BIG IRRIGATION
SYSTEM PLANNED

San Antonio, Tex, July 22-(Special.)
truck and general farming in south
west Texas by the building of one OF
the biggest irrigation systems in the
United States. What the Assuan dam
is to Egypt the Rio Grande valley re-
servoir will be to southwest Texas.
The undertaking is financed by the
Rio Grande Valley Reservoir and Irri-
cation company. A natural depression
near Hidalgo, the seat of the county
of that name. will form the reservoir.
At least 5000 acres will be covered by
the water and 1,900,000.000 cubic feet,
or $4,000 acre-feet, of water will be
stored up. over $4,000 acres of sur
rounding land will thus be rendered
Independent of the rainfall and many
a family will find happy home there.
While the work looks too stupendous
to be undertaken by private individuals
1t Is less SO when the ground is ex-
amined On the north side of tn
proposed reservoir there are high
banks of the former bed of the Rio
Grande, and toward the south, where
a dam will retain the water, there is
a gradual slope upward causing at
present the accumulation of great
deal of water in the forms of little
lakes and resacas.
Much of the land near the reservoir
is already cleared and ready for Gull
tivation. The soil is claimed to be in
exh austibly rich and the ever-present
water supply should make this one of
the garden spots of the United States.
