ONION CROP A FAILURE
Thrift Playing Havoc With Fields i'm
County Says Bordner.

That the onion crop in St. Joseph
county is practically a failure this year
because of the wet weather. was the
statement made last night by John 5.
BOrdner county agent A great per
cent of the crops failure is due TO a
small germ called thrift, which is well
known to the farmers of the county.
The damp weather rs been ideal for
this germ and it has multiplied by
millions during the last few weeks
Mildew is also playing a strong part
In the suffering OF the crop and many
fields west of the city and in Liberty
township are reported beyond hope.
Preventative measures will be taken
early next spring, according to Agent
BOrdner, when each onion grower will
be asked to use nicotine sulphate and
bordeaux mixture
Friday was the first day for the past
three weeks that pleased the wheat
growers in this section. The wind and
sunshine dried out the shocks cOnsid-
erably and if the weather continues as
it was Friday threshing will begin this
afternoon, according to Bordner.
