To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I do not lay so much stress upon the particular kind of soil as upon the preparation of the ground and the subsequent treatment of the crop. It is the general experience of onion growers, however, that a rich, sandy loam is to be preferred. Too much sand is not desirable, from the fact that such soil would lack the requisite strength; and clay or " sticky " land is to be avoided. Onions, to do their best, require a great deal of nourish- ment, and they should accordingly be planted on your rich...est, strongest-growing soil — ^provided it is not naturally wet land. In the extreme West onions are grown successfully on "Sage-brush" land. Nearly all of this is of a sandy nature, not BY IRRIGATIOJS^. 25 calculated to withstand drought, but producing fine crops where irrigated and properly fertilized. Land that is naturally moist, as, for instance, the edge of meadows, might grow a crop all right to start wdth, but the chances are that they would be late in maturing and that a large portion of them would run to "stiff-necks" or scallions.
