One ounce will sow a hundred feet of drill; six pounds 
will plant one acre. A clean, deep, rich soil thoroughly 
worked is the best for this crop. Get the seed in as early 
as possible, for if the onions do not get a good start before 
the hot, dry weather, the crop is sure to be a feilure. Sow 
in shallow drills not less than a foot apart; when the plants 
are about three inches high, thin to the distance of three or four inches, according to variety 
doing this disturb those that remain as little as possible. 
A valuable book for every one who raises onions is The New Onion Culture," by B. T. Greiner. 
which will be sent free by mail for 50 cents.
