Onions should be pulled when the tops in the field have 
fallen over and dried considerably.. Allow them to dry on 
the ground and then place in shallow racks with slat bot- 
toms which permit free circulation of air. When fully dried 
the tops may be wrung off and the Onions graded. Normal 
yields between 100 and 400 bushels per acre. One ouncs 
plants 200 feet of row; 3 to 4 pounds, an acre. : 
Culture, Plantings may be made from early September un- 
til March. Sow in rich soil, in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, 
and cover seed lightly. When 4 to 5 inches high, plants 
should be thinned to 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Seed also 
can be sown in seed-beds and later transplanted to the field. 
Shallow cultivation should be practiced every week or 10 days.
