Valuable pointers on tomato growing shared at state convention
C D Jarrett of Dialville spoke at the joint annual meeting of the State Horticultural Society and the Texas Fruit and Truck Growers Association. He warned large scale tomato farming is less profitable than other crops and noted risks from diseases, weather, and market prices. He cited yields of 300 four crate baskets per acre in good years, but only 100 crates or 30 cents a crate when conditions fail. He praised family labor for medium scale farms and described proper trellis and care to prevent fruit damage. Ada plans a canning factory, boosting local interest in tomato farming prospects.
