Curing of Onions
Aids Storage Life

AS with tobacco, curing" of
onions refers to a drying process.
Onions are cured to prevent in
vasion by organisms which cause
decay. When an onion is prop
erly cured there is not enough
moisture in the neck and outer
scales to support the growth OF
decay organisms.
Onions for storage should be
harvested after they form bulbs,
but while the tops are still part
ly green. The onions should be
removed from the garden to a
sheltered location under A sound
roof. Sun.drying or field curing

and heavy dews keep the onions

Leave the tops on the onions
until the curing process is com.

the outer scales are thoroughly
dry and "crackly" and when no
juice can be squeezed from the
neck when the top is cut off 2
inches above the bulb.
After curing either braid the
onions together into punches or

Check Farm
Storage Need
Official Asks

Maryland farmers should
check up on their storage needs
in the light of this years har
vest, warns George B. Reeves,
chairman of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Con-
servation Committee.
Reeves says that for those who
need additional farm storage or
drying equipment, loans for up
to four percent of the cost are
available at local banks or may
be made directly through the
ASC offices.
Loans are available, Reeves
explains, to owner-operators of
farms, tenants, landlords, or pro-
Queer partnerships for storage
structures and drying equipment
for wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley,
soybeans, grain sorghums, dry
edible beans, rice, peanuts, cotton
Seed flaXSeed and winter cover
crops.
Storage structure loans may be
paid off over four.year period,
and drying equipment loans over
a three-year period. Reeves also
points out that storage structure
loans may be amortized over a
five-year period for income tax
purposes.
From all present indications
this years feed grain harvest will
be up with the best. The July /
crop report indicates a corn crop
of 81 billion bushels, second only
to the record crop of SO billion

Steel Market Given
Added Strength by
Policy on Far East
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE
steel market, already strong, has
been given added strength by the
policy OF. the United States in the
Far East, Iron Age, the national
Woodworking weekly, said today.
For several years demand for
products other than those for
the auto business and for certain
fiat rolled steel items, which has
been very active. has surged for
ward also, the publication added.
Iron Age reported as follows:
Order books at some steel COM
panies show a bigger order back
log now than at any time since
the downtrend in steel began Is
months ago.
Strong Plate Market.
There is a strong plate market
potential to be realized because
of large pipe line projects, re-
newed freight car buying by rail-
roads, increased demand from
the construction industry and
the start of seasonal pickup in
steel order volume on top of the
general recovery.
Steel buyers are being prodded
into more purchases by recogni-
tion that inventories are too low
not only in the face of their own
operations but in view of the
international picture also.
Some customers are recalling
the run on materials when the
Korean conflict began, although
no such hysteria has invaded
the steel market. @
Only within the past week
some customers are realizing
that in making forward plans
for steel consumption they face
the impact of at least equal if
not heavier defense procure
ment; a labor and price situa-
tion in steel; the fact that there
is not much leeway between the
present operating rate and ca
pacity operations.
Freight Car Buying Up.
Within the past week or 10
days railroad buying of freight
cars has taken "a terrific jump"
More than $500 freight cars have
been ordered, among them $500
for export to India.
Railroad demand for rails
and track accessories has picked
up already among Western rail-
roads, although it has not yet
expanded in the East.
The steel ingot rate is expected
to end the week at So per cent
of rated capacity, up one point
from last weeks revised rate.
This is a new high since the
upturn in steel. Before the peak
is reached there is reason to
believe the rate will 60 to 80
per cent or higher.
