the feature was the very heavy rains
 which fell generally west of the river
 over Sunday and extended into Mis-
 sissippi Sunday night and the rains
 in north Texas, Oklahoma and Arr
 kansas were very heavy and were de-
 cidedly detrimental This had an inn
 mediate effect on our market. which
 opened sharply higher, the more espe-
 cially as it is feared that the rains
 may extend into the eastern belt in the next few days
 There was no marked increase in outside business, however, nor any easing in money so that under scat tered realizing a large portion of the advance was lost during the day, we should say in view of the weather the market made a disappointing
 showing. These rains, however, had pretty well convinced the trade that nothing but low condition figure
 can be hoped for from the government in it's June report A redeeming fea- ture of the weather was the fact that all west and southwest Texas has now ample moisture and probably the best prospect in the last several years. COoney' & Co.'s Letter

 During the past five years the compa- nies paid to the Government as excess profits and income taxes S677, ,686.24, all out of earnings. These taxes will not remain as high; in fact, it is estimated saving of $69,500 will be made this year.
 Earnings last year were S525,0O0 be- fore taxes; this year, based upon earn ings for first three months, will be near ly $800,000, and most conservative estimate after taxes shows earnings of between S450,000 and $500. .00O, or 30 per cent on the sales price cf the stock.

 These men are investing their funds in this common stock; not only are the officers, employees, buying the stock, but the wholesale and retail distribu- tors are buying these common shares. This proves confidence in the products, the management, the corporation and it's future. With the men and women who are directly interested and work ing together in the manufacture and marketing of the product as stockhold- CTS, the company will have the greatest organization for push, progress and prosperity that we know of.

SOM e ONIONS.

Manager Gumm, of the Benson
Lumber Company, is preparing to try
out an onion project, which, if sue
cessful, may prove one of the best
money producers possible for the vi
cinity of Benson. He has just re
ceived from Ysleta, Tex, small
shipment of plants known as the We
lintia onion, which for all round quail
tiles, ranks about the highest Of any
onion produced. It is of straw color,
and assumes the weight of two
pounds each. Planted in drills II
inches apart and eight inches in the
drill at maturity they become veri-
table mass of onions, practically hid
ing the ground. This is said to be-
one of the sweetest and most pala-
table onions grown, and has been
known to produce 1900 bushels per
acre, or $1,000 pounds which is cer-
tainly some onions.
Seed from this onion cannot be
purchased in the United States, It's
home being in Spain. Mr.. Gumm had
few plants last year, and with this
late small shipment, hopes, in time
to be able to spare enough seed to
get the industry started in the val
ley This yield, $1,000 pounds, at,
say two cents on the farm, means
$1340.00 per acre. At all events, if
the onion be found to thrive here, the
turning of $4,000 per acre, net,
should be no trick at all, and they
will keep for one year without cold
storage.
