RAISING Onions from Seed

It is often difficult to secure good
results from planting onion seed but
by following the directions below no
trouble should be experienced.
Assuming that you have the seed
bed in the desired condition, SOW the
seed very thin and about fourth OF
an inch deep in rows g inches apart.
Leave every other row empty so that
when the plants are thinned. the cx-
ira ones can be transplanted in the
empty rows. AS soon as the seeds
have sprouted begin very shallow
cultivation. AS soon as the plants
reach the size of crochet needle.
wet the rows. thin the plants and
transplant in tie blank rows. Set
the young plants three or four inches
apart.
1t will be necessary to do some
hand wedding until the plants are
large enough to allow the use of the
hoe. The onions should be Cultivat :
ed shallow twice a week to prevent
the ground from packing and to keep
a dust mulch. Plenty OF humus
should be incorporated in the soil.
which should be | sandy loan.
If it is desired TO hasten maturity
at the end Of the season the tops are
broken down. causing the plant to
put all the plant food into the bulb.
One way to break the tops down is to
roll an empty barrel over the rows.
After the onions are thoroughly
mature, they are removed from the
soil and spread out in the sun to dry
thoroughly, after which they may be
placed in bags or crates for storage.
Some good common varieties are

Echo Device Tells Ocean Depths

Apparatus to determine ocean
depths, similar to that developed in
the war for the detection Of sub
marines. has been perfected by the
Navy Department as the result of
tests made by experts aboard the ex-
perimental ship Ohio.
The principle upon which the
method is based is that OF creating a
sound on the ship and listening for
the echo from the bottom Of the
ocean, measuring the time between
the creation Of the sound and the
echo.
The time interval can be obtained
within one thousandth of a second,
With the time interval and knowing
the velocity of sound in water. the
depth can be measured to q high de-
gree of accuracy.
Navy Department officials ac-
knowledged that Investigations OF the

velocity of sound show considerable
discrepancy, it being estimated by
various authorities at all the way
from 1900 to 5000 feet n second.
They expressed the opinion that the
new navy device will settle that qhes-
ton.
According to Secretary DENLY the
device is exceedingly simple TO opor-
ate and can be used by a vessel
steaming at high speed. 1t is be-
lieved it will be possible. eventually,
to construct a comparatively cheap
device for installation in merchant
ships.-Public Ledger Bureau.
