ONION CULTURE—Onions thrive best in rather deep, rich, 
loamy soil. The ground should be deeply trenched and manured 
the previous autumn, and laid in ridges during the winter to 
soften. As early in the spring as the ground is in working 
order commence operations by leveling the ground with a 
rake. Sow thinly in rows 14 to 15 inches apart, 4 pounds to 
the acre, and a quarter of an inch deep. Cover with fine soil 
and press down with the back of a spade or a light roller.
