top Of each other. This will leave IN
mir space of about one and one-half
inches between the onions and the bot
tom of the crate above.
The old method of curing onions was
to gather them by hand ns soon as they
were mature, throwing three or four
rows together and allowing them to dry
partially for few days.
The best varieties of onions to grow
in the South for commercial purposes
are White Pearl and Prize Taker.
These are onions Of large size, attrac-
tive appearance and very mild flavor.
Bermuda onions may be grown In some
sections of the South protitably. The
Crystal Wax is probably the most sat
isfactory of the Bermuda type.
Important Truck Crop.
The onion Is one of the most I'M
portant of our truck crops. Many
carloads are shipped into this state
every year from southern and northern
points, yet onions can be grown to per-
fection in this state. They thrive best
on n very fertile, sandy, loan soil. On
clayey soil they will grow fairly well,
but they are much more difficult to cul-
tivate than on sandy loan and the
yield is never as great. In selecting
land for onions, care should be taken
not to select field previously grown
in grain, as the grain will volunteer
and cause considerable trouble, coming
up at about the same time that the fall
onion seeds germinatc.

RAILROAD STRIKE
DEMANDS GRANTED
WAR CRISIS CAUSES RAILROADS
TO GRANT DEMANDS OF
BRoTHERHooDs.
MEDIATORS DRAWING TERMS
Elsht-Hour Day Granted by Operators
After Day and Night Conference.
The Mediators To Settle
All Details.

New York.-The conference commit
tee Of railroad managers authorized
President Wilson's mediators to make
whatever arrangements were neces-
sary with the railroad brotherhoods
to call off the threatened strike.
The formal letter in which this au-
thorization was made signed by Elisha
Lee, chairman of the managers com
mittee, was as follows:
In the national crisis precipitated
by events of which we have just heard,
the national conference committee of
railroads joins with you in the convic-
ton that neither at home nor abroad
should there be fear or hope that the
efficient operation of the railroads of
the country will be hampered or i'm
paired.
Therefore you are authorized to as
sure the nation there will be no strike,
and as basis for such assurance we
hereby authorize the committee of the
council of national defense to grant
to the employees who are about to
strike whatever adjustment your com
mittee deems necessary to guarantee
the uninterrupted and efficient opera
tions of the railroads as an indispensa-
BILE arm of national defense"
The decision reached by the man
ayers means that the brotherhoods
have won an important victory, al
though it does not bring them all their
original demands.
By the agreement 1t rs assumed they
will be awarded pro rata time for
overtime on the basis of an eight-hour
day, which they have been assured.
Their original demands called for
time and half for overtime on the
same basic day.
The men will get their present pay
for 10 hours for eight hours work UNI
der the agreement.
These concessions on the part of
the managers are virtually what the
employees contended they would gain
under the Adamson law if it were de-
clared constitutional.
Immediately after Secretary Lane
had made his announcement the
brotherhood leaders sent kilograms to
all the general chairmen informing
them that the strike had been de-
clared off.

RUSSIAN CAR ADVOCATES
Car Nicholas Abdlcates and Grand
Grand Duke Michael Becomes
Regent.

Petrograd.-The emperor of Russia
has abdicated, and Grand Duke Mi
chael Alexandrovitch, his younger
brother, has been named as regent.
The Russian ministry, charged with
corruption and incompetence, has been
swept out of office. One minister,
Alexander Protopopoff, head of the in
terror department, has been killed, and
the other ministers, as well as the
president Of the imperial council, are
under arrest
A new national cabinet is announc-
ed, with Prince Lvoff as president of
the council and premier, and the other
offices held by men who are close to
Russian people.
For several days Petrograd has been
the scene of one Of the most remark.
able risings in history. Beginning with
minor food riots and labor strikes, the
cry for food reached the hearts of the
soldiers, and one by one the regiments
rebelled, until finally those troops that
had for time stood loyal to the gov
eminent took up their arms and
marched into the ranks of the revolu
tlonists.
The president Of the duma, Michael
V. Dodzianko. was the leading figure
among the deputies who unanimously
decided to oppose the imperial order
for a dissolution Of the house. They
continued their sessions, and M. Rod.
zianko informed the emperor, then at
the front, that the hour had struck
when the will Of the people must pre-
vail
The emperor FASTENED back from
the front, only to find that the revolu-
tion had been successful, and that
new government was in control. The
empress, who, it is alleged, has been
influential in the councils opposed to
the wishes Of the people, is reported to
have fled or to be in hiding.

with Felix Diaz and Villa for the pur-
pose of crushing Carranza.
1t is reported he will declare Gen.
Carranza's election void because the
first chief threatened death to all who
did not vote for him.
Despite rigid censorship, 800 of Gen.

Gen. Francisco Murguia escaped to

U. s. SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Armed Neutrality Covers Sinking OF
American Ship.


Washington.-In the absence OF Of
fetal dispatches on the destruction of
the steamer Algonquin, officials with
held comment, but the unofficial view
was that nothing in the incident
changes the situation between the
United States and Germany.
President Wilson already has taken
steps to place the nation in state Of
armed neutrality, which, with the
breaking of diplomatic relations with
Germany, is practically the last meas
ure possible short of war.
American ships now are being arm
ed to defend themselves against I'M
lawful submarine attack. The gen.
eral view is that arming Of ships is
the only answer to submarine opera
tions short of declaration of war,
which may be made only by congress.
