of onion seed will average about 108

"The islands on the Sacramento river 

 are interesting and are tremendously 

 fertile. The land is all reclaimed and 

 large levees keep the river out. The 

 road runs along the top of the levee 

 and u fine view is obtained of crops 

 when driving along. These islands are 

 by no means small, many of them con- 

 taining 25,000 acres. The land varies. 

 A great deal of it is rich sediment land, 

 vhile much of it is peat. During dry 

 seasons irrigating can be conveniently 

 done by means of a siphon through the 

 K, /ee. On the other hand, should a 

 wet season come there is always a per- 

 fect drainage system, so that the water 

 can be pumped out. Occasionally a 

 levee may break when the river is in 

 flood, and then all is lost. A flooded 

 island is surely a desolate sight. On one 

 island this year I saw over 1,500 acres 

 of onion bulbs grown for market. Never 

 before had I seen so many onions and 

 all in perfect condition. 



"Australian Brown is one of the 

 most popular market onions, because of 

 its keeping qualities. Prizetaker is 

 perhaps the next. It is a grand crop- 

 per and always looks well "on the mar- 

 ket. Yellow Globe Danvers and Yellow 

 Danvers Flat are other popular market 

 varieties. The firm with whom I am em- 

 ployed grows annually some 700 and 

 800 acres of onions for seed. The va- 

 rieties are separated from one another as 

 far as possible, and in the case of dif- 

 ferent colors often miles separate them. 

 So long as Californian growers keep up 

 the scientific method of growing onion 

 seed, then they are always going to 

 command the lead."
