San Antonio, TeX.-EStimates maze
nv those connected with the 1nterna-

dictate the onion crop along that line
will be between 1900 and 3,ooo cars.
This includes the onions which VIII
be delivered to the line from the ASH
erton and Gulf, the Artesian Belt anu
the Crystal City and UYaide hheS'
This will be slightly larger crop
than last year.
There will come from MISSION
brownsville and other sections Oh the
Lower Rio Grande Valley propaply
900 to 1900 cars. 1t is stated thaC
= conservative estimate OF the total
Texas onion crop would place the lls
ures at 1000 cars.
# the onions net an average OF Sooo
a car this would bring the Texas grow
ers a total profit Of something IKE
50 600 900 for the season. The gross
returns will run something IKE
$3,225,O 900. ;,
{ The price being paid now IS SAID
, n he satisfactory to the growers
; Those who have already disposed OF
their onions have realized on an aver
s age as great a price as any time since
e the onion industry became an lmpor
a tant one.
n Tn addition to the onions, caopag'
l. has been moving by the carload 10
o several weeks. The price Tor sthl
r. vegetable is low, owing to the late
is ness of the crop and competition tror
