Call Meeting of the Cham-
her of Commerce Thurs-
day, Sept. 18
At the last regular meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce a
committee was appointed to call
upon the farmers of this vicinity
to ascertain from them the acre-
age they would agree to put into
tomatoes the coming year. This
committee has been very active
for the past week and quite a
number of farmers have been
interviewed. The sentiment is
good and practically all who
were not ready to state a definite
acreage said they would consider
the proposition and report Thurs-
day night. It is very important'
that the Chamber of Commerce i
know definitely how much acre-1
age can be counted upon that >
they may further their interests \
in this undertaking. Practicaliy
all of aur sandy land is suited to
“Early Tomato Production’’ and
we have a vast acreage that
could be used in this way. To as
sist the producers in the produc-
tion of tomatoes there will be an
evening School on “Tomato Pro-
duction” organized at this meet-
ing.
This school will consist of ten
or more lessons and will be held,
so as to suit the greatest number
of interested farmers. I will have
an out line to preseut to you at
this meeting at which time we
will decide upon the date of the
first meeting.
Come out to this meeting and
see to it that your neighbors
know about it. If you can bring
some one with you this service
will be much appreciated. Trust-
ing we may have an ample rep-
resentation of the interested and
progressive farmers of this com-
munity.

The question of whether tomato
raising it profitable was best an-
swered last week when Tom Illey
one of Gonzales County’s most
progressive farmers made a
comprehensive and interesting
report to County Agent J. M.
Saunders on the raising and
marketing 0116 acres of the
early spring crop. Mr. Iley made
a net profit of $1,097 on his 16
acre tract which figures a profit
of 68.56 per acre. The Iley tomato
crop was started in the hot bed
on January 5, and May 12 just
four months and 3even days
after the seed were planted, Mr.
Iley began gathering his green
tomatoes.
Tom Iley sold 40 truck loads of
tomatoes from his 16 acre patch
for which he received a total of
$2390.00, The report shows that
the actual cash outlay was only
$307.12. If Mr. Iley had figured
his profit as most farmers do, he
would have estimated a clear
profit of $207*2.88 on his 16 acres.
However a glance at the state-
ment charged below shows that
he even charged rent on the land
as well as figuring the labor of
himself and his family against
the gross sales. Following are
Mr. Iley’s figures on the crop.
