B. Forsythe Has Mammoth Crop of Onions and Cabbage.

B. Forsythe called at The Republican office with a yellow globe onion that measured 12 inches in circumference and weighed just one pound. It is a "fair sample of a 19acre patch raised by William Whited on the Forsythe farm, 2Vs miles northwest of town . Ed Oliver, who saw the onions, estimates that they Will produce 750 bushels to the acre. Mr. Forsythe also has out 21,000 head of cabbage, which have done only fairly well, owing to worm troubles. The onions and cabbage will be stored in his fine new storage plant in Rensselaer and will be sold when the price looks attractive.
