Crowing Mature Onions From
QMil
iKIU
Clemson College.?There is
evidence of cansiderable tenden
cy on the part of farmers in some
sectioiis to grow onions for
market. The Horticultural Di
vision has prepared a brief circular
on- growing onions from seed,
- in order that those interested may
have definite information on
this subject. The following suggestions
on varieties, planting,
and cultivation is given as of
timely interest to prospective
onion growers.
Planting.?Best results will us
ually be ^obtained by planting
the seed during October. How\
ever, they can be grown very
L successfully, if olanted in very
k fertile, well-prepared soil, in late
ft February or early March, and
A will produce marketable onions

seed planted in the fall will pro*
~ duce larger onions and will mature
a little earlier than the
spring planted crop. When
planted in the fall the seedlings
must become well established
before very cold 'weather id\ order
that they may not be injured
by the severe cold of December
'and January. It the tops are
iniured by the' cold it will not
seriously injure the bulbs, as
growth will begin again as soon
as the weather is favorable.
Onion rows are laid off from
12 to 15 inches apart and the seed
planted in the drill. The seed
should be covered in the drill.
The seed should be covered not
more than 1-2 to 3-4 or an inch
^ deep. In spring when the onions
are large enough to handle
they should be thinned out to
from 3 to 4 inches apart in the
; ~ row. These thinnings may be
used to fill in any vacancies that

and Southport Globe. These

jured by cold, but they do well
in the Cootal region.
Cultivation An soon as the!
onions are 8 to 4 inches high
they should be cultivated, using ,
an ordinary wheel hoe. It is I
very necessary to continue tbis
cultivation, especially after every
rain, until the onions begin to
bulb. It the onion field is allowed
to become badly infested
with grass or weeds, it will be
very expensive t o eradicate
them. Therefore, it is very I5SC* i
essary to destroy all grass and
weeds as soon as they appear.
Feed For the Sow With Suckling
Pigs
Clemson College.?Every farmer
who has a brood sow wants
to know the best and most economical
ration for that sow
while she is suckling her litter
In many instances unbalanced
rations are fed with serious results.
Any of the following rations,
suggested by Prof L V.
Starkey. Chief ot the Animal
Husbandry Division, are balanc
ed, and should give good re
suits:?
1. Ear corn 95 pounds; tankage
or fish meal 5 pounds; pasture.
^ ^ 1 rnmtr 1
6. urouna corn yd pounas;
ground oats 10 pounds; wheat
midlines 10 pounds; tankage or
fish meal 5 pounds; pasture. 3
Feed 1-4 to 1-3 pound of
tankage or fish meal per head
daily in troughs and enough ear
corn to keep sows in condition.
4. Corn 50 pounds; velvet
beans in pod (soaked) 48 pounds;
tankage or fish meal 2 pounds;
pasture.
5. Corn 50 pounds, ground
oats 25 pounds; shorts 20 pounds;
tankage or fish meal 5 pounds;
pasture.
, 7. Corn" 50 poundff grount
oats 20 pounds; skimmilk o
buttermilk 100 pounds; pasture.
i 8. Coin meal 65 pounds; re<

pounds; tankage or fish meal i

Farm Gossip
If I could wield poetic pbn,
I would sing of cow, and sow,'1
and hen.
A bale of cotton in the warehouse
is worth two in the open
weather.
Home improvements cost
money but save mother.
Are fence corners and trees
sufficiently good winter quarters I
for farm machinery? . J
A dead weevil in * time saves ]
nine million. Plow under cot- j
ton stalks early.
, Next to "know thyself" the I
most important thing for a - farm-1
er is "know thy land." '
Most of us won't take
trouble to find out how easy it is
to provide good pastures for
hogs.
- Kill two birds at one shot: harvest
the corn and feed the hogs
by the "hogging-down" method.
