep. Farm buildings
of such farms are not usually kept in
good repair. as the farmer who is
about to move will leave the repairs
for the next tenant to make. The
same reasons will apply for lack of
interest by the unstable" farmer in

.rf BY Reason of Strength"

Thomas NJ. Patterson, the Demo
cratic candidate for governor of Colo
RADIO. is man who nearly five years
ago passed the three score and ten
years set by the Psalmist as the span
of life. He will be 10 years of age
the day after election.
Several years ago, Mr.. Patterson
retired from the practice of law and
about a year ago from the editorship
of his papers on account of his ad-
vanced age. He had reached that
stage in life when he no doubt felt
his inability to carry the burden OF
active life. Yet he now offers himself
as the chief executive of a young and
growing state, confronted by many
serious problems sufficient to tax the
ability and energy of a man in the
prime of his strength.
Regardless of Mr.. Pattersons past
record, would it be wise for Colorado
at the present time to elect to this
high office a man who has nothing to
offer but the failing energies of age
for the duties in hand? Is there any
business man or set of business men
in the country who would give the
management of their affairs into the
hands of man approaching the age
of dotage Colo. Springs Telegraph.

How will We Square the Circle?

How viii We Square the Circle?
The one great American problem
more pressing than any other since
the outbreak of the civil war is that
which appertains to the present sys-
tenn of marketing our farm crops and
getting so little for them. We are
singularly blessed at this time with
our barns filled with plenty and our
presses bursting with wine as the
Shepherd King put it but these glor-
ious things help US not at all when
we go to market. We seem to have
been building up a system that has
finally turned around and squeezed
US to death in its fatal coils. All
those shipping associations which we
have been organizing for the benefit
of our selling have been of some bene-
fit but their influence does not reach
far enough to overcome the most men
acing part of the difficulties.
The principal trouble seems to have
been that the attempts to organize
pdoduee growers have lacked business
direction. Many times these move
ments have been mere side issues Of
political vagaries, as in the days OF
populism; sometimes they have been
semi-political, as was the case with
the old grange and farmers alliance
movements and sometimes they have
failed simply because the best farm
ers lacked confidence or were indiff sr-
ent and refused to lend their help
when it was most needed. Any one
of these causes was enough to invite
such failure as fell upon the Society
of Equity with its dreams of dollar
wheat. 1t does not follow however
that the fundamental idea itself was
unsound.
Many men of many minds are now
at work on the problem of eliminating
the superfluous middlemen who exact
unreasonable tribute in the exchange
of commodities between the producer
and the consumer. When some tang
ible progress is made in this direo-
ton the victims of the high cost If
living may find some relief. The peo-
pie Of the cities are more than anxious
to buy direct from the farmers and
gardeners but in Denver at least this
plan was never feasible until the bars
were let down and the farmers ald
huxters were invited to set up mu-
nicipal markets, which are merely
stands in the open streets where folks
may come at stated hours and buy
their fresh truck These establish
ments however are merely nyspeck
on the great eNpanse of our CONNER
cial activities and do not go very far
towards solving the ever growing
problem with which We are all beset-
The sad part as we turn our eyes
countryward is seen in the large
amount of fruit and vegetables allow
ed to go to waste. In our apple pro
ducing neighborhoods in particular it
is common to see the ground strewn
with fruit that has considerable value.
1t seems pitiful to see apples decaying
under the trees while only few miles
away there are poor people who can
afford no fruit TO brighten up their
meager tables. We can preach until
the COWS come home but the stream
has set in so hard against us that it
will be no easy job to turn the tide
and bring order out of chaos. The
agricultural departments bureau of
markets with all the money at its com
mand is a sickening example of what
can not be done in these overwhelm-
ing matters.-Field and Farm.

Colorado Farmers Move Frequently

In compiling data for the last Fed

every farmer in Colorado this ques-
ton: How long have you lived on
the farm you now occupy?" This
question was answered by 42,243 Of
the 46.170 farm operators in this state
More than $4,000 stated that they had
occupied their farms only one year
or less; 1888 from two to four years
6,457 from five to nine years and
7,07s ten years and over. The most
restless class of people in this state
is the tenant who operates his farm
