TO ERADICATE WILD ONIONS

j. I. Coons, one of Montgomery
county's most progressive farmers,
has been seeking a way to rid his
land of wild onions and wrote to the
College of Agriculture at the Uni
versity of Kentucky for information
on the subject. The following let
ter, which will be of interest to
farmers, was received by Mr.. Coons:
Lexingtons KY, March l, 1922.
Mr.. j. T. Coons, Mt. Sterling, Ky.
Dear Sir; have your letter of
February 81 Perhaps an oil spray
would be the most practical method
of handling the>onions in these small
patches. do not know whether the
oil from the automobile would be
effective or not, but imagine that it
would. The Indiana station has
carried on experiments with the use
of oil for the eradication of wild
onions and have had very success
full results. They recommend the
use of orchard-heating oil, which l
presume is crude oil with most of
the gasoline and more volatile parts
removed. At the same time this is
perhaps more volatile than your au-
tomobile oil. l suppose you intend
to use the waste oil after it has lost
its value for lubricating purposes.
Gasoline is too volatile and will |
not kin the onions; neither would |
coal oil. They win kill the tops, but !
will not penetrate into the ground.
You must have something heavier,

Season, let alone for a whole year, on the
sum Of $1,000.
1t might have been done before the war;
but 1T cannot be done now, what with
prices ruling so high and the standard
having been forced up by the entry into
Society OF the new-rich spouses of the Old
Nobility with their unlimited cash and
their mad riot of expenditure in order to
cut in Society the figure they could nol
hope to cut on their merits.
Unless a woman can take her part in
this mad competition in external adorn.
ment she is voted an outsider and she is
deliberately excluded from Society func
tions. On the rare occasions when she
does appear she has the modification Of
being eyed as though she were a being
from the lowest order Of Society who had
dared to stray into such select company
and ought to be struck dead for her pre-
sumption.
To a sensitive woman there can be no
greater humiliation than 10 be thus re.
garded in Society which throws its portals
open to the latest Revue star or to the
richly endowed daughter Of somebody who
laid the foundations OF his fortune as
rag and bone merchant in pre.war days.
And our husbands, who hold up their
hands in horror when asked to pay the
bills thus incurred in order to keep apace
with this mad competition in adornment
are they entirely guiltless? | think not.
How often do we hear husbands taunt
their wives with their inability to shine
in Society as other women shine? There
is hardly a man in the higher ranks of
Society to-day Of whom 1t cannot be said
that he is forever melting his wife to ex-
travagance by criticizing her lack Of
sparkle and dazzle in the way | describe
