ONION INDUSTRY IN TEXAS IS
ASSUMING GREATER PROPOR-
TONS THAN EVER BEFORE

ditions, and the many factors that
affect the marketing Of onions will
be reported TO the growers daily
Financial success in producing
and marketing Bermuda onions IS
possible only when the economic
relation between the northern grown
winter storage crop and the perish
able Bermuda crop is taken into
consideration, say Federal marketing
experts. The Texas crop is mar
keted in period Of two months,
and the highest type Of marketing
efficiency is required. There may
be large earry-over OF northern
grown storage onions; the markets
for the Bermuda crop are long
distance from producing points with
consequent high costs for transpor-
tation: bad weather may quickly
impair the quality Of the stock, the
crop may be larger than the coun-
try can consume; and toward the
end of the season there IS competl-
ton from other early producing
States
The results Of years Of study of
the scientific production and mar
kcting of onions Is available 10 the
growers. and producers and ship
pers are unanimous IN stating that
the departments service has been
Of great value 90 them. Federal
market reporters located in large
consuming markets, such as 81.
Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Chi
cage, Pit,sburg, Philadelphia, New
York and Boston, report daily Go
the Laredo office local market con-
ditions. such as supply, demand, aud
prices. The Department also mas
cooperative arrangements with The
various railroads whereby the ship
pers are informed of daily cariot
shipments Of onions everywhere in
the United States.
For marketing purposes the Tex
as onion-producing section Is divided
into three districts. The Laredo dis
trict. consisting Of Webb County;
the upper counties, comprising DIM
init. FRO, La Sale, and Lavaila
Countess. and the Gulf Coast dis
trist, embracing the territory con-
tiguous 20 the ST. Louis, Brownyille
q Mexico and the San Antonio a
Arkansas Pass Railroads. The upper
counties usually furnish fully 90
per cent Of the shipments, the re-
naming districts 25 per cent each.
shipments are made 10 every
State IN the Union east Of the Rocky
Mountains, the principal markets
being New York, Pennsylvania, Hi
nois, Missouri, Ohio. and Massa-
chusetts. New York alone has taken
in the past as much as 20 per cent
Of the entire carlot movement. La
redo is the shipping center for APP
proximately one-thrd Of the onions
from the entire section, and head
quarters u practically all buyers
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1922-03-21

and operators are there located.
Nearly all growers market their on
ions in CARROTS. most Of the sales
being made on cash track basis.
Onion operators finance the smaller
growers, advancing $50 70 SIS per
acre on the crop. For this assistance
the grower gives the operator the
refusal Of the sale Of the onions,
and a selling commission Of IL per
cent should the operator undertake
the business.
The majority OF the growers OBJ
tain their seed from the Canary Is
lands; large quantities of seed are
also obtained from California. The
seed are planted by drill between
August Is and September 20, and
the plants remain in the seed bed
60 TO 20 days before transplanting
to the field. Great care is exercised
in transplanting. The ground is
plowed, thoroughly disked and har-
rowed. the roots and tops of the
plants are carefully trimmed, and
only well-rooted plants are select
ed. In caring for the crop Il is
essential TO keep the soil moist, and
TO avoid, by frequent shallow culti-
vations, cracking or baking Harry
esting begins around April / in
Webb County and continues TO
about May IS The harvest season
IN the upper counties Is . to 10
DAVIS later. Practically the entire
crop is grown under irrigation from
The Rio Grande In Webb County;
from artesian wells and the Ncueces
River in the upper counties.

There is great activity IN the Tex
As onion fields these days in prep
aration FOR the rapidly approaching
marketing season. The commercial
acreage planted to Bermuda onions
is estimated by the United States
Department Of Agriculture at IL
III acres, and It il forecast that
1i,522 acres will be harvested. This
compares with l0,503 acres harry
