of rain and the adverse atmospheric 

 conditions prevailing throughout the 

 season, disease has made an appearance 

 in the onion fields. There are few large 

 or small onion seed plantations free 

 from it. I have detected three different 

 diseases — one caused by the larvae of 

 a fly setting on the seed-bearing heads, 

 another caused by a fungus growing 

 within the stalk, and the third attack- 

 ing the roots. 



"The cloudy weather at present, 

 when many hours of glorious sunshine 

 aire needed for the seeds to mature, 

 will surely delay the crop, of which 

 please take note. 



"Taking everything into account, I 

 consider that the average yield for the 

 White Crystal Wax, and the White Ber- 

 muda, will not exceed sixteen to seven- 

 teen pounds of seed for every 100 

 pounds of onions planted. It may yet 

 be less if disease continues spreading 

 havoc in our poor fields. As regards 

 the Eed Bermuda, it is a more serious 

 matter. I reckon that sixty-five to 

 seventy per cent of this year's crop is 

 irretrievably lost. ' '
