with elongated bodies and four
slender wings. They are sucking
insects. They fasten themselves to
the green tops, extract the juice
and leave the plant to wither up
and dry. In the dry weather they
hatch by the millions, and in the
early evening they swarm to the
fields, myriads Of them, so thick as
to resemble a black cloud and, like
the locust plague Of Pharaoh,s
reign, light on the growing crop.
Up to the present year the grower
did not know how to fight them.
Last year the Scott County Farm
Improvement league was formed.
This organization cmp;oyed an agri-
cultural college graduate, G. r.
Bliss. and told him TO 60 out and
help everybody earning living
from the soil. He suggested that
spray Of Kerosene emulsion or
nicotinc-whale FoiI mixture be used,
forced down into the crevices of the
leaves. The growers tried out the
spray and foHHd that it killed the
little pests. 1t has been estimated
that systematic use Of this spray
ing mixture would make differ
ence of 200 bushels TO the acre.
The thriPs do not bother in wet
weather. The last summer. with
its continued hot weather. with no
rain all through July. the onion 5
big maturity mouth. was ideal for
the pests. Not all of the farmers
could be persuaded to spray their
fields. for converts IN agricultural
science never come fast. and conse-
quentIy the Weld was not what it
will be in future dry seasons.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS, THE
REMEDY FOR THE CROPS PAR.
TIcuLAR PLAGUE HAS BEEN DIS
COVERED. AND MANY HUNDREDS
OF BUSHELS WERE ADDED TO
THE TOTAL CROP.
The thirty-one hot DAYS in July
cut the crop down fully one-third.
1t has not been uncommon in for
mer years for the crop to run over
1000 bushels an acre on the best
fields. This year the average was
close to 800 bushels. But last sea-
son. the best growing year that the
onion men have ever had. the price
averaged from SO to 40 cents. This
year the Pleasant Valley people are
getting from So to 90 cents bushel
and are making as much money as
they did on the bumper crop of
1912. -.
This years onion king is W. w.
Myers, who has the largest number
of acres planted of any Of the onion
raisers. He has sixteen acres in
the tubers. the largest farm at
"The Valley" and the crop ran $50
bushels. This would bring him &c.
$50 at the present market price,
and. deducting 800 per acre as the
cost Of raising and marketing, there
is left a profit Of $3.50. or $3.50
per acre. That shows pretty well
that wealth is no little part of the
profits TO BE derived from the onion
culture. Many farmers put the cost
per acre below 800, Frank Schut-
ter, another veteran grower, plac-
ing his at so an acre.
Last year Mr.. Schutter raised 943
bushels to the acre, receiving IS
cents, or $352.2S an acre, for his
crop and $4,G5f.66 for the entire
crop. Henry Roed, on a one acre
tract planted to sets. harvested 500
bushels an acre and Leroy Scbutter,

Health.
Wealth
and
Happiness
In Scott
County

III have rolled out of big glisten-
red bulbs at Pleasant Valley
Scott county, Ia, in such large
quantities that the state agricultuf-
al statistician will be compelled to
add another column to his crop re-
port and write "Onions" at the
top of it.
Health we say advisedly. Does
not the old saw. run: ...
Eat onions in the month Of May
And the rest of the year the doctors
may play.
And you can find dozens OF hale
and hearty German pioneers who
have had their Fruehstueck, Nit
tagessen and Abendessen favored
with onions for the past thirty
years and unanimously lay their
longevity at the door of the odorif-
erous tuber.
As to wealth, the onion has
drained the swampy black silt lands
along the Mississippi's banks, has
turned them into beautiful little
green fields where any weed is as
much anathema as thistle to the
ordinary farmer 1 has put price
of $1,000 on every acre that can
successfully produce the big red
globes.
And for happiness, the onion is
now the sesame in Pleasant Val
ley, aptly named, the heart of Scott
county's 800 acre or district.
The tears that the Del brings
to the eyes of the people Of that
locality are tears of JOY. They
have sold onions and built immense
big frame houses, large enough for
family reunions. They have sold
onions and added big barns and au-
tomobiles to their establishments.
Now they are selling onions and
sending their children to the State
Agricultural college at Ames, while
they go across the sea they travelled
in a sailing vessel so many years
ago to see the grossvater, nodding
away in some sleepy little village
of Schleswig-Ho =
=
This is not. pleasant sounding fc-
ton, but reality, brought about by
the fact that the rich river bottom
lands Of Scott county are adapted to
the raising of'onions. These fields
are tended with all of the German
farmers painstaking cares You
can't raise both weeds and onions
in the same field. Consequently the
onion raiser arms himself with a
hoe, arms all of his family with a
like utensil and goes forth to seek
the impudent oocklebur, button
weed, foxtail, smart weed, pig weed
and joint grass.
so THOROUGHLY DOES THE
ONION FARMER AND HIS FAMILY
DO THIS JOB THAT ONE CAN SEE
A FIELD OF TEN ACRES WITHOUT

THE HIGHLY CULTIVATED

Hand in hand with this intensive
cultivation goes scientific agricul-
ture and machinery. Science works
