VENTAJAS DEL RIEGO EN- LA
PARTE SUD DE LA ISLA.
(LefIo ea los Ejereiefos dc gradaaei6n

Debido a las grandes secas
que sufre la parte sud de la lsla,
un gran proyecto para el riego
de ella sc esta llevando d cabo
desde hace tempo. Bien sabe
mos la causa por que no llueve
tan a menudo en- estas tierras
meridionales, y en- cambio. casi
toda la lluvia Cae en- la parte
norte.
La serie de montanas que cru.
zan la isla de este a oeste impi-
de que las nubes pasen hacia Ell
sud. asi es que toda la lluvia va
a fertilizar las plantaciones sep.
tentrionales, y por esta gran
razon siempre hemos sufrido
largas sequias.
Son los ira bajos de regadio
una de las obras mas ventajosas
para ell bien de los habitantes
de IN pals. Los agricultores y
duenos de propiedades cuando
utilizan las aguas del riego para
sus productos agricolas, no tie
men que desesperarse tanto CO.

en- tiempos de SEGA esperanto
que venga la lluvia a proveer
de aiinento a tantas plantacio
