DEVELOP new
CITRUS FRUIT
Limequat Produced by
Crossing Lime and
Kumquat

A new citrus drink for the nation
will soon ~ supplied by the citrus
growers Of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, according to several nursery
men who have been experimenting
with the %limequat. a hybrid fruit
produced by crossing the lime and
kumquat, both Of which produce
profically in the Valley.
The new fruit was developed by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture plant breeders, and was
secured by crossing the kumquat, a
Chinese citrus, with the West Indian
lime. Its chief feature is that IL can
be grown IN may sections where the
West Indian lime, which is distinctly
a tropical fruit, cannot be produced.
II also has 3 better flavor than the
lime, being less acid and more re-
freshing, experimenters assert, and
they predict that il will eventually
become PopuIarized and grown ex-
tensively throughout the entire Rio
Grande Valley.
The Unequal Is strikingly beauti-
full N appearance, resembling the
lime In size and texture, but with q
light yellow color like that Of the
grapefruit. IL is thin skinned but
firm and very juicy, has few seeds,
and the flavor, except when dead
ripe, can scarcely be distinguished
even by an expert from that OF the
true lime 1t Is more or less ever

the other hand. il frequently severe

would be uneconomical to use pipe
syphons.
The only canals that will not be
concrete lined will b. located On tie
extreme outer edges of the system
and will be confined to canals that
carry only one head OF water and
are located on ground providing a
heavy slope which will prevent seen-
age losses. The lining OF these
canals, the engineers state. would be
no more necessary than lining dis
tributors on the farm unit.
Another feature OF the district will
be y complete telephone system
which is deemed essential for con-
Meeting up all the pumping plants
for the purpose OF assisting in the
control Of water. This system will
follow the main canals. and will be
developed into a general district
system.
Highly Efficient System
Every effort is being made by the
district TO construct an irrigation
system which will have no peer In
point Of efficiency and the high pro-
ducing soil qualities OF the area IL
will serve, officials OF the district
state. While the water life Is high
er than In other districts. they point
out that the duty Of water will be
50 increased BY the high type Of
construction that the actual cost Of
operation viii be less than in many
OF the existing districts.
There will be absolutely nc waste
Of water in this district" Gregg
Wood OF Mission, chairman Of the
board Of directors stated. "Prac-
tically every drop Of water pumped
will be put 10 beneficial use. The
soil is the finest type. capable Of
producing the finest citrus fruit in
the world as well as al classes OF
crops produced anywhere in the VAL
ley. and we realize that 20 develop
this area we must have an irrigation
system Of the highest efficiency
Excellent progress has been made
and the district is confident that
il will have its pumping plants in
operation and water flowing onto
the land in the minimum of time"

The irrigation system that will be

plans having been compiled by Card
q Parks, McAllen engineers, after an
exhaustive study Of the Valley irri-
cation systems and a number Of the
systems on the west coast.
Due to the fact that practically
