most costly onion decay.
Another conditioning practice
is to run a good deep furrow on
each side of row, throwing the
dirt from the onions and leaving
them on a narrow bed which will
gradually dry out, leaving the
onions in a good condition for
pulling and curing.
Onions that have been properly
conditioned should be pulled and
handled very carefully to avoid
bruising and spread in a dry and
we^rventilated building and prop
erly cured before cleaning, grad
ing and sacking.

This is one year that we want
to produce nlenty of food, but it
is more important to prevent
spoilage after food has been pro
duced. Many thousand pounds of
onions rot each year on account of
not being properly matured and
cured. It is hard to properly
cure and keep onions if not in
proper condition when harvested.
It has been found a good prac
tice to condition onions for har
vest. About ten days or two weeks
before onions are to be harvested,
the tops should be broken down
just above the bulb. This can be
done in gardens by hand but in
larger acreages, a light roller
will do a faster job. This causes
the stems to dry out and the
neck to close before being pulled
from the ground. This materially
reduces infection of neck rot, our

206 W. 17th St., New York, N. Y.
It is about 200 miles from a
little town called Carrabelle on
the Northwestern Gulf Coast of
Florida to Jacksonville on the At
lantic Coast. It is fairly level
going all the way; no severe ups
and downs; no heavy rock for
mations; no great rivers or flood
areas. If engineers could lay the
24-inch pipe line, which we know
as the “Big Inch,” at a speed of
five miles per day over the sort
of terrain which lies between
Longview, Texas, and Norris City,
111., they could certainly equal
that speed from Carrabelle to
Jacksonville.
There is a sheltered and easily
protected waterway from the oil
ports of Texas to Carrabelle; and,
along the Atlantic seaboard, the
Inland Waterway runs from south
ern Florida' all the way to New
Jersey. No submarines could reach
oil shipments over this route.
One 24-inch pipe line could
transport 390,000 barrels daily.
Two or three laid in the same
ditch for economy’s sake—would
eliminate East Coast gasoline and
oil troubles.
Such a program would neces
sitate the construction of pipe
lines and pumping stations, hun
dreds of small diesel powered tow
boats and many hundreds of oil
barges. These latter could be
constructed of poured concrete
reinforced with steel. The a-
mount of steel used would be
small and the labor far less than
would be required for barges con
structed of lumber.
At a time like the present when
every effort is concentrated upon
making the machinery for war,
it might almost appear to be too
expensive an undertaking to con
struct this “through line” from
the Texas oil fields to New Jer
sey. But if we are to believe
what we read and hear about the
impending East Coast gasoline
and oil shortage, this project—or
one with the same object in
view—is as important as the
battlefront itself. For not onlv
are East Cdast war industries an
essential part of the nationwide
effort, but from the standpoints
of health and morale, a really
desperate situation in great cen
ters of oopulation like New Eng
land states, New York, Pennsyl
vania and New Jersey, caused b: T
too great a shortage of these tw">
essentials—would be catastrophe
beyond words.
In about five months from no^ r
the Northern Atlantic states will
begin to need oil and coal to keen
the people warm. This will b?
added to the demand for gasoline
to keep road transportation i j
motion. Even now the East i’>
being “cut to the bone” in the
use of gasoline—and nothi^rr
could be more sensible if the.
cutting doesn’t go too far
cause a transportation brea v -
down. But is the East bef^g
forced to economize on gasolin'
so that fuel and heating oils can
be shipped there through the
summer and stored for the win
ter demand; or is all of it be
ing shipped abroad for our war
efforts? And even if great quan
tities are being stored—will that
surplus be sufficient to tide the
Northeastern states over anothe"
such winter as the past one? And
if the oil just isn’t available when
the time comes—then what**
People will walk, starve and die
all sorts of deaths for their
country’s sake—but they won't
freeze gracefully.
It is someone’s job to get cil
and gasoline to the East Cca"A
by next winter; and It wot’*
make any difference to freezing
people what the reasons or ex
cuses for failure may be. Tljere
are ways to forestall a serious
shortage if action is begun ii
time.
There must not be a famine 11

Atlantic states this coining win

too unpleasant.

HOME OF BETTER VALUES
GREENWOOD, S. C.
Cotton, in general, is as good as
we have had in a number of
years, is the expression used by
most farmers. Corn is not so
promising, but has shown much
improvement in the last week.
Grain is about harvested but
yields varied greatly—some real
good, some poor,—as a whole it
seems to me we are falling short.
Boll weevils are plentiful. Mop
ping with our 1-1-1 mixture,
‘Mop and Mix,” arsenate and
flour, or any other poison should
be applied immediately if not al-
eady. Repeat the mopping in
from 5 to 7 days. Some scalding
has resulted from poisoning in
the heat of the day; better wait
until in the late of the evening.
If you are in need of addition
al labor, see your County Agent
and see if he can find it for you.
The victory gardens entered
in the Bracknell contest are
showing up good as we go about
making inspections.
Plant more beans, tomatoes and
corn in your garden to can for
winter. Plan a late garden just
as you have a spring garden—it’s
hot of course, but we must eat.
Terrace that grain field so that
the soil will have a chance to
stay with you. Now is the time—
Mr. Crawford is ready.
