WATER POWER o

To The Herald:
III. q. StIllwell. Jr., in a recen is
sue Of The Herald, quotes what pur-
ports to be a report of ~ Valley
legal committee of irrigation inter
ests to the effect that the Maverick
county irrigation district had filed
upon 1.5c0 second feet of the flow
Of the Rio Grande for power develop
ment. and then sold these rights to
the Central Light and Power 20.
This committee seems 10 take the
position that since this water is to
he returned to the river that X does
not affect irrigation interests and
therefore il does not concern them.
The Associated Irrigation Districts
recently went on record as favoring
the fullest possible development Of
the waters of the Rio Grande to the
end that its fullest could
be put % the best possible use.
This n a broad and c~ommerdable
attitude. Power development j. one
Of the uses "a which this water can

very similar but more fertile than
tho famous grape lands 81 Cham
payne. France. The red lands oc-
cuny the highest point in the dis
trict. and ii is understood that rrac-
tically the entire area will be plant
cd to grapes. Several experiments
are now underway TO determine the
best varieties. and heavy paintings
are expected 20 get underway next
season.
No Drainage Troblcm
One fact which impressed Valley
residents who arc familiar with ir-
rigation problems, was the fact that
with the exception II a few low
spots practically no drainage will be
required. The concerted canals will
prevent secpage, and surface waters
drain rapidly from the rolling lands,
a feature which the promoters con-
tend will enhance their value for
fruit culture. Experiments will be
made 70 determine If the low swales,
IF which there are a few on the
tract which have no %-utlet, cannot be
drained by means IF wells penetrat-
inE to the sand strata.
Relative 70 irrigation costs. the
fact was pointed out that the sys.
tom Of the district under concrete
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-12-16

will be approximately 80 per cent
efficient, as compared with the aver
age 35 per cent efficiency under
dirt canals. In other words, 30 of
every 100 gallons pumped will be
applied to beneficial use, wastage
and pumping costs being reduced 10
the minimum. IL il estimated that
the actual cost OF delivering water
will average approximately Si.00 per
irrigation Of five inches, a cost
which will permit the district TO es-
tablish a rate that will compare very
f~avorably with those of other dis
tricts.
The cost OF irrigation Of these
high lands would be prohibitive un-
der any other system" Il. NJ. Card,
consulting engineer Of the district
said. "Ne have sought to eliminate
Nil waste. to reduce pumping costs
to the minimum. Practically all
water diverted from the Rio Grande
will be applied to beneficial use.
The cost of irrigation under the av-
erage dirt canal system would have
prevented development of this acre
age"
DeNeloplng kaptdiy
The first unit Of 2.i7g acres in the
southwest part OF the tract. is ready
to be placed on the market, Mr..
Goodwin announced. and a number
Of sales have already been made.
Additional units will be opened as
fast rs the canal system is complet-
ed, and it is believed the entire
acreage will be opened within two
years. Two independent develop
ments, belonging to Nick Doffing,
who has 1000 acres. and j. II. La
morea, who has 1000 acres, are To-
Gated on the tract and are part Of
the district. These developments
are being opened and sold in accord
with the general policies adopted by
Mr.. Goodwin.
In announcing his sales plan, Mr..
Goodwin stated that all aereages
would be planted for purchasers and
taken care of for three years, or
longer if desired. Owen Council of
Mission is in charge Of this feature
Of the development, and has adopt
ed the latest ideas in planting and
cultivation, using the deep tillinH
method in preparing the ground and
furrow irrigation with deep tilling.
Several hundred acres have already
been planted under the direction Of
the field manager. and a dozen
crews are nj work setting out addi-
tional a~creages.
Il take considerable pride in what
we have accomplished" Mr.. Good
win said. when the fact Is taken
into consideration that this devel-
I opment. construction Of these can
ais and installation or these pump
ing plants has been accomplished in
a few months, il can be seen that
we have been wasting no time. My
object in extending an invitation "a

them what is being done here and
to invite their cooperation in max
ing this development Of which

other causes had resulted in a minor
epidemic in the northeast section
Of that state. Florida doctors in
that district Immediately advocated
the widespread use Of grapefruit.
with results that the epidemic was
promptly put under control and
quickly eliminated.
Eat Grapefruit
AT present, with upward Of 200. 900
eases Of flu in the northern states,
the condition is apparently growing
worse rather than better. So serious
has il become that Surgeon General
Cumming has issued a bulletin adj
vocating the avoidance of all contact
with crowds. and congress has before
II a bill authorizing an appropriation
Of S25,000 600 TO combat the cpl
dcmic.
The general also advocates
the treatment az all cases in the
home rather than in the hospitals.
Under these conditions both pre-
tentative and curative measures
should be adopted by every person
in the districts where the outbreak
has been felt and, it being a recog-
niZed fact tbs grapefruit surpasscs
every other obtainable remedy, the
widespread use Of grapefruit nv cv-
cry person Is strongly advocated.

urge the public. Even where It's use

ably render such an attack less Sc
