Goodwin trsvt is expected tn be the
first Of d larger systems under
concrete.
The McAllen d~istrict has Generated
l. miles of canal, and practically all
the West Brownsville system has
been placed under concrete. The
Mission, Mercedes and Il Jardin sys-
tens have also concerted a number
Of canals at points where D
losses were heavy.
The Pharr-San Juan-Aismo dis
trict. the largest in the Valley.
wrote a new chapter in Valley irri-
CATION history by voting a $4,000. 900
bond issue to put its entire system
under concrete, and plans have been
completed TO start the work as soon
as the bonds are sold. The Edinbnfg
district emulated the example OF its
neighbor and voted bonds in the
amunt Of 81, 100000 to concrete its
system. The La Feria district oon-
templates a bond election early In
the year for the same purpose, and
the districts serving the Mission and
S~haryland section also propose TO
concrete their entire systems.
While the past years have been
marked BY Inauguration Of numer-
Gus projects and construction of
some, 1929 will b. q year or real
achievement, is the prediction Of
Valley irrigation leaders. Irriga-
ton construction work on a more ex-
tensive scale than ever before ex-
perienced is expected to get under
way before spring. and before the
close of the rear thousands of acres
will be receiving the waters of the
Rio Grande and adding to the vol
ume OF Valley production.

of SO per cent over the crop OF 5l,-

OF the l92 crop by less than ? Per
