The onion is an important vegct-i able, not only bccau.se of its direct food value, but nl<o i1 i - n: common and most useful seasoning1 j for a great variety of foods. Like ali succulent vegetables, however, it is low in nutrition value, containing. j as it does, about nine-tenths water) and only one-tenth food substance. Nevertheless, the material it contributes is well worth having. The onion owes its flavor to a pungent, oil like substance sulphur, and it must not be overlooked that sulphur is ar important mineral clement, which the body needs. At this season of the year one o< the welcome additions to the diet is the spring onion. It is commonly eaten raw and may thus form part of a salad, or it may be cooked and served in a variety of ways.

Housekeepers frequently use a little of the finely chopped tops for seasoning salads, etc., particularly when onions are very young but more generally the tops are thrown away. According to the home economic experts of the department this should not b.e done, as they make a very palatable dish when prop erly cooked. The tops, including any of the white portion of the stalk which one does not wish to cook with the onions, should be washed several times, cut into pieces one half to an inch in length, and cooked in salted water to which baking soda in the proportion of one-fourth of a level lOBBY'S PROGRESSIVE f > Department are Prepared by )eal With the Problems of the H County Farmer. teaspoonful to 2 quarts of the cut-up "greens" has been added. As soon as the onion greens are tender, pour off the water in which they wore cock ed, add butter, heat thoroughly, a*id serve on buttered toasts. If one wishes a more substantial dish, it is easily made by putting a poached egg on top of each slice of toast and 01 ion greens. Onion tops thus cooked aiv tender and, contrary to what one might expect from their proncuriccc odor when raw, are very mild in flavoi as well. The onions may be cooked with tl.~ greens or may be cooked and served separately, at the housekeeper's con venicnce. They add to the attrac ivoness of the dish if served on a be. of onion greens on toast. They arc also very palatable buttered and servc.l oil toast like asparagus. In this case it is usual to cook with the'onion all of the white stalk that is tender. Serving green vegetables on toast is an economical as well as a palatable method. It makes the vegetable "go further." adds considerably to the to- j ta! food value of the ?dish, and is ono| more good way of using stale bread. ! NOTES FROM MANY I,ANTES.

CONTROLLING CORN ANDl COTTON WiREWORM Loss From This Feculiar Pes' Minimized by Avoiding Summer Cultivation. at- < <1 Washington, D. C., June 21.?In the eradication of the corn and cottoi wireworm, one of the most important steps is to leave the soil undisturbec from the middle of June to the midtile of August. This, says a new publication of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Farmers' Bulletn 733 may prove, indeed, to be the most beneficial measure that can be adopted . In addition to handling the ground in such a way as to make this possible, the author, Edmund H. (libson, recoVnmends that manure and cover crops be turned under in ordei to add humus to the light sandy spots and, that if it must be grown on infested land, corn be planted early and everything possible done to hasten its ?*;.MI<I rrvAVL't U b1 v"v"> Throughout the Carolinas, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, ami Mississippi, and very probably elsewhere in the eastern half of the United States, the corn and cotton wireworm is capable of destroying totally fields of corn. Ordinarily, however, the insect concentrates its attacks upon spots of loose sandy soil, and for this reason the species is sometimes referred to I as the "sandy spot" wireworm. Under, proper conditions the pest can do an enormous amount of damage. Cotton and corn are its principal food, but oats, rye, cowpeas, crab grass, and Johnson grass sulfer as well, and sweet potatoes, peanuts, tobacco, watermelons, and the roots of wild bamboo have been attacked. The adult beetles deposit their eggs in the soil about the roots of corn, cowpeas, and other plants, for1 the most part, during the latter part of June and through July. Asr soon as the young wircworms,, or larvae, emerge from the eggs, thc-y begin to food upon the roots of the plants around them. With the coming of the winter, the worms descend into the ground to a depth depending upon the severity of the climate. Always, however, they go down sufficiently far to make fall and winter plowing useless as a means of eradication. In the spring the worms return to the to?) soil. Altogether they remain in the '^?*ound as larvae for two years and possibly for three. They then enter the pupa or vesting stage and in about twelve days emerge as adult beetles and very shortly thereafter begin to deposit their eggs. This, however, the ^beetles will not do in soil which is crusted or baked. A field in this condition they will leave for one which is covered by a dust mulch or which has recently been plowed. This fact is of the utmost ISE SELLS IT FOR LES ray Hill Club Quart Quarts Qi 1 Good Whiskey".$1.00 $1.95 er Rye l.OG 1.95 : i "66" 1.00 1.95 : n of Kentucky 80c 1.50 2 ird Duffy's Malt Put up in Fives ts. 1 Bottle 2 Bottlra 4 Bottl< 5 90c $1.7S $3.4 KENTUCKY WHISKEY Than the Best tart* 4 Full Quart* * 5 $2.50 V Thi.

This may oe pastured during the winter months uul turned under during tiie spring, he hue. us which is thus added to the and stiffens the sandy soil, which, as has been said, provides the most fa'orable conditions for the wireworms. \ catch crop of red clover is also excellent, and such combinations as wheat and clover is certain localities not only afford two crops a year, but permit the soil to remain undisturbed at the time when the beetles are laying their eggs. The most effective means of getting riu of the pest would undoubtedly be to let the infested fields lie idle for three years. In this way a crust would be formed 011 the surface which the majority of adult wireworms could not penetrate. For obvious reasons, however, the average farmer does not care to do this an.! will prefer to adopt the measure men tioned. In any event, lie is warned by the author of the bulletin not to plant corn two years in succession or, infested land. FLOREMGE MAN HAS FIRST COTTON BLOOM (Florence Times.) Mr. J. Ii.
