In the territory Immediately adjacent to
Laredo there were 1900 acres planted in
onions this season. The crop Is now being
harvested. II will bring a net return Of
nearly one million dollars.
The yield TO the aero rims es high as
22,OO0 pounds Of onions. or little more
than one carload Some farmers bve
netted as much as 500 an acre. A return
Of 500 or $500 an acre is common.
An onion farmer In Texas has an ideal
calling. All the labor Of seeding, trans
planting, cultivating and harvesting the
crop lie performed by Me1icans The work
does not begin until the latter part Of Sep
tember when the weather Ia beginning to
get cooler. The. onions grow during the
winter and by the early part Of April they
are ready TO begin harvesting
Onions require large amount Of water
and they can be grown here only by means
Of irrigation. During the first sixty days
they must be watered every day, and after
that one watering q week must be given
them. The harvest is finished by the time
the heat Of summer begins
The Laredo onion farmers enjoy life
during the three or four months that their
land IL idle. Many of them visit the sum
mer resorts Of the North and Fast, where
they escape the torrid heat Of a Texas
summer.
Laredo is one Of the few towns in the
United States which felt no effect Of the
recent financial disturbance. The banks
are overhowing with money derived from
the onion crop; the merchants are pros
porous and the laborers are in better shape
financially than ever before In the history
OF the town.
The pioneer onion grower is 7. c. Sye,
He began experimenting in growing onions
about ten years ago. Other men followed
him and In 1900 about fifty acres we're
planted In onions In the vicinity Of Laredo.
There has been steady increase Of acreage
ever since.

eighteen acres Of onions last year.
I'VE will now take that bridal trip which
! was too poor 10 give you when we were
frat married. Mr.. Woodrnan told his wife
when he had sold his onion crop and had the
money In bank.
Mrs. Woodman is a member Of the Mar
ricd Ladies' Club Of Laredo, and when her
friends heard Of the bridal trip they pre-
pared 70 give her and Mr. Woodman send
oh. All Of the members OF the club were at
the station with bags Of rice and sacks Of
onions, and when the couple boarded the
train they we're Showered with rice and
pelted with onions.
Their seats in the sleeping cGr were
banked with rice and their baggage was
decorated with ribbons and cupid detigns.
The couple we're made 10 feel that they had
lost nothing in the way Of demonstrations
Of affection on the part Of their friends by
waiting nineteen years to 60 on their we'd

The Consul General was asked recently
by American publishers about the chances
Of Spanish editions Of everything in the

brought him to the conclusion that there
wouldn't be much outlook for profit, be-

OFFICIAL HAS
VIEWS ON BASEBALL

Secretary of state Benson is not
very we'll pleased with the work of
the Portland baseball team in San
Frahcisco, in accordance with a let
ter received from his in that city.
He states they are very bad, in so
many words, but that there is hope
of Improvement. The letter reads.
In part, as follows:
II am not proud of the Portland
bunch, although they are a good
club, but Il seems like fate was
against them. If It we're a horse
race II would be cinch they were
"chucking It," The bunch we're a
hundred per cent better than last
year, yet they don't win games. The
weakest point is with their pitchers
and a general weakness of going to
sleep after getting to first. think
Bob Groom and the Indian (Sln-
nanceD are probably the best pitch
ers.
Il wo1ld be surprised, although
] wouldn't put any money on it, to
see Portland strike a winning gait
at any time. There is one thing
sure-they are great batters. Prob
ably before many more games, they
will fird themselves. I would feel
more confident, however, II McCre-
die would discharge himself at
right field"
Benson, in his letter, did not seem
over well pleased with Bloomfield or
Whalen.
