says that where growers can buy
good plants at S. per 1000, 1t may
be much cheaper to buy than to
raise them, when the grower has
had no experience in hot bed meth
DDS.
| send YOU this circular 10 state
that Mr.. McDuif Simpson, an ex-
perienced gardener, has agreed, if
he can make contracts 10 sell 100,
600 plants or over, to raise them
at that price-delivered at his hot
house; and I wish 10 suggest that
the Association take him mp at the
proposition. 5000 plants is the
estimated number to plant an acre,
planted SKI feet. Thus plants for
an acre will cost about SIS. And
growing the plants through the
winter months in hot beds is the
principal cost of tomato culture, 50
that If YOU accept the proposition
and contract with Mr.. Simpson for
the plants, your principal work OF
the tomato crop is over. To plant
out and cultivate them from that
time on is easy and simple, and
will prove very profitable.
If one man grows the plants,
they will all be ready to ship at the
same time. If the members under
take TO raise their own plants, some
will grow them and some will fail
some will get them started at one
time and some at another, and the
crop cannot be marketed all AZ one
time. as il must be 20 make the
money out of them that should be
made. This plan will be less eX-
pensive than buying lumber and
building hot beds, and doing the
great amount Of labor necessary to
get good plants.
100, 900 plants will plant out
about 20 acres. If YOU want plants,
come 10 the next meeting of the
Association, November ? prepared
TO contract with Mr.. Simpson for
your plants, and LEI him begin TO
get ready for the work. He will
have lots Of It to do 70 produce
that many, and we should put him
at IT, Very respectfully,

TO THE TRUCK GROWERS.

To the Members Of the Brazos
County Truck Growers Associa-
ton:
The object of this Association is
10 adopt diversifcation Of crops,
and TO do that in such a way as 70
make as much money as possible
by the change. Onions and toma-
toes are the two greatest money
crops we can raise. These two
crops have been paying growers IN
Texas three times as much per
acre as any other crops grown.
Onions and tomatoes have made
the big money for the truckers
from $50 10 500 per acre being
the profits from the tomato crop
gathered this year
This association has made a very
good start with the onion crop.
About IS pounds Of seed have been
ordered-enough TO plant. by trans
planting method, about so acres,
which should produce, with proper
cultivation, at least $50, 900 pounds
OF onions, or y car loads.
Now the next thing is tomatoes.
Prof Price told us at our last
meeting that tomatoes, if grown at
the large profits realized by the
East Texas growers, must be start
cd in hot beds, and transplanted,
so as TO get them early. He also
told us that the truck growers
about Nacogdoches had contracted
with a practical gardener TO grow
their plants for them-enough to
plant 800 acres, ooo, 900 plants.
They are to pay this gardener $
per 1000 plants for them, named
varieties, good strong plants.
We will have to do the same
thing if we make a success Of the
tomato crop this coming wear. Our
