SPRING ONION POINTERS
•omt Practical Suggestions About
How and When to Plant Seeds
and Sets for Best Onions.
Onions may be grown in spring from
seed or from sets. However, spring
planting of seed is not generally so
satisfactory and sets are recommend
ed for the man who neglected to plant
In fall and who wants early onions.
For best results with seed, plant
them in October, In order that the
plants may become established befuce and. hurry. calls the machinery
severe winter weather begins and that
the onions may grow off rapidly in
spring and mature early in June.
Still, if seed are planted very early
In spring and conditions are favor
able. they will make good onions, al
though they will be smaller and later
than those from fall-sown seed. •
Onions should be planted on very
sandy loam. After the land has been
thoroughly prepared by deep plowing
and repeated harrowing, apply ferti
lizer and manure broadcast and har
row into the first three or four inches
of soil very thoroughly. Lay off rows
fifteen Inches aparC plant the seed in
the drill, and cover the seed to a depth
of one-half to three-fourths of an
inch.. When the young seedlings ap
pear, cultivate frequently in order to
destroy weeds and maintain moisture.
Thin out the onions so aa. to leave
them standing three or four inches
apart In the row.
To grow onions from Sets, prepare
and fertilize the land as when plant
ing the seed and plant the sets Just as
soon in. spring as soil conditions will
permit. Plant them three to four
inches apart in rows fifteen inches
apart. V,
White Pearl and Prizetaker are the
two most reliable varieties for this
region.
Sets are more convenient for the
home-gardener, but for a commercial
onion planter, seed-planting is to be
preferred, because onions grown from
seed keep better than those grown
from sets and because seed cost less
than sets. , .

REPAIRING FARM MACHINERY
Don’t Walt Until Spring Rush Baglns
But Sea to It Baforahand That Im-
plements are In Good Condition.
Have you forgotten about that brok
en piece, lost bolt, or loose nut on one
of the Implements that you intended
attending to during winter? There Is
still plenty of time for such things,
but It will be unwise to let them wait
until the spring rush of work begins
come with it. Remember the “stitch
in* time” and use the cold, rainy, days
for overhauling broken implements
and sharpening dull blades.
Why wait until your oats are ready
to cut before pulling out your binder
and finding that there is a new piece
to be ordered? This may cost you a
week or two of valuable time and af
ter you have waited impatiently
through several days of fine weather,
it is as likely as not that rain will be
gin to fall. When you order repairs
at such a time, you will find that oth
ers are doing likewise. The manufac
turers are rushed with orders and the
delay is often such that you are driven
to purchase a new machine. ^ T ow
is the time to inspect your equipuTent
and put in your orders for necessary
parts.
Keeping a machine well repaired
and well oiled not only increases its
efficiency and length of life, but also
lessens the power necessary to oper
ate it.
After inspecting an implement,
tightening nuta, renewing ^broken
parts, and sharpening dull blades, a
coat of paint should be applied, fit
will prevent the iron from rusting and
the wood from decaying and will pro
long the life of an implement several
years. For painting, there is nothing
better than red lead and linseed oil.
