Organizing Northeast Texas farmers for fruit and truck promotion
W M Porter of Mineola leads an effort to form a regional agricultural association to advance fruit and truck growing. He offers seed for demonstration at no cost unless a crop is successful, aiming to boost diversified and intensified farming across the region. Col Smythe of Plainview touts grape culture with twenty varieties and high yields, while N Y Seymour of Premont promotes sub irrigation for an 18 acre orange grove in Texas citrus country. Sub irrigation claims moisture retention and potential for intensified farming, a budding practice in Texas two years old with early positive reports from neighboring states. The irrigation topic stands as a key issue for Texas farmers seeking rainfall substitutes and broader agricultural prosperity.
