Jasper County Democrat, Volume 16, Number 89, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 February 1914 — Nets $3,000 From Ten Acres of Onions. [ARTICLE]

Nets $3,000 From Ten Acres of Onions.

B. Forsythe sold the last of his onion crop this week. He had out ten ac'res last season and the crop brought him in $4,000 gross, a little over $2,0 00 net, more by considerable than all the rest of the 200 acres of his farm netted him.

He also had out several thousand cabbage, but the dry season and worms ruined them, although he, broke a little better than even on the cabbage. Mr. Forsythe has about 25 acres of muck land on his farm, just northwest of town, and it was on a part of this that he raised the onions and cabbage, the latter being planted in where the onions did not come up good. He values this 25 acres about as highly "as all the rest i? of his farm, and, as shown above, ten acres of it last season brought him in more money by far than did all the remainder of the farm.
