HOME GARDEN HINTS
Onions in the Home
Garden.

Onions. like potatoes. are staple
crop that is grown commercially on a
very extensive scale. The home gar
dener. however. may like to have a
few early homegrown onions for his
table. or, if space permits. he may
wish to grow enough of later varieties
to last his family through the winter.
The onion will thrive under a wide
range of climatic and soil conditions,
but a rich sandy loan containing plenty
of humus is best suited to it. AS the
crop requires shallow cultivation, and
it may be necessary to resort to hand
work in order to keep it free from
weeds. it is very desirable that the land
should be in such condition that it
is easily worked. AS a general rule
it is well to have the crop follow some
other one that has been kept under
the hoe and free from weeds the pre-
viouS season.

Seed Sown Early in North.

In the north seed is sown as early in
the spring the soil can be brought
to the proper condition. In the south
onion sets are frequently put out in
the autumn and carried through the
winter with the protection of a little
hay or straw. There are three methods
of propagating onions-the first. by
sowing the seed in rows where the crop
is to grow; second, by sowing the seed
in specially prepared beds and trans
ground; and third. by planting sets
which have been kept through the win
ter. The first method is used by large
commercial growers on account of the
amount of labor involved in the others.
ON small areas. however. it may be pre-
ferable to plant sets.
Under normal conditions these may
usually be obtained at planting time
for about $3.50 a bushel, eight or nine
bushels being required to plant an
acre. Onions planted from sets will
rpen earlier than those from seed
sown in the fields. When the trans
planting method is used the seed is
sown in greenhouses. hotbeds. cold
frames, or specially prepared beds at
the rate of 81 to pounds for each
acre to be planted. The seedlings are
transplanted when they are somewhat
smaller than a lead pencil and rather
stocky. The root end of the Seeding
is pushed into the soil with one finger
and the soil is then tlrmed about the
plant.

In Drills, IL to IA Inches Apart.

The seed is sown thckly in drills
about twelve to fourteen inches apart
After the plants become established
they are thinned to two or three inches
apart. The maturity of the bulbs may
be hastened by preventing the contin-
ued growth of the tops. This is some
times accomplished by rolling an empty
barrel over the rows and breaking down
the tops. After these are practically
dead the onion bulbs may be pulled I'D
by hand from the soil and spread in
dry, well ventilated place to cure
Thereafter they may be stored in crates
or bags for winter use. In the north
the crop ripens and is harvested during
the latter part of the summer and early
autumn. In the southern states, where
the crop is grown during the winter
the harvesting and marketing period
takes place during the spring months
There are several kinds of onions
that may remain in the soil over win
ter. The multipler, or potato onion
in the autumn and will produce excel
of this type contains a number of dis
tinct hearts and, if planted, will pro-
duce number of small onions. On the
other hand a small onion contains but
one heart and will produce large
onion. A few of the large ones NAV
be planted each year to produce sets
for the following years planting

CARLSTRoM HAD PROVED
REMARKABLE FLYER
IBy Associated Pre,sl

tBy Associated Prcss.)
WASHINGTON, May 9.-ln the last
eighteen months Carlstrom was in the
air, according to his own estimates
more than 5000 hours, Alan II. Hawlcy,
president OF the Aero Club said here
to-day, in commenting on Carlstrom' y
experience and skill when told of his
death. He had "a great air sense was
born cross-country flyer, and seemed
to know by remarkable instinct de-
tails of direction said Mr.. Hawley,
who flew with Carlstrom last July from
New York to Washington.
American records held by Carlstrom
included that of Il.I80 feet altitude for
aviator with two passengers, and the
cross-country distance for aviator and
one passenger at 2S3 miles. He re-
ceiyed the Aero Clubs medal OF merit
both for this year and last, and was
winner of the Curtiss marine flying
trophy for 1915. He also received a
gold watch from the club for his
Chicago-New York flight.
AS an instructe~. it was stated at the
club by several who knew him or had
learned to lS under him. he had the
faculty Of letting the novice correct his
own mistakes. instead of taking the
control from them, yet never allowed
them to go near the danger point, so
that they acquired confidence early and
learned to ny in half the time necessary
under a less skillful teacher.
