PRODUCE ONION SETS FOR ALL CANADA Above is shown part of the interior of the Steele i3riggs onion warehouse at Hensall where many of the Dutch sets for the Canadian market are stated over winter. The onions are laid nut in thin layers on the racks. • 3'fost of the onion Dutch sets planted in Canadian gardens each spring conte 'from the district sur- rounding 'Hensal4 Staring the onion sets in the warehouses 'in the fall and preparing them for shipment each spring is a task which requires 'con- sidera'ble work, The Steele Briggs and Rennie Seed companies have warehouses at Hensall and in the next few weeks over a hundred tons of onion sets 'will be shipped direct to distributors. Representatives of the firms supervise the work 'which is mostly done by local omen. A goad clay loam is 'necessary to forst a hard onion set of .the required size, and the soil conditions in the Hensall area went to be one of the few ,places in Canada well suited dor the purpose. About an acre is the most that any individual can look after as they require careful attention. Seeding is clone by a hand drill to secure uni- formity. The rows are about a foot apart and the seeds are planted close together. When the onions are taken up :they are left out for a week or so to rot the tops, When eery they are rubbed by hand on a board, 'breaking off the tops. Late in the fall the onions are brought to the storehouse and .passed over screens which discard the very small ones. ,under ,three-eighths of an inch, and also remove the larger ones, over seven-eigths inch. The larger onions are used for pickling. The onion sets are then laid out on trays in thin layers. It is explained that if piled in a heap the onions soon would heat and start to grow; the roots would -entwine forming a so- lid- mess, 'Only in very cold weather is the 'bltilding heated and 'Sherr 'but very slightly. In the Spring the onions are care- fully :sorted and made ready for s'hip- •ping in bags. In some districts a type of red onion is favored, particularly in Quebec, and to supply this trade a quantity of red 'onion, sets are imported. If white onione are grown anywhere within a utile of red onions the two will mix, even .the first season. Consequently pure red onions come 'from specially isolated -growing areas. Most of the onion seed supplied to the focal ,growers is imported from the 'United State;. 1'lany other email gar- den seeds are imported from vario'cs parts of the world where they are rais- ed by specialists. In the past 'five or ,six years Dutch sete for the west have been supplied partly by a suitable area in Manitoba, LAYS TWIN -EGGS 'A goose on the farm of Mr, Wil- fred Coleman, Tnckersmith, 'produced what appears 'to be .an nnusuai variety of double yoke egg. In the nest Sat- urday morning were found two eggs each partially -fla't'tened at one encs and when placed with the flat surfaces to- gether formed the shape and size of an ordinary goose egg. The centre of the (flat surfaces had soft shell and a membrane through which could be seen the yoke in each egg. The lerger egg formed three-quarters 'of a per- fect egg and the smaller one was shaped as the remain'in,g quarter. The goose credited with this curiosity had been keeping to the customary sched- ule ,for 'geese -laying every second day but every egg was a double yoke which is not suitable for a hatching egg. Saturday's production appeared an attempt to remedy this situation. A goose usually lays a setting of t12 or 13 eggs. If no goslings hatch front 'the first setting it is related that 011 occa- Sion it second setting will be pro- du-ced. LIONS' MILK FUND Originally this milk was provided from the general fated of the Lions Chub. However the expense bi11 for crippled children and for defective eyesight among children had reached atieh proportions two years ago that a separate Milk 'Fund became neces- sary. Last winter it was quite suc- cessful and 'we came through with a small balance, This winter to date the fund has received 'less than one half the sttppont accorded last i year and there is barely enough on . hand (including last year's 'balance) to car- ry of until the last of i1'faroh. !Further immediate .support .failing us the Committee are' faced with the necessity of closing the fund on Ap- ril 9th instead of April 31011 as 'plan- ned and this in face of 'the Ifa'ct that we have 'before us an additional ye - quest far help 'by a widowed mother. This is afrank statement of the situa- tia't and the committee hope that your immediate financial 'help may enable us to 'continue 'tire supply of milk to needy 'children until ,April 10 for .which the sum :of moo is neces- sary. ,Previo,usly, ,acknowledged. $11110.216 Thank you.
