ONION BULBS CAN BE STORED
Should Be Fully Ripe Before Pulling
and Well Dried Before
Storing.
BY r. e. lOREE.
Department of Horticulture, Michigan
Agricultural College.

East Lansing, Mich.-Onions must
be properly matured. harvested and
cured before they are ready for sue
cessful winter storage. August and
September are the harvesting months,
and crops grown from early sowings
should now show signs of maturity.
These become apparent in weakening
and shriveling of the neck above the
bulb. and yellow color Of the tops.
Bulbs to be stored should become full
ly ripe before pulling. The tops should
he dead and the outer skin of the bulbs
dry.
There are usually some sculliOns, or
those with thick necks, which still re-
main green. These do not make suit
able bulbs for storing. If they can be
matured, II will be by pulling and CIV
ing the necks an opportunity to dry
down.
AS rule, it pays to pull the entire
crop when the larger portion of the
tops have become dead. Delay In har-
vesting sometimes results in q second
growth which Injuries the bulbs for

pulling, may be entirely dried or cured
in the garden or field. IF the weather
is moist however, the bulbs when par
tally cured may be removed to well
ventilated house or shed, where they
should he kept for several weeks.
They should not be put into winter
storage until perfectly dry. The tops
should rattle and crackle when han
ding.
To not attempt TO store soft and i'm.
mature bulbs and bulbs with thick
necks. Use or sell these at once ~
cause they do not keep well. Before
storing. II is customary to remove a
part Of the top. When topping, leave
at least an inch of the stem above the
bulb. Bulbs which have been topped
too close will sprout and become

ing and store in cool. dry, well ven.

FERTILIZERS NOT STANDARD

East Lansing. Mich.-A disposition
to he "skimpy," particularly in the
amount of potash they put into their
fertilizers. has been found to he a
quite prevalent fault among manufac-
turers Of soil-improving compounds
the Michigan Agricultural college has
discovered during the course Of ex.
aminations made in the past few
weeks. The suggestion is therefore
offered by Prof. A. J. Patten of the
chemistry experiment station that
buyers take the precaution Of making
certain they are getting what they are
paying for. To assist them In this,
the college has published list Of
manufacturers, with the results Of the
analyses made Of their products. This
can he procured by writing to M. A. G.
In all, 51S samples were analysed.
OF these. 1876 or &c per cent, were
found to he below guarantee In one
or more constituents; and 90, or 17.S
per cent. were below guarantee In
potash. Potash deficiencies were
more numerous than either nitrogen
or phosphoric acid, which indicates
that because of the high cost and
comparative scarcity Of this constitu-
ent. the manufacturers are attempt
ing to hew as close to the line as
possible.
There were also 43 samples which
failed to furnish an amount of plant
food equal in value to that guaran-
teed. and In six samples the value OF
the plant food was found to be 10
per cent or more below the value
guaranteed.

WOODLOTS FURNISH FORAGE
Hogs Make Good Gains Frequently on
Acorns and Other Seeds.

East Lansing Mich.-The woodlOt

farmers forget that their hogs also
might gain something from the brow

press bulletin just issued by the Michi

countries hogs are often fattened OK.
clusively upon the nuts, seeds and
roots they pick up and dig in the
woods.
Hogs should be permitted to clean
mn the acorns. The razor-back Of the
South begins to fatten as soon MS the
acorn crop natures. but in this Sec
ton the crop is usually left for the
squirrels. The forage resources I'M
der oak trees In early autumn are
abundant.
There need be no fear Of hogs caus-
ing serious harm to the trees. They
seldom eat the foliage even Of seed
lings and their roofing up the soil
seems to better prepare 1t as a seed
bed. Enough seed Is overlooked by
the swine to give abundant reproduc
ton for another crop Of trees.
Hog foraging in oak woods has an
other advantage in that many insects
In the acOrns and other seeds are de-
voured. In foreign countries this for
aging is looked upon very favorably as
a means Of keeping down insect pests.
In this country also It should receive
more attention as means of conserv-
ing the supply Of other hog feeds.

