Sow in rich, sandy soil, in drills 1 foot apart, 
as soon as the ground can be worked in spring, 
at the rate of 4 to 5 pounds to the acre, or 1 
ounce to 100 feet of drill. Thin to 3 to 4 inches, 
using the rake and hoe frequently to keep down 
the weeds. The finest Onions are produced by 
the new method of sowing the seed in hotbed in 
February and March and transplanting the seed- 
lings to the open ground. Against the coming 
of the Onion Maggot scatter tobacco dust about 
the bases of plants. For thrips use kerosene 
emulsion. As disease is hard to control, it is 
best to destroy all plants attacked.
