BERMUDA ONION
ACREAGE GROWS
LAREDO DISTRICT FARMERS PLAN
TO INCREASE ACREAGE THIS
PRODUCT COMING SEASON.

LAREDO, Texas, Oct. lG.-ThiS immc-
diate section of Texas is going to do its
part IN the food conservation propaganda
next spring and early summer and the in
dicaiions are that the heaviest crops Of
Bermuda onions ever harvested here will
be the result of the Weld from the crop
that J. now in its embryo growth in the
country for a number of miles each way
from Laredo IN the section contiguous TO
the Rio Grande. During last month hun
dred> of onion growers had the onion seed
>own in the seed beds specially prepared
and cultivated and susceptible la irriea-
tion and now in most al the seed beds the
terminating process j. either on or com
plcted and some of the tender Young shoots
are projecting above the ground. During
the month of December the work Of trans
planting the young plants from the seed
beds 10 the open field will be the second
stage in the onion growing industry.
Last year approximately 5000 acres was
planted IN onions in the section contiguous
to Laredo and known a. the Laredo see
tion.' but this year the indications are
that Mt least a thousand more acres will b.
devoted 10 the crop. Last season the total
shipments of onions ont of Laredo by spe-
cial trains aggregated 2.i70 carloads. while
enough more onions were shipped in smaller
quantities by express to aIl sections of the
United States and Canada 10 bring the to-
tai shipments for the season up 10 900
carloads. The gross receipts from last
seasons onion crop were placed NJ 81
0o0, GOO of which the sum Of about $3.50
600 was clear profit To the growers.
Present indications are that the acre
age 10 be- put IN onions when tran~plantinc
takes place in December will be from 500t
TO 1000 acres, which will mean that at least
5000 carloads of onions will be- harvested
and shipped from here during the season
beginning about the latter part of Marcf
and continuing until about June / next
year, and III the prices that are exported
for the crop materializc. it j. safe to pre-
diet that the gross receipts from the prod
net grown in the Laredo section will he in

for the next season are much more encour-

entertained that the output will exceed

The management of the San Luis estate
