moist and soft will take out the en-
tire clump by the roots. These
should be carried off where they
can give no further trouble. 1t is
then a good plan to fill the hole
With soil and sprinkle a little grass
seed on the surface. Sheep eat the
tops of the onion, and grazing for a
few years is reported as an efficient
remedy for the pest. Sheep appar-
emily eat the onion most during the
winter and early spring, when there
is little other green vegetation. or
in poor pastures where there is little
to eat but the onion. On the better
pastures, it may be necessary to
salt the onions occasionally to give
the sheep taste for them sufficient
to overcome their natural dislike.
MEASURES THAT HELP.
As the aerial bulblets are practi
cslIy the only means by which the
onion pest is distributed from field
to field and farm to farm, it is high
ly important to prevent their forma-
tor. Cutting the tops of the onion
plants before they are ripe will pre-
vent the formation of these bulblet.
Late blowing for small grains, 1t
has been found that if blowing is de-
layed until a late date in the fall and
the land is planted to small grain.
only few onion plants will ripen
their aerial bulblets by harvest time
the following summer. As the plow-
ing should be done at such a late
date as to prevent the best develop
ment of fall.sown grains, it is pre-
ferable to plant spring grains. |
Where the sowing Of fall grain is
it should be done with |
full knowledge that the late plant.
ing will probably reduce the yield.
fal.grain crop after late
blowing has the least harmful effect
On yield in the southern part of the
onion belt, where wheat may be
planted as late as November or De-
,ember. Every effort should be
n de to keep seed free from bulblets.
This can be accomplished by thor
ugh drying before cleaning, but
he best way is to get seed from an
outside source where no onion exists.
n to produce seed grain on a sepa-
ate patch absolutely free from the
,nion.
Dairymen are advised that by keep
x cows away from the onion for four
hours before milking, they can pro-
luce milk with practically no garlic
lavor. The Dairy Division of the
Department also has devised meth
ID of blowing warm air through milk
o eradicate the garlic flavor, and
will be glad to give details to any
lairyman who applies.

Church, State and Poor.

A book on "The Church, the Stat,
and the Poor" has been written by an
English vicar. The book is compre
hensive, tracing the subject Of preref-
ormation days. The author regrets
that during the growth OF collectivism.
under which he Classics what is
called Christian socialism," the
church has trusted too much to the
state to better the conditions among
the poor. Now there is a revival Of
interest in the welfare of the poor on
the part Of the church. The writer's
contention is that firm belief in the
Christian creed is the only inspiration
and guide to any effort to solve the
social problem"

 The Prairie, Chester and San Francisco opened with their five and six-inch guns and shattered the walls.
 The bluejackets formed again and advanced against the fire, which had diminished, By 10 o'clock there was only desultory firing from the in- shore side of the tower Battalions of blueiackets had made their way along the water front to the south ern end of the town and cleared sev- eral streets but the shipping from houses continued at intervals.
 The scout cruiser pounded build iGgs on the outskirts with six-inch shells, firing over the heads of the men ashore and showing almost per feet marksmanship.
 The general movement from all the positions taken yesterday began in the direction of the main plaza. Marines under Lieut. Col. Wendell c. Neville moved to the southward along parallel streets toward the center, while marines commanded by Lieut.. Commander Buchanan of the Florida and Lieut.. Commander Ar thur B. Keating of the Arkansas were ordered from their positions east of the center towards the plaza.
 The two forces swung forward vita rush for a distance of three blocks. The machine gun and rifle fire was supplemented by shell fire from the smaller guns of the Prairie and Chester The ships gun SUD- ported the movement of clearing the roofs to the south and east, occa- sionally dropping a shell few hun dred yards in advance.
 Buchanan's men, under direct com mand of Lieutenant Guy W. o. Cas- tie, moved forward to a position one block directly East of the plaza. 9th CT detachemnts occupied positions to the north and West Both mar ines and bluejackets dragged light field pieces but there was little work for them.
 There was no organized resistance but from beginning of the advance a smart fire came from the defend. CTS on house tops, which invariably drew merciless fire from the advan- cing parties. The machine guns sounded their tap, tap" in all quar- ters and American sharp shooters posted at street corners and other points of vantage picked off at will any man who appeared to them act ing suspiciously.
