Huron Townships in Southern Part of County Centre of the Onion Crop -- By John Kyle in the Family Her- ald and Weekly Star. "I get fifty dollars per acre per annum rental for my land," Mr. Fred Ellerington told me when I asked him regarding the profitable- ness of producing onions. "The same parties come back for my land every year. I continue growing the crop myself. That will give you a hint as to the value of the crop." South Huron townships have what it takes for the growth of this cash crop. Folk living in this region have what it takes to cultivate the crop, which is saying a good deal. The work is exacting and monotonous in a great many of its aspects. It needs to be done well or all manner of troubles and losses are sure to fol- low. The work looks simple but there is not a part of it that does not re- quire good judgment if the best re- sults are to be obtained. "You rotate the crop?" I asked Mr. Elierington, "Surely. In that way we avoid onion diseases, These diseases if they once get into the soil increase at a disturbing rate. That is why onion growing fits in with general farming. When one has a good wide rotation the disease is not only dis- couraged but the rotation seems to told to the quality of the onions." "What about fertilizers?" "I get good results froii having the onion crop follow a good clover crop. When this clover crop is well manured when in the stubble and well plowed in the fall, one is sure to have a really good seed bed for the onion crop especially when the soil is suitable," When One observes how small the onion seed is and remembers how costly it is, he realizes the need of having the soil decidedly fine so that no misses may be made in the sow- ing. It is also highly important that the soil should not be of the sort forms a hard crust, The soil must be 'just right" or trouble will fol- low. A soil of the loamy to black. variety that works up well, that is not wet and yet not over dry is what gives the best results. Mr. Eller- ington has soil of this nature. The skilled vision born of experi- ence counts high in the growth of this crop. One must be able to de- tect when the soil is "just right" for the sowing. He must know the right stage at which to do the weeding. Ile must know when the seed drill is "giving down" the seed so that there will be sufficient seed with- out wasting or having the plants overcrowded. The weeding must be done properly or injury will be done the roots of the plants. As critical a time as any is the judging of when the plants should be harvested. The seemed skin must be well on the way or the bulbs will not be proper - y protected and harm will follow. Then there is the drying stage, in which the tops are dried to the eadily coming off stage. If this Vying is not done exactly right, the nion is likely to be off in color and favor. Little wonder that the skill - d vision is a big asset to the nion grower. The seed is sown in drills approx- nately a foot apart, by a drill for he purpose to which a guiding roar- er is attached. The weeding is one by drill, when possible and by and. When the crop is ready for har- esting, a hand machine called a fter lifts the rows, leaving the nion loosened on the ground. The ulling is done by hand, each puller eking four rows; as a rule. The lions are left in neat piles with ne bulbs exposed to the sun for d17 - g. the onions are ready the les are placed on flats and taken way for rubing, a process that ayes the onions ready for market. onetimes the onions are kept in e fiats over winter, but that de - ends upon the market. While the work of onion harvest - g is tedious, as it all has to be one on the knees and by hand, it is of heavy though it is decidedly earing for the first few days. Many farmerette has won a neat heap of Ilars in this season. Skill is re- ired in the pulling. If one does t know how many onions to grasp loses time either by messy pick - g or by not pulling continuously here is skill in the piling. Unless e bulbs are properly exposed the maturing will not be satisfactory. If one has luck, there is good oney in this crop, but who is to ay if seed is to be on time for test - g, if the seed will prove fertile, if e season will permit weeding, or showers are to be just right so at the onions.will mature to the roper size and. have the proper 'fie - r. Yet scores of folk have taken e risk and have earned a neat pile ungrudged dollars. d 0 e 0 it k d It v li 0 p t 01 ti in pi a le S th p in d n w a do qu no he in T th m s in th if th p. vo th of THE MIXING BOWL By ANNE ADAM Hydro Homo toowosokot EGGS Hello Homemakers! You'd be sur- mised to find out how many people have a favorite coloured egg. All eggs are good eggs -11 they are fresh. It doesn't matter in the least whether the shell is brown or white. 4' * * y: There is a goodly amount of food wrapped up in an egg shell. * * a: * Eggs are rich in minerals, espec- ially iron and vitamins, which the body needs. They are a protective food. Almost 70% of their total weight is water...slightly more than is found in beefsteak and less than is found in milk. (These foods are often compared in value with the egg.) Protein forms about 15% of the egg --greatly needed for repairing or building up tissues. The egg, too, is 10% fat. s: * * s: Slow cooking at a, low even Treat is the secret of success for all egg dishes. Controlled heat, by the snap of a switch, gives you the amount of heat necessary for large or small, pyrex or enamel pmts. "Boiled" eggs should not actually be boiled. They are best if started in cold water— then belted till the water simmers. (Scalloped eggs with cheese sauce or eggs a -la -king make a good and an inexpensive dish.) With plenty of eggs in the electric refrigerator you always have some- thing for breakfast, dinner or sup- per, "Whip up" an omelette and serve with a salad or steaming hot vegetables. (The dessert could also have protein value food -1,e, cheese and crackers.) There are many types of omelette: Plain --with vegetables; omelette with ham or bacon; cheese omelette; herb omelette (thyme, summa' savoury, sweet marjoram) or omelette with mushrooms. You (Tubi serve an omelette three or foto' times a week, when meat is too expensive. * * * 0 Souffles are fancy egg dishes, for company, (if you can depend on your guests being there on time.) The way you serve them depends on what you fold into their feather -like moulds. Suggestion: minced chicken, flaked salmon, or pieces of weiners. For dessert, when you have a vege- table plate or similar main course dish—try a souffle flavoured with a sweet --chocolate sauce, orange juice or any Canadian canned fruit juice! * * * * RECIPES FISH FONDUE 1 cup milk 1 cup soft bread Crumbs 1 tbsp. butter ??r teaspoon salt Fish 3 eggs Scald the milk, add bread crumbs, butter and salt.

Sift a little granulated sugar over the top of sponge cake before put- ting it in your electric oven. It will give a rich brown crust when baked.

Weather Instrument Lands Near Goderich— Colin McMillan, son of James Mc- Millan, Goderich township, was a surprised boy recently, when, in go- ing for the cows, he came across a silk parachute in a field and under it a small rubber barrel and a lead - covered insulated box, about nine by nine by four inches. The whole ap- paratus weighed not more than a couple of pounds and was in good condition. Part of the lid was turned hack and inside could be seen some delicate -looking recording equipment. made of aluminum and wires. Natur- ally the boy hastened home to tell the news and later Mr, McMillan Sr. brought the outfit to Gode'ieh. The printed matter or the box read: „Fragile. Handle with care!

R. Hillier, of the Federal plant products division, reports. Flax is an important war material and all flax grown in this country is purch- ased urchased by the British supply board. It is not allowed to be sold to any other purchaser. The crops have been pulled and approximately fifty per cent is lying in the fields, where the natural process of "retting" lakes place. This is a rotting of the wood in the stalk so that after the flax is put through a mechanical scuteher the wood is shaken out and only the valuable fibre remains. The other fifty per cent has already gone through the seutoher. Conditions this year have been fairly good, Mr. Hill- ier said. There has been just enough rain to "ret" the wood and seventy- five per cent of the seed has been saved. However, last year heavy rains pounded the flax into the ground and only enough seed to plant this year's crop was saved. A thous- and acres of flax at Milton did not do so well this year. It was so dry that it was not netted, but made into green tow for the stuffing of furnit- ure. Mechanical scotching plants are located at Lucknow and Seaforth. The flax is sent. overseas to be woven.
