ONION AS AN ARTICLE OF FOOD

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture)
From the earliest times of which we
have authentic records the onion has
been highly esteemed as an article of
food. In desert regions it was early
used also as a preventive of thirst by
travellers and soldiers on the march,
The original home of the plant. of
which there are many varieties, was
probably southern Asia or the Dor
ders of the Mediterranean sea.
Egyptians cultivated the onion at
the dawn of their history, according TO
w. r. Beattie, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, and now
the Egyptians offer competition to the
Texas producers of wintergrow Ber-
muda onions.
The onion, says Mr.. Beattie. belongs
to widely variable species, Album
cepa. which forms a part of the bO-
tanical family Of plants which in
cludes many of the lilies, the several
forms of asparagus and smilax, and

enlarged root. A characteristic of this
family is that most of its species
grow naturally upon soil having an
abundance of moisture, many of them
being natives of lOw-lying areas along
the SeaShOre. Another characteristic
of plants like the onion and aspara-
gus is that they will withstand con-
siderable salt i'm the soils on which
they grow. Conditions favorable 10

These are charming stitched and

Small, sleek satin hats after the or
der of the one conferred in this group
are nifty" The manner in which one
side of this hat is brought down in an
elongated line, while the other side
shortens, is characteristic of the new

stone ornament also identities this
model as tres chic, for from Paris
comes word that elaborate ornaments
are scheduled to nobly "do their Bit
in decorating the new hats. Speaking
of ornaments brings to mind new
vogue in prospect-that of straw hats
trimmed with intriguing motifs made
of bright colored pasted feathers.
By the way, not only is fancy stitch
ing being applied to satin hats, but
stitched felt is a keen competitor.
Even more advance are the fine little
natural lightweight body straw hats
which fiaunt unusual stitching. In
fact The stitching is made real fea-

which are extremely interesting to all
women.
The first hat in this picture is an
entirely different type from the
smart, sleek-stitched satins, but it is
nevertheless important from style
viewpoint, being one of those fasci-
mating little draped tricot turbans
which are causing such flutter of en-

lions of the United States and the
crop is widely grown.
Good prices for onions one year are
likely to stimulate heavy production
the next year. This is true not only
because commercial growers expand
their acreage but also because good
prices will lead many individuals to
plant onions in small patches or home
gardens that supply more than the
needs of the growers and so enter the
local markets in competition with the
field grown crop. Onions demand in
tensive culture. which makes them
particularly adaptable for truck patch
and back-lot cultures. in which the
grower can cultivate and weed them
in the time outside his usual hours of
employment The average yield of
an acre of onions is about 300 bush
els, but on soils that are suitable and
fertile good cultivation often results
in yields of from 400 to 600 bushels
an acre.

as garnish.
The fresh green leaves of lettuce
make any meal look more attractive.
plate of plain lettuce salad is often
the most tempting dish made in hot
weather, and as it is the easiest salad
to prepare, it should be served often.
Lettuce is rich in certain vitamines,
so in addition to making summer
meals apretizing, il is healthful.
Head lettuce is the most popular
form for salads. but leaf lettuce may
be served chopped or shredded. For
a plain lettuce salad cut the head in
sections or separate the leaves to
form cups for the dressing. Almost
any kind of salad dressing is suitable,
but French and Thousand Island
dressings are general favOrites.
