OUT IN WEST Brownsville yester-
day--that section Just outside the
city limits-thirty voters went to the
election booth and east exactly
thirty votes in favor Of si75.0O0 In
bonds to buy improve and extend
the old West Brownsville canal sys-
tern.
There is something more signifi-
cant in the whole thing than the
mere purchase of the system.
The plans are to make of this
$500 acre district a model irrigation
enterprise.
All canals wial be concreted. That
viii reduce water costs, prevent
seepage, save the lands from water
Iexking. etc.
!. Also, every water user will have a
meter.
n promises to be a really tight
little irrigation enterprise. and one
that will be watched with interest.
while mostly they are "dirt
farmers" out there. there Is lib
eral sprinkling Of siawyers, doctors
and other professional and business
men Of Brownsville who have or
chards and farms in the district.
Ell JARDIN FARMERS and land
owners are 20 enter an interesting
contest.
Several hundred dollars in prizes
are going 10 be- offered for the best
kent farms along some Of the roads
in the district.
Prizes have often been given for
pretty yards contests in the cities
and towns.
But seldom has any one heard Of
prizes For we'll kept farm lands.
Means that to contest success
fully. brush and other unsightly con
ditions aiong the roads must be got
ten rid Of.
Means tha. to make a farm really
pretty, there should be growing
crops.
OF course. the contest does not
contemplate that any one should 20
to extraordinary expense or invest
mcht 10 win n prize.
every farm that enters no doubt
win be listed "from scratch"
That will place all entries on a
par.
IA promises to be an interesting
event.
And there's no reason WHY il
shouldn't spread all over the Valley.
THE VALLEY AND its various
pxblic. private and corporate in
ferests are investing untold millions
of dollars in Improvements of va
rious kinds.

Valley. now "eashing in" on invest
ments made several years ago. be-
gins 10 realize on its present eN-
pcnditures.
More money is being put in. no
doubt, than is bsing taken out. but
isnt that also true Of any growiag =
business.
And the Valley may have its
xIun,ps from time 20 time, but il
atrensy has . record of quicker
@eomebaeks" than any other known
section.
