COLOR HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE
No Foundation for Belief That Dark
Sheiled Eggs Are Richer in Food
Value, Say Experts.

There is no foundation for the claim
that the color of eggs affects their
food value. The idea probably origi-
mated in the fact that some markets
prefer brown-shelled eggs. The Eng
lish market demands brown-shelled
eggs, and it has been the practice of
French shippers to dip white-shelled
eggs In a coffee solution in order to
get the correct tint.
The United States department of
agriculture issued a bulletin to prove
that there is no constant relation be-
tween the color of the egg, although
the belief was found prevalent in some
localities that dark-shelled eggs we're
richer.
The California and Michigan expert
ment stations have also investigated
the matter and could find no differ
ences in the physical properties and
chemical composition between brown.
shelled and white-shelled eggs.
The color of the shell has, however
an effect upon the market value, the
brown-shelled eggs bringing the high
er price, for instance, IN the Boston
market and white-shelled eggs in the
New York market.

ONIONS LIKE COOL WEATHER
Plant Will Stand Much Heat After
Making Good Start-WiIl Not Keep
Unless Properly Ripened.

Onions grow best in relatively cool
weather and require an abundance Of
moisture during the early stages OF
growth. However, they will stand con-
siderable heat after they have made
a good start, and ripen better if the
weather is relatively dry at the time
they mature.
This makes them an important crop
in central and northern latitudes,
where the weather of spring is cool
and moist, and a dry period normally
occurs in August or In early Septem-
ber However, the season must be
sufficiently long for the onions to ma
ture before the autumn rains set in,
or they are likely never to ripen prop
erly
Unless properly ripened, onions will
not keep. For northern localities II
Is sometimes necessary to use only
the earlier maturing varieties.
The above statements refer to the
growing of ripe onions. Green onions
reach edible size in a comparatively
| short time, and can be grown during
| the normally cool and moist weather
Of early spring in central and north

SQUASH INJURED BY B0RERS
Whole Patches of Vegetable May Be

Some years the Hubbard squash
vine is badly injured by the squash
borer. The moth lays her eggs on
the outside of the vine, and in few
days the eggs hatch into small grubs.
These Immediately bore their way

For while the vines grow well;

bOrers in few days.
In 1914 one farmer made tests OF

paintings we're begun in April and
continued into May. Sweet corn was
used as companion crop, with the
early paintings to furnish shade for
the squash vines, but every vine ex-
