SOUTH TEXAS THE GAEDEN. 



The South Texas Truck Growers' As- 

 sociation, which does the marketing for 

 the Bermuda onion growers of the Mis- 

 sion section as well as for those of the 

 other parts of south Texas, has issued 

 a report showing that last season the 

 acreage of that product in the neighbor- 

 hood of Mission was 135 acres, which 

 yielded 61,985 crates. The crop on the 

 135 acres netted the growers a total of 

 $73,560.41, or a little more than $541 

 per acre. On practically all of this 

 135 acres on which onions were grown, 

 one or two additional crops of other 

 *inds were harvested during the year, 

 thus, according to the association man- 

 agement, bringing up the net revenue 

 from the land to more than $650 per 

 acre per annum. It is claimed that this 

 record is not exceeded in any agricul- 

 tural district in the United States.

manure, on the other hand, is a warm 

 manure, fermenting rapidly and giving 

 a high temperature, which is injurious to 

 plant growth. 



Sheep manure is used in a dry state 

 and is somewhat stronger than cow 

 manure. It also heats on fermenting and 

 80 caution should be observed in its use. 

 It should, then, be used in much smaller 

 quantities than decayed manures. 



Hen manure is a highly nitrogenous 

 manure and should be used in extremely 

 small quantities. 



Cattle manure is now put upon the 

 market in a dry form and is much used 

 for mulching purposes. It should be kept
