CABBAGE HARVEST SCENE ON THE IiA IiOMITA IiANDS
Cabbage la one of the big proilt-niulccrs at Mission. G rowers nrc now receiving $38 per ton loaded on cars.
Cabbage Will Yield Net Profit of $300 Per Acre
From San Antonio Dally Express: "Aa a result of tho jump In tho prlco
of cabbago from $28 por ton to $38 por ton tho cabbage shipments from tho
Lower Rio Grande Valley (In which tho La Lomita Lands aro located) have
boon oxcoptlonally heavy during tho last fow days. At theso prices there Is
a big margin of profit to tho producer. Tho profits por aero will average
around $300. On oxcoptlonal ylolds $100 to 5500 per acre profit Is not at
all unreasonable Tho cabbago acrcago for MISSION lands and other
tracts 'will aggregate 1,000 to 1,100 acres, -which is equivalent to a net
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 per'
ton by April 1."
As the cabbago Is being cut, canteloupes, snap beans, Irish potatoes, etc.,
are being planted, and when theso aro marketed In April andMay, cotton,
corn, and other crops will follow on the same ground. "

harvesting and marketing, an avorago of $250 per aero profit.
