NEARLY 1000 CARS Of ONIONS SHIPPED
This Season From Laredo and Browns.
Vile Points, and Over 4 Million
and a Half Profits From Crop.

San Antonio, Textile onion crop
has been cleaned up. Nearly 1900
cars were shipped and the growers
realized over a million and a half
dollars in profits. The total ship
ments broke all previous records. Not
only was the production at Laredo in
creased, but large number Of cars
came from the Brownsville country.
The indications are for even a larger
acreage next year If seed can be Sc
cured.
The reports are to the effect that
the Canary Island seed crop is very
short and it may be impossible for
sufficient to be supplied to meet the
demand in Texas. The Canary Islands
is the only source OF seed supply.
Storms and wet weather reduced the
crop of seed there more than one-half.
Replacing the onion shipments have
been large shipments Of cantaloupes
and watermelons. Cantaloupes have
become SO cheap and plentiful as to
be a drug on the market and many
farmers are giving them away for the
picking or feeding them to the hogs.
There is still a good demand for
watermelons, but the crop has been
very large and melons are very cheap.
Large ones are being sold on the
streets here for cents each. In some
places these melons are also being
given away to have them hauled from
the fields.
The sorghum crop is being harvest
ed now and the yield will be very
large. Hay will be cheaper here than
for several years past.
