THE i^o 



GARDEN YARD ^^° 



A good crop for an average fanner is from 300 

 to 400 bushels per acre, but an average crop 

 for a good farmer is 600 to 800 bushels per 

 acre; and some have grown as high as 1100 

 bushels to the acre. You can choose your 

 own class. 



The root maggot is the worst enemy the 

 onion has, and there is no really successful 

 method of fighting it. Infested land should 

 be used for other crops that the root maggot 

 will not feed upon, until he is starved out. 

 Rust and smut which also affect onions, may be 

 practically cut out, or at least held in check, by 

 the use of Bordeaux mixture, but rotation is 

 the best remedy for smut.
