It is a good plan to treat all seed with a mercury dust before sowing so as A moderate rich garden soil made up with sufficient sharp sand to insure good drainage is best for onion seed sown in flats, in greenâ€" houses or in hotbeds. Finely pulâ€" verized bone meal may be mixed with the soil, but if commercial fertilizer is used care must be taken not to use too much. The seed should be sown broadcast in the flats or beds at the rate of 12 seeds to each square inch, then covered with finely sifted soil oneâ€"eighth inch deep. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ For growing late onions seed may be planted in the garden in late April or early in May. _ _ There‘s a definite shortage of onion sets, popularly known‘ as Dutch sets, states the Dominion Department of Agriculture. These sets produce an éarlier crop of onions than can be grown from seed. However, there‘s an alternaâ€" tive to the situation says T. F. Ritchie, Division of Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm. This is to plant onion seeds in flats, in green houses or in hotbeds in March for setting out in the open‘ in May. _ _ . â€" bointed out by W. H. Wright, Chief, Laboratory Services, before seed can be sold as registered or certiâ€" fied, it must have been subjected to field inspection as well as a purity and germination test, and if up to a certain specified standard, it is tagged and sealed in accordance with the regulations prescribed by the Seeds Act.

Tough grain may result from unâ€" favourable harvesting conditions. Leaks, seepage, grain weed seeds, condensation, and lack of ventilaâ€" tion may cause dry sound grain to become tough in a few months. Tough grain favours the rapid growth and breeding of mites, inâ€" sects, moulds, and heating. These processes proceed even in the coldest weather because of the inâ€" sulation provided by the ‘grain. Transferring and cleaning grain in cold weather lowers the temperaâ€" ture of the grain, reduces pest acâ€" tivity, and prevents heating. _ _ In order to help Western farmers avoid losses in their farmâ€"stored grain the Division of Entomology, Science Service, Dominion Departâ€" ment of Agriculture, has distriâ€" buted a sheet of information on the subject. At the same time, a mimeographed circular has been sent to elevator operators, laboraâ€" tories, and other officials dealing with the storage of grain. _ _ This method of firowing onioné for an early crop has advantages and also disadvantages. The adâ€" vantages are that the seedling onion plants can be produced unâ€" der the best conditions for growth, set out in freshly prepared land with the plants well developed and beyond interference by weeds. While in the seedling stage, no tedious weeding or thinninglz:‘is required because the seedlilg; ve been set at the rroper istance apart and as a rule root maggots don‘t seem to do as much damage to the crop. Some of the disadvanâ€" tages are that the seedlings have to be grown indoors; extra handâ€" ling is required for planting and if the planting is not done at the proper time some loss may ‘result through immature bulbs and thick necks at harvest time.
