mez as one Of "our small projects"
The Gales project in Aguascali-
entes, has been completed, and will
irrigate approximately $4,000 acres.
A dam on the Yaqui river is ex-
pected to provide irrigation water
for 250, 900 acres, and one on the
Lerma river will irrigate more than
100000 acres.
Members Of the party discussed
Developments in general in Mexico,
and pointed out the fact that har-
borS are being dredged, that pro-
vision is being made to develop cleo
trio power at some of the irrigation
dams, and that other improvements
on a large scale are being made.
I'VE expect to spend approximate
ly $4,000, 900 annually for the next
few years in development of this
kind" members of the party said.
May Export Through Valley
An interesting angle of the de-
velopment of irrigation projects in
Mexico is the plan of the govern
ment there to take back to the ma
tive fold thousands of Mexican Ia
borers who have come to the United
States during the past few years.
Five hundred families are to be
taken back into Mexico to colonize
the San Martin project alone, they
said, and others will be given lands
on other irrigation projects started
by the government. The govern
ment is to sell the land to the la
bors on long time payments. fur
nish them with agricultural imple-
ments, seeds, and other facilities in
order to help them get started as
home owners in their native lands.
We should have large quantities

future" Secretary Gomez said. I'VE
we're particularly anxious to come

export much of these porducts
through ports that are being de-
veloped in this section"

DELAY LOOMS

New Law In Texas Dooms

Work already has been started on
some of these projects, and one or
two of the smaller ones are about
ready for use, Secretary Gomez said.
Others will be launched as rapidly
as plans can be worked out, and
finances arranged.
In undertaking these huge trri-
cation developments, we felt that
we should have information on
some of the most efficient irriga-
ton systems in sections that have
irrigated lands for many years"
Secretary Gomez said. With this
in mind we decided to make a study
of the irrigation systems Of the Low
er Rio Grande Valley"

authorities on irrigation matters in
the Valley.
From San Benito they went to
Mercedes, where they looked over
the distribution system of the Amer
lean Rio Grande Land and Irriga-
ton company. Secretary Gomez
said that the Mexican engineers
were particularly interested in the
distribution systems Of the Valley
irrigation districts and they paid at
tention to such matters as meters,
%concreting Of canals, drainage, ar
ranging canals with a view to Sc
curing conservation of water, etc.
Go to Falfurrias
They went from Mercedes to
Pharr-San Juan, looking over some
of the irrigation works there, and
discussing with the heads of the
Pharr-San Juan district the extern
sive improvements that are planned
for the district.
From the Valley the Mexican Of
ficials and engineers went to san
Antonio, to visit the Winter Garden
district. The party also visited some
of the diaries around Falfurrias,
Secretary Gomez showing particular
interest in improved methods OF
conducting dairy farms, creamerles
etc.
In discussing the irrigation prof.
ects in Mexico, Secretary Gomez
mentioned the Don Martin project,
a new government development, 10
Gated near Nuevo Laredo, which will
irrigate approximately 10000 acres
of land. The dam which is being
erected there will be completed by
the end of this year, and next year
