How Mrs. {. C. Dodd of Laredo,
Tex, Is Growing Rich.
Gross Average Return Was $625 an
Acre on 1876 Acres Cultivated
Modern Methods That Bring
Astonishing Results.

Laredo, Tex.-What do you think
of net profit of $500 an acre from
Bermuda onions? This is the record
of Mrs. Edwarts G. 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 it.
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 a fig
ure that is astonishing to the ordinary
farmer who is content with profit
of SIS to 500 an acre upon his land.
The average net yield which Mrs
Dood obtained upon her 135 acres
was about $500 an acre. The gross
revenue from the farm was about S625
an acre. Growing onions is expensive.
1t cost an average of about $225 an
acre to plant, cultivate, harvest and
market the crop.
Mrs. Dodd is not a 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 500 acres, but only zoo
acres are under irrigation In begin

what to do, because the possibilities
of the business had been proved by
others. Being a widow with only the
land to depend upon. she determined
to make it profitable, and she did. a

First Mrs. Dodd enlarged the ir

she planted in Bermuda onions. That
was three years ago. Conditions were
favorable, and despite the many diff.

marketed the onion crop upon the 20

she built an electric pumping station
and put in a pump with capacity OF