LIVE News FROM
TWELFTH COMPANY

A new and long looked for feature of
the training of the 18th Co., which was
started the first of this week, is small
arms firing that is. firing at different
ranges and in different positions at
targets for scores with the regular
U. S. Army Springfield rife. An al
most unlimited supply of ammunition
is available for such work and from
the showing already made quite a
number of the company members will
at least qualify as "a marksman."
The second Liberty Loan campaign,
which has been launched throughout
the United States, has hit the soldiers
in the same manner that it has every
one else. Last Thursday the 18th Co.
sailed over to Fort Stevens, where the
entire Oregon Coast Artillery Regi-
ment congregated to listen to speeches
explaining the terms and benefits of
the bonds. Considerable enthusiasm
was displayed by the 1900 men in at
tendance. The men were showing the
advantage of such an investment and
were strongly urged to save their
money, not only for their own benefit
but to help the government as well.
1t was considered by most of the MEM
bers of the Hood River company that
Capt. Wilbur made one of the best
speeches at the gathering. The men
were allowed to buy the bonds on the
installment plan, paying for them in
five months by alloting a portion of
their regular army pay. In this man.
ner $4850 has been subscribed so far
for the cause, making the 18th Co.
second on the list of the entire regi-
ment.
Religious influences Rave finally been
brought into the fort in the form of
Sunday evening meetings held by
visiting military chaplain. Capt. Will
bur has strongly urged all of the men
to attend.
The company had its regular monthly
pay day on Friday, October s, and it is
expected that the pay will come regu-
lar on the same date every month.
Several of the wives of the married
men of the company are planning to
make their homes at Fort Candy this
winter. This indicates that the feeling
among the members points towards the
company remaining at their present
post during the entire winter.
The shipment of catsup sent by the
18th Co. Ladies Auxiliary will greatly
aid in preparing special appetizing
dishes for mess. With the aid of such
donations "from home" Cook Sines has
already carried out his wager that he
could increase the average weight Of
each man in the company at least five
pounds. Several of the men weigh 20
pounds more at the present time than
they did when they enlisted.

NORTHWEST EXPECTS
COMING OF TOURISTS

The following news bulletin has just
been issued by w. j. Hofmann, chair
man of the bureau of publicity and
conventions of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce.
Last winter the legislatures of Ore
gon and Washington ard the parlia-
ment of British Columbia appropriated
$l12,OO as an advertising fund to
attract tourist travel to the North
west.
The Pacific Northwest Tourist Asso-
citation is the organization for spending
the funds, and the board of directors
has just concluded meeting at Seattle
where plans were made for beginning
the big drive to attract the vacation
lists of the world to the Northwest
in 1918.
1t should be understood that the only
paid representative of the organization
is the secretary, Herbert Cuthbert. of
Seattle, who draws $500 per month.
All other officers work for nothing,
the director even paying their own
railroad fare and hotel bills when
attending the frequent meetings.
During the past summer it was
thought that the war would make it
impossible to secure tourist travel to
the Northwest. But, Notwithstanding
that influence, the advertising which
the tourist association placed in auto
mobile and newspapers east of the
Rocky Mountains had the effect of
bringing more visitors than Oregon
has ever had in any previous year.
Consequently the directors took steps
for vigorous advertising during the
coming winter and have established
connections which give the Northwest
direct representation in 35 cities of the
United States.
One hundred thousand booklets show
| ing the scenic resources of Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia are
being printed, as are booklets on fish
ing, hunting, golfng, motoring and
mountaineering. These are to be dis
tributed direct to interested people
through the agency of the "Ask Mr..
Foster" service, the largest ,and most
efficient tourist bureau of the world.
Special exhibits are to be maintained
at Atlantic City, New York and in
three tourist centers in the south.
Northwest literature will be kept
fresh in the leading hotels and railway
offices in New York, Washington. De-
troit, Chicago. Philadelphia, Buffalo,
indianapolis, Omaha, Atlantic City,
Cleveland, st. Louis and Minneapolis.
Forty thousand dollars are to be ex-
pended this winter in printing a series
of advertisements in the leading news
papers and magazines that are circu-
lated in the centers of population
where the most tourist travel is origin
ated. These newspapers and magazines
are being carefully selected, and the
advertising will be placed by a Pacific
coast agency.
Ten thousand display cards are to be
printed in four colors and hung up in
garages and leading hotels of the coun-
try.
A specially prepared invitation is
being printed to be sent to all COVER
nors, mayors and presidents of auto
clubs, and other organizations. asking
them and their members to spend a
vacation in the Northwest.
When the sections of America where
snow is heavy are this winter digging
snow, they will suddenly be confronted
with an advertisement calling atten-
tion to the mild winters of the North

mer, the ads will again remind them
of the delightfully."- cool season out
here.
The headquarters of the association
are now in the Smith building, Seattle.
where any citizen of the Northwest
will be welcomed and given full infor-
nation about what is being done.

their time to this work are Phil Met
