Facts
ABOUT CAMERON COUNTY

At the extreme sou,hern Zip
Of the great state of Tsxas lies
Cameron county, Itself a small
principaIity in extent. In area
il covers no less than 3,3OS
suuare miles. It's southern ex-
tremitv lies about the sixteenth
of a degree below the Goth. par
alel. while its northern latitude
Is about 27o 90. It's greatest
Yidth from east to VESTS some
thing ever forty miles and from
north to south 100 miles.
CLIMATE.
Though so near the trop 8
yet the climate of this county
ii comparatively cool in sum-
ner. It's entire eastern front
of about one hundred miles, be-
ing layed by the cool waters OF
the GuIf of Mexico, which great
Iy tenlpers the heat natural 10
southern ATTITUDES. The pre-
vaiiing wind throughout the
greater portion of the year is
from the Southeast aud comes
directly across the Gulf. The
winters are also extremely Mid,
and make this an ideal place
for any who seek escape from
the rigors of q northern winter.
Indeed, no place in the United
states enjoys a more sotubrIous
climate during the winter sea-
son that Brownsville, the coun-
~ seat of Cameron county
Here the average temperature
for thiFty-nine years was 70 de-
gress.
he land lies nearly level, the
altitude at Brownsville being
only AZ feet. Tue soil is rich
with the aIluvial deposits oil
endless years, and its treasures
of fertility are as yet almost
untouched only a limited por-
tion of its surface ever having
been disturbed by the pillow.
In many places the soil lies
from six to twenty feet deep,
being practically inexhaustible
and this of the finist and richest
soil known, ranging from a rich
dark allu7ial to a sandy loom
The county is watered by the
Rio Grande, which skirts lis
entire southern boundary, a
distance of seventy-five miles
Besides this there are numerous
small streams, called "resacas''
aud "arroyos," throughout the
county.
PRODUCTIONS.
The leading industry OF this
region at present is stock grow
ing, cattEr, horses aid sheep
constituting the le Id i n g
export product. But its
agricultural resources bave
been proven to be almost end
bass in variety. Its semilropi-
cal climate permits such fruits
as The orange, lemon, citFou
guaVa, fig and banana, to
flourish, while peaches pears
and other fruits ulso do we'll,
and grapes grow aud jieid in the
greatest abundance. The chief
products OF the soil, however,
are corn, cotton and sugar cane.
Besides these sorghum, broom
corn, and all varitiee of vegeta
