Irrigation in Texas.

900 acres of irrigated land, of which
Is, 900 acres are planted in ordinary
crops and 225,OO0 acres in rice.
For years stock raising has been
the only industry of the arid and
semi-arid portions of the State. but
the homesteaders of the last decade
have cut up the great ranches into
small farms and created a demand
for water with which TO make their
crops grow. Cotton fields are push

Some Of the best results in the State

artesian wells near San Antonio
and in the Rio Crande country
from Corpus Christi to Brownsville.
About 200 good artesian wells have
been sunk in this neighborhood in
the last few wears. Water from ar
tesian wells is in high repute in
this locality for irrigation purposes.
Many Of the truck farms in
southern Texas are supplied from
wells, the water of which

ty. Over 500 such wells are in use.
