Onions have broken into the news
One little spcck Of them cost Lex
Wise Of Missouri 600 hard-earned
dollars.
An onion is admirable in its
proper encourage; in potato salad or
sliced with cucumbers, minced in
Hamburger, or even "smeared on a
piece Of bread" where the result is
held a dainty for the gods by the
hungry populace of Poland.
Smeared on bread, it may be all
right, but not so when worked into

and sifted into the sack, remarks the
New Orleans Picayune.
Mr.. Wise is a wheat grower. and
his wheat field was invaded by a flock
of wild onions. Pretty things they
are, sending up long, lilylike stems
with flowers as fragrant as the hon
eysuckle, and giving no outward evil
dence Of their internal surprises.
Moved with the wheat, dried and
run through the threshing machine,
sacked or shipped in bulk to the ele-
vator, transported to the mill, and
finally ground into -four, the little
onion friend still clings to the wheat
grain. Out comes the -four, white
as the driven or the undriven snow,
but knead it, bake it, butter it, strip
it, cheese it and taste it, and there
is the flavor still of the little onion
friend.
So Mr.. Wise sent men and women
to track the subtle legume to its lair,

SOME FARMERS ROB LAND.

Glorious American Privilege = Time
to Pause and Consider.

There are many and various kinds OF
robbers loose today in this land OF
plenty, but perhaps the two most I'M
popular OF them are the soil robber and
the community robber farmer
who rObs his land of its producing
strength and the coiis,lmer who robs
his community OF its dollars.
The high grade. Succrssful farmer is
the one who increases rnther than d.
m,nishes the fertility Of his land. Ev.
cry year he changes his crop with that
o.le object In view. He subscribes for
and reads very carefully the. agricul-
tural reports. paying particular atten-
ton to the reports on experiments made
by advanced and progressive farmers.
Why he does this Is plain. He knows
very we'll that Ii would be useless to
plant good seed in vermont soil It's
his wish and intention To make a profit
on his investment in St'e,l aud labor as
could not be accomplished IL the soil
were not fruitful.
Bleeding Home Communities.
Today there are hundreds Of thou
sands of American citizens who are
bleeding their home communities by
taking out of the channels Of local
trade the money needed To- transact
business ana sending il TO dealers who
do not and who cannot by any posi-
bile means return ii to do its proper
and necessary work in local business

HORTICULTURE,

The service rendered by this branch
OF the extension division has been the
least satisfactory during the biennium
OF any branch OF the work. The leave
Of absence granted the field horticult
urist interfered with the continuity of
the work, and his resignation, which
took effect Sept. l, 1916. further inter-
fered with the service. With the ad-
vent of new and active field horti-
culturist, whose attitude and effort are
most pleasing. there Is every evidence
that this branch Of extension will be
materially strengthened.
The major work of the field horti-
culturist has been that of potato seed
production. Thirty-one public potato
seed selection and treatment demon
strations have been held. attended by
Sls potato growers. One hundred and
ten growers, representing II counties,
have planted and cared for seed plots
