HOW TO MAKE A LETTER SHORT,
YET STRONG. @

There Is q wide impression on the
part OF business men that letters must
be very short II they are to be read
instead of thrown In the wastebasket;
and as a consequence they are often
made SO short that the reader does
not know what they are about. and
the important points that should be
impressed on his mind are not made
at all. The short letter may be read
more widely, but still 1t may convince
fewer in the end than q long letter
that is read by only a very few, but
really convinces them.
The secret Of making letter short,
yet strong, lies in selecting repre-
sentative polnts-one point that will
give the effect Of half q dozen. 1t Is
matter Of judgment as to what will
have most effect, what is really typi-
cal and representative Of the case.
The man who knows his business thor
oughly has. mass of facts from
which he must select. He should take
those which are simplest, most direct,
and most closely related to the or
binary habit of thought Of the person
who is to read the letter or adver'
tisement.
For example, a man came into my
office the other day with baking pow
der which he wished to make com
pete in his own immediate vicinity
with a well-known brand. asked
him IL he had any unique features In
tile manufacture which he thought
made his powder better than the
other. He mentioned half dozen
minor technical points in the manufac
ture, and finally said: "Of course we
deliver baking powder fresh every
day, while the other is made siz
months in advance" We immediate
~ recognized a simple point which
every one would see, and which would
be sufficient as far as manufacture
was concerned. More would be accom-
plished by emphasizing this point
strongly and letting the others go thar
trying to cover all. Stating one typi
cal point and then referring briefly
10 scores of Others" is the right way
to produce conviction. But the one
point must be a good one. Some
times two, three, or even four points
may be stated. In general, there
should be one point for each feature
Or phase of the case.

the Rio Grande by means Of steam
pump.
First Mrs. Dodd enlarged the IT.
rigable tract to 10 acres, all Of which
she planted in Bermuda onions. That
was three years ago. Conditions were
favorable, and despite the many ditti'
culties that had to be overcome, she
marketed the onion crop upon the 20
acres at a net profit Of $4,000. Then
she built an electric pumping station
and put in o pump with a capacity OF
$500 gallons a minute. Beside the
1856 acres Of onions Mrs, Dodd this
season had about 65 acres in grain,
feed and a variety of products. Be-
sides furnishing water for this 200
acres of her own, her electric pump
ing plant and system of irrigation pro-
vided water for so additional acres,
which are owned by other persons,
good revenue being received for this
extra service.
Mrs. Dodd has been doing the mar
keting Of her crops through an associ-
alton Of growers, but she is not alto
gether satisfied with this plan, 1t is
her opinion, after a thorough investf
cation Of, the subject that she could
do her own marketing to better adj
vantage than through the statesmen OF
the association. She says that the
commission and other association
charges during the past season
amounted to ten cents crate Of so
mounds. Her expenses from this one
item alone ran up to more than
$4,000.
The fact that she makes an annual
profit on her farm much larger than
the salary Of most bank presidents
has not caused Mrs. Dodd to adopt ex.
trayaEant living. She has pretty
home in town. It Is comfortably but
not luxuriously furnished. She finds
fine outside Of her farm work to get
much enjoyment out Of social pleas
urea. She has been a social favorito
An Laredo, San Antonio and other
Texas cities for many years. The
onion-growing season is during the
winter and cooler periods Of fan and
snriug. This leaves the warmest

IS ONION QUEEN
How Mrs. E. C. DOdd Of Laredo,
Tex, Is Growing Rich.
Gross Average Return Was $s2S an
Acre on 1856 Acres Cultivated
Modern Methods That Bring
Astonishing Results.

Laredo, Tex.-What do you think
of q net profit of $500 an acre from
Bermuda onions? This is the record
of Mrs. Edwarts c. Dodd of Laredo.
whom the people Of this section call
the Onion Queen" She grows more
Bermuda onions than any woman In
the world-135 acres-and is getting
rich at 1t.
Mrs. Dodd's crop this year was not
extraordinary. Most of the other
onion growers In the Laredo section
did as well, but none of them had In
as much acreage as she had. This
fact brought her profits up to q tig-
ure that is astonishing to the ordinary
farmer who is content with pront
Of SIS to $40 an acre upon his land.
The average net yield which Mrs.
Dood obtained upon her 1876 acres
was about $500 an acre. The gross
revenue from the farm was about $625
an acre. Growing onions is expensive.
It cost an average Of about $225 an
acre to plant, cultivate, harvest and
market the crop.
Mrs. Dodd is not q book farmer"
She directs the multitudinous affairs
of her place in person. She has ca
pable men who look after the details,
and every part of the business re-
ceives her closest supervision. Her
farm embraces 600 acres, but only 200
acres are under irrigation. In begin
ming onion growing she knew exactly
what to do, because the possibilities
Of the business had been proved by
others. Being widow with only the
land to depend upon, she determined
to make it profitable. and she did. A
small part of the land was under irri'

The essential thought should be the

The old arguments should be put In
