Onions 
One ounce of seed for 200 ft. of drill; 4 to 5 
lbs. per acre. 
Onions^are highly prized for their tonic quali¬ 
ties, and doctors everywhere are advocating the 
use of them in the diet. 
A good, well-drained soil, reasonably fertile 
and well pulverized, will give the best crops. 
Cover the seed lightly and thin the seedlings 
when they are 3 inches tall, so that they will 
have room to develop freely. When the bulbs 
have reached maturity, bend down the tops to 
hasten ripening before the Onions are harvested.
