MISSION
Hildago County, in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley,
of the Wonderful Gulf
Coast Country of Texas.
If you could como to Mission
NOW and wIUichh tho busy scenes
of tho annual cabbage harvest, you
could get Homo Idea of tho great
future of the wonderful Gulf Coast
Country of TexuB.
The HucceHHcH of last year arc- be
ing repeated again tblH year, only
In a larger ineaHiiro and by a larger
number of farmers. Planters are
confining themselves thin season
vory largely to carload shipments
by fast freight. Cabbage Is now
netting the plantors $.'!8 per ton
loaded on tho cars In bulk at Mis
sion. Tho average ylold is ton to
fifteen tons per acre. Somo will,
cut as high as twenty tons per
. acre.
The following ltom, taken from
tho San Antonio Dally Express, of
Sunday, February C, shows what It
means to bo ablo to market big
crops weeks ahead of other sections,

Citbbtigc 1h one of the big profit-makers at Mlnslon. Growers lire now receiving $38 per ion loaded 'bn cars.'.
Cabbage Will Yield Net Profit of $300 Per Acre
From San Antonio Dally Express: "As a result of tho jump In tho price
i of cabbago from $28 por ton to $38 por ton tho cabbage shipments from tho
Lower Hlo Grando'Valloy (in which tho La Lomita Lands are located) have
boon exceptionally heavy during tho last few days. At these prices there Is
a big margin of profit to tho producer. Tho profits por acre will average
around $300. On exceptional yields $400 to SG00 por acre profit Is not at
all unreasonable. Tho cabbago acreage for MISSION lands and other
tracts will aggregate 1,000 to 1,100 acres, which is equivalent to a not
profit at a very conservative yield of $300,000. From indications and re
ports It is generally thought that tho price of cabbage will reach $50 por
ton by April 1."
As tho cabbage is being cut, cantoloupes, snap beans, Irish potatoes, etc.,
are being planted, and when these are marketed in April and May, cotton,
corn, and other crops will follow on the' same ground.

Our planters aro growing Bermuda onions on a larger scale than over.
Tho Lower Rio Grande Bermuda not only comes Into market earlior than
any other, but possesses a bottor flavor and brings the top of the anarket
to tho grower.
Last year somo of our onion growers netted, over all costs of growing,
harvesting and marketing, an average of $250 per acre profit.

thon plant your land in cotton or corn. Figs, citrus fruits, granes and
ppcans aro bolus planted by tho hundred acres. Alfalfa, an- brapcs ana
