to the bulb. The tops should be
allowed to die down naturally.
They need not be broken down by
any special means. The onions
make no more growth after the
tops are broken down-this mere
ly hastens the time of ripening at
a sacrifice of the size of the bulb.
In many cases it rs the cause of
poorly cured onions as the tops
are often broken down while the
necks are still too thick and green
to ripen down properly.
When pulling the onions throw
five to eight rows into one wind
row. Stir the onions frequently
with wooden rake SO as to give
them all a uniform curing and
prevent them from sending roots
into the soil. This is most apt to
happen after a rain. White onions
are easily discolored by this
method of curing. 10 prevent this
cure under cover, which is done
by either placing the onions in
an open Sned or IN We'll Nentllat-
ed crates that are stacked where
the ventilation is good. This pro-
cedure is not necessary unless the
white varieties are being grown
for market. Six to ten days after
pulling the onions will have cured
sufficiently to be removed from
the field but they are not yet
ready for permanent storage. Al
this time they can be placed in
crates or we'll ventilated shed.
Just before removing the onions
from the field, pull off the tops
by hand or cut off with the shears
When there is danger of freez-
ing weather the onions should be
moved to dry and we'll ventilat-
ed place with temperature of
80 to 40 degrees. Onions intended
for storage should be handled so
as to avoid bruising and none but
the best should be stored.

they will be at once sent to the

Baca county people are max
ing great preparations for the
fair to be held at Springfield
next month. The displays of
farm products and stock will be
on large scale and the am1se-
ment program promises to be
excellent. Lamar business men
should organize at once and
make preparations to attend the
Baca county fair in force on at
least one day. 1t will be time
and effort well spent. There
should be fully one hundred au-
toes in line when the journey to
Baca county is made. Sparks.

If the district normal Is essen
tial for the one to half a dozen
Baca county teachers who go
there, as the Sentinel man con-
tends, they can still go there af-
ter Baca county has been given
a legal normal; or they can go
to the Greely summer school, or
the Deliver University summer
school. No doubt it would prof
it them to do so, but that's no
reason why the normal funds of
Baca county should be turned
over to some of those schools,
and the teachers of the county
be compelled to dig up for their
own normal. Charity is a good
thing, but good place for il
to begin is at home. Let other
schools root, hog. or die for
themselves. What Baca wants IS
Q legal normal.

Vol. xxx.

Vol. xxx.
Twenty-eight years ago the
Springfield Herald opened its
eyes and looked around over the
great big world, it being one Of
about a dozen that were
hatched out in what is now Baca
county during that year and the
year following.
The papers that were in the
county in those old days, as re-
membered by the editor. we're:
! Western World at Boston, by
Yours truly" the Banner at the
same place; Times at Plymouth;
Chico and the Republican at
Minneapolis; Democrat and Re-
publican at Villas; the Herald and
the Advertiser at Springfield;
Maveric at Brookfield; Current
at Carrizo; and later on the Mi
ner was published at Carrizo
Springs, thus making an even
dozen.
Of this Coterie of papers the
Herald is the only one that did
not perish from the earth. All
the others turned up their little
toes to the daisies when the sew
en- years of famine was in the
land, and their "tooters" went
elsewhere in the land on the
hunt for more game.
The Springfield Advertiser was
early merged with the Herald.
Later the Carrizo Miner, after a
somewhat stormy career, found
shelter in the Herald office, and
very lately the Stonington Jour-
nal outfit found the "surcease
from sorrow" in the Herald office
that it's patent insides" were
! craving.
The Herald has had all kinds
of ink splashers on its staff since
it opened its eyes on the big
world twenty-eignt years ago.
Commencing at its Kindergarten
Stage and coming this way. we
find the following busts noun
ted in it's present hall of fame:
Arthur ]. Henbest, Geo. E.
Hosmer. Jas. Church, Love and
Byrnes, J.. A. Wikoff, Frank
Hays, S. E. Speckmann, E. M.
Whitaker. f. Emerson, "Yours
truly"
For goodly number of years
the Herald was the only paper
published in the county practi-
cally from about 1890 to about
1910, when the Sentinel was
launched. During this time we
believe the Carrizo Miner was
published two or three years.
The Great County Builder greets
it's readers as it crosses the thres-
hold into its twenty-ninth year
with the hope for a greater
Springfield, a greater Baca coun-
ty. and the kind of crops and bus
mess prosperity that will put all
the good reop'e of the county on
Easy street.
Thanking you for past favors
and your many words of praise
and cheer, the Herald starts in
to its new year and on towards
its goal of 1000 Subscribers
which we hope to reach be-
fore the close of it's present new
wear
