Not many years ago it was not UNI
common to have one point to this
millionaire and that and say, HE
made his money in OIL" Up in Texas
they are developing men along the
Rio Grande who may in short time
be referred to as onion millionaires. y
So great has been the success of
the men who have been growing on
ions along the boundary line that
experts declare that Bermuda onion
produced there is really superior to
the Bermuda onion produced in it's
native soil
Last summer the agent of the South
Texas Truck Growers Association
visited the Bermuda Islands and the
Canary Islands and secured a big
consignment of seed. These seed have
produced this years onion crop in
Texas, of a greater size and of a
fine quality. Whereas, it was former
ly estimated that the Bermuda grow
ers shipped 100000 crates of onions
to the United States annually, it
is now estimated that their ship
ments this year amounted to about
$50, 900 crates.
