MUSTARD

lightfully pungent flavor to the various forms of pre¬ 
pared salads. For early crops the seed may be sown 
in a hotbed in March, and for general crop at frequent 
intervals through the spring, in drills from eight to 
twelve inches apart.

ONION

Select the cleanest, richest land on the farm for 
the Onion crop. If onions were grown on the land the 
previous year, so much the better, but any good corn or 
potato land will do. Broadcast fifteen to twenty cords 
of fine, well-rotted manure to the acre and plow not 
deeper than six inches; harrow thoroughly, cross plow, 
and harrow again, after which hand rake with wood 
rake and remove stones and rubbish. Sow four to five 
pounds of seed per acre in drills twelve to fourteen 
inches apart and about one-half inch deep. See that 
the Seed Drill is equipped with a good roller that will

press the earth firmly upon the seed. Sow as early in 
the spring as the ground can be properly worked. 
There is seldom necessity for thinning Onions if the 
land has been properly manured and seeded. After 
the Onions are three, to four inches high, an applica¬ 
tion of about five hundred pounds to the acre of fer¬ 
tilizer, rich in available nitrogen, strewn between the 
rows, will be very beneficial. Keep the Onions grow¬ 
ing by never allowing the weeds to get ahead and the 
acre should produce in a good average season, five 
hundred to seven hundred bushels. When the tops are 
down, the Onions may be pulled and left on the ground, 
and should be frequently turned with a wooden rake 
until tops are dried. 
ONION SETS 
Onion sets should be planted as early in the spring 
as convenient to obtain early green onions, but they 
may be set at any time up to June 1. Set in rows a 
foot apart and three to four inches between them in 
the row. Any good soil will suit them. When grown 
in quantities, high cultivation is given in order to for¬ 
ward the crop for an early market. They are ready 
for use as soon as the bulbs begin to be of fair size. 
Those not used in green condition will ripen early in 
July and make nice onions. Potato and Top onions are 
grown from bulbs only.
