PRODUCING ONIONS
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Cultural Methods and Timely
Information ? State Should
Raise More Onions.
Clemson College, Nov. 2.<~*Muny cur
loads of onions arc shipped Into this
state every year front Southern and
Northern points when, according to
C. ( \ Newman, professor. of hortleui
tnre at Clemson College, they eun he
grown to perfection in South Carolina.
The high price of onions in recent
years has stimulated a strong Interest
in the growing of this crop. <?>e of the
most important trneU crops,- and it
would he well at this time for all
South Carolina farmers who are In a
position to do so to devote some at
tention to this humble hut useful cou
sin of the Illy. Professor Newman has
prepared In simple form Information
which farmers need to have for onion
culture'.- This is printed in circular
form hy the extension division of Clem
son College amMnay he had upon ap
plication. .Some of the advice It con
tains is printed below.
Onions thrive best on a very fertile
sandy loam .soil, On clayey soil they
will grow fairly well hut they are
much 'more dittlcult. to cultivate and the,
f yield Is never wsi> great . in selecting
laud for onions, take cure not to scj
lect a Held previously grown in grain,
as the grain will vdliujdeer and cause
considerable trouble, coming up at
about the same time that the fall on
ion seed gqrmlnate.
IMo.w null for onions to a depth of
s to 10 Inchon, subsoil If pomdhle, and
harrow repeatedly until a perfect need
I mm I hns been formed. The onion,
which is a grass feeder, requires vory
fertile land and heavy applications of
fertilizer and manure. If the hest re
sults are to he obtained. After the
land litis been thoroly plowed, apply
a well -decomposed manure at the rate
of 'JO to 40 tons |m>i- acre. Thoroly In
corporate manure with the soil by re
lated use of disc harrow. Next apply
and incorporate commercial fertilizer
with the tlrst few inches of soil with
a spike-tooth harrow or Acme harrow.
These Implements leave the ..land in
vei'.v good condition for receiving on
ion s?mmIs or sets. A 10-5-5 fertilizer
Is advised- for onions, to he applied at
the rate of 1,500 to *2,000 pounds to
the acre.
The cheapest way to grow onions on
a la rue. scale is from seed. In the
South onion seeds may l>e planted eith
er during October or lit spring. Best
results aire usually obtained from fall
sowings. The seedlings, however, must
become well established before very
cold weather. If the tops are injur
ed by cold it will not seriously injure
the bulbs, as growth will liegln anew
as soon as weather is favorable. On
ion rows aVe laid off 12 to 15 inches
apart and seed planted in the drill

A prominent sugar manufacturer
says that there Is a difference of two
cents | hm' hag in the cost of jute and
cotton bags ami therefore a sjieclal tax
of two cents each on hags made of jute
would have given our mills orders that
would have meant full time opera

local merchants to advertise their
