A LARGE ACREAGE OF ONIONS

I Put Out This Season in About Newland and Giffortt. ; . ■ wy It is thought that a total acreage of nearly .700 acres will be put 'out in onions in thq vicinity o? [Newland '-and Gifford this year, [which is perhaps the largest acre-, [age ever sown there. Those now I planted are looking fine. The ground, has been’ in excellent condition for planting, and if we do not get excessive rains later it is probable that; a record-breaking crop will be raised this year in that locality. Charles Collins, the Chicago ice cream magnate, has out forty acres, and much of the other acreage is owned by Chicago parties.
