It was especially unfortunate for those grow- ers who planted less than the prescribed quantity of seed to the acre, as many are doing nowadays, some as little as forty-five to fifty pounds. After the big onions are screened out there are some remarkably fine sets left; on the other hand, there are some lots that show much dry rot. The marketable quantity by planting time may be much reduced. "The production of onion sets is on the increase at Chicago; at Louisville it is about stationary, but at Chilli- cothe it is on the decrease.
