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. A little

ful to a dozen onions) should be added
to the salted water in which they
are cooked. 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

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. !

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

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.
