,San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 13.
The annual meeting of the South
ern Texas Truck- Grower', Asso
ciation just held in this city,
brought out reports which show
that the truck industry has grown to
splendid proportions in this section
and is in a most flourishing condi
tion. The crop for 1907 brought to
association members $647, 271. 3S,
an increase over 1906 of over 71
per cent.
These figures do not include
onions shipped by growers not
members of the Association, nor
thoie consumed here at home. At
a conservative estimate Southwest
Texas produced this past year over
a million dollars' worth of onions
Tdiese onions are known as the
Texas Bermuda, and are large
peariyand juicy without the rank
odor or flav'o" of the ordinary
onion. This, coupied,wh "the fact

The chairman was directed also
to summon officials of firms manu

splendid returns to the grower.
Thcaverage yield to members of
the Association was $130 an acre,
though some made as high as $300
and- $400 .per acre. The onions
were shipped from Maiueto Oregon,
the. Association sending out .742
cars, and the independent growers
bringing the amount up oyer a
thousand cars.
There were about 5000 acres in
onions in this section last year,
and this year will show an increase.
The largest single shipper was Wrn
Green of San Marcos, who sent out
eighty-eight car-loads of onions.
Ten thousand people are directly
employed in the onion industry
near here, and at least fifty thou
sand people are supported by it.
It is the most important and profit
able single trucking indntry of
this state.

According to tbelatestsstatement
of R. L. Stell, the peanut trill pro-j
moter, made in conversation with j
a Herald reporter Saturday, not
over one thousand acres have, been
pledged to peanuts in this entire:
valley, from Brownsville to Uauo
Graude, and consequently none of
the towns in this section that have
aspired ,to,a peanut mill will ob
tain the boon. Mr. Stell -says,
however, that he will build a mill
at Laguna Vista, this year, al-
tuougu tne required acreage has;
not been obtained in that
either. It was stated th
raoudville would get a mill, but
Mr. Stell says not.
