HARLINGEN DISTRICT
LOWERS WATER RATES

HARLNGEN, Texas, Nov. IL
Directors Of Harlingen irrigation dis
trict met Wednesday and made up
their budget for 1922 at S15O,000
a. against $24O.0OO for 1921.
This is due TO their having got
ten the canals, locks, levecs, pump
ing plant, etc, in splendid condition
requiring a much smaller expendi-
ture for the coming year.
The 1921 "flat rate" was $3.50
per acre, and the crop rent $3.50
per acre for each irrigation.
The 1922 flat rate" is $3.50 per
acre, a reduction Of $2, and the
crop rent SIPS per acre for each
irrigation. or 80 per cent lower
than in 1921.
This will kave far-reaching ef-
feet, as il means a material reduc-
tion in the cost Of producing the
niany staple and truck crops grown
in this district. which comprises
some 10000 acres Of cultivated land.
and will be an incentive To increase
the acreage Of truck and citrus
fruit. for which this section j. be-
coming famous.
