Thinning onions so that only 1 is left to 3 or 4 inches of ground is being abandoned by onion culturists, as medium-sized bulbs demand better prices in most city markets. Everything which can promote rapid growth is essential in onion culture. It is better to sow the seed too thick than too thin. A drill set to drop 3 or 3 seeds to each inch of a row answers the purpose best. "
