irrigations. Each tract is therefore given
not less than two cubic feet per second,
which Is an exceptionally good head of
water and will irrigate the ordinary twen-
ty-acre tract in one day, using a three
inch irrigation. All main and distributing
canals are so designed that tributary users
can irrigate all their lands at least once a
week. This is also an exceptional feature,
but rainfall conditions on citrus groves
might require it. That is, all tracts might
be requiring water at the same time.
Drainage bitches have been provided to
care for excess water either from rainfall
or irrigation, and the barrow pits from
canals will be constructed to serve addi-
tional surface drainage to idividual tracts.
This system will contain &c miles Of lined
canals, Az miles Of pipe canals and 81
miles of drain bitches, which compares ia
vorably with any system heretofore in
stalled, either in the amount Of lined or
pipe canals, power plant or distributing
system.
Power for the pumping and other sta
tionary farm and orchard operation is fur
nished by the Central Power & Light Com
pany over a high line from the central
Valley plant at San Benito. The Rio Grande
Telephone Company has extended its lines
to the project. Along the southern boun-
aries of Bayview, State Highway No. 100
offers a concrete highway directly into
Los Fresnos, San Benito, Brownsville and
the other Valley cities and hy midsummer
will be extended to Port Isabel. San Ro-
mand Road, extending through the tract
at right angle to the State highway, is sur
faced and another east and west road to
San Benito is included in the present county
road Improvement program.
The feature of the Bayview Citrus
Groves development is the three years care
given before the orchards are turned over
to the purchasers. Growers report that
citrus trees resemble children in that the
care and training given during their first
three years determines the value Of tree or
child in later years.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-06-29

Probably 80 per cent Of the purchasers
in Bayview come from Northern and Eas-
tern States and are not familiar with the
growing Of citrus. They come to Bayview
to secure homesites in the Nations newest
playground, near the sea, in a winter eli
mate unexcelled. They want their acre
ages planted to citrus fruit to provide in
comes large enough to make their new
homesites sel~f-supporting and profitable.
The care provided in the sales contract
meets the lack of knowledge on part Of
the new owners. When the properties are
delivered to the purchasers in three years
the newcomer has a citrus orchard as a
going concern.
No more beautiful DEVELOPMENT can be
found in South Texas than Bayview Citrus
Groves. The resacas used for water storage
form a chain of lakes bordered BY tall eb-
onies, elms and mesquites of the original
jungle growth. Roads curve along the
waterfront and are to be shelled or grav-
elled by the developers. Palms and other
tropical trees and shrubs have been set
out along the dividing lines of the blocks
and the roads.
Appearance alone speaks Of the beauty
of Bayview but two other things testify to
the fertility of the soil and the ~adaptability
to the profitable growing Of citrus fruits.
First there is the natural growth on the
land. It has been proven through many
years that land which grows ebony and
large mesquite trees originally Is best
adapted to citrus trees under development.
There is no heavier natural growth of eb-
onies, mesquite, t~epehuajis, brazilwood
and other semi-tropical trees than on the
Bayview lands.
Second is the official soil survey of the
L. S. Department of Agriculture. This sur
vey has been reported and the map of Cam
eron County shows the lands of Bayview to
consist Of the Victoria and Laredo silly
clays and loans. The report Of the survey
states that these are the types Of soil best
adapted to successful fruit production.

In order to safeguard the Bayview Citrus
Groves against a possible river pump
breakdown some storage or reservoir ca
pacity was deemed advisable. The Cuates
resaca affords an ideal reservoir site, since
water car be stored in it without any dam
age from seepage to the surrounding ter
ritory, and its winding course adds greatly
to the natural beauty of the tract and can
further be used for fishing and boating.
There can be more han enough water
stored in this reservoir to cover the entire
area Of the Bayview Groves one foot in
depth.
All ~laterals are either concrete lined or
the water is carried through pipes. Where
ever the gradient is such that the water
can be carried through pipes in sufficient
quantity without too great pipe sizes or too
much loss in head, pipe is used; in all
other cases semi-circular sections of gunite
lined canals are used. This construction
makes this system among the best in the
Valley, and will save a great deal of main
tenance and seepage loss in pumping. The
best quality Of gates, checks and outlets
are used $ the system is very flexible and
water can be distributed with a minimum
waste of time and water.
About one-fourth of the land in the dis
trlct included in the Bayview Citrus Groves
can be irrigated by gravity from the main
connecting canal-the remainder along
the Cuates resaca and to the north requires
at least one re-lift pump. On investigation
it was found that the two larger pumping
units and a number of smaller ones would
give better and quicker service and be less
expensive in loss Of right-of-way and cleo
tricity, and this plan was adopted. Elec-
trically operated pumps because Of the
smaller first cost and lower maintenance
and overhead; then, too, the high lines
which have been installed over the entire
tract give complete electric service for all
purposes. All canals and outlets are suf-
ficient in size to give water users sufficient
water so that the individual users would
not be handicapped with too small a head
while irrigating, or too long a time between

New owners Of the developed homesites
in Bayview Citrus Groves are selected citi-
zens from all the great Middle West and

means Of a vast organization in the field.
Then those qualified seekers of homesites
in the wonderful Lower Rio Grande Val
ley surroundings are brought down on
special trains for a three-day tour of the
Valley and a trip to Old Mexico.
Each Monday q special train bearing the
Bayview parties rolls into the Valley. The
party is taken first or a tour Of the entire

the visitors are the guests at the Bayview

ID Coast of the Lower Rio Grande VAL
ley and the tract was selected for
the soil, climate and water conditions by
the Port Isabel Company, developers and
owners of Port Isabel.
Lying from ten to fifteen miles north
west of Port Isabel, the lands now in
cluded in Bayview Citrus Groves had been
held in large tracts by estates and large
landowners. Heavy growth of native trees
and semi-tropical ~shrubbery covered the
soil with dense jungle. Density Of natur-
al growth which made the brush almost
impossible testified to the fertility of the
soil before development was started.
Beginning with LOO acres of the old
Box Ranch in 1928, the Port Isabel Com
pany began one of the best known and
most complete citrus fruit paintings in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley. "Self-support-
ing homesites" is the selling slogan and the
project is planned to bring to bearing the
finest grapefruit and oranges and sell to
those who want five to twenty-acre tracts
at the edge of the Valleys seaside play
ground area.
More than 5000 acres nave been cleared
and planted to citrus trees.
Modern Irrigation System
Water is furnished by the Los Fresnos
water district and distributed through the
Bayview tract by Water District No. IA.
Water storage which provides for a years
supply is held in resacas or natural lake
channels. Electric pumps lift the water
for distribution over the orchards through
concrete lined canals or underground con-
crete pipes.
The general topography of this tract
Is the same as the rest of the Rio Grande
Valley; that is, the land on the resaca
banks is the highest and slopes gradually
away from them. This makes the resacas
ideal reservoirs for irrigation, as the water
when raised to the tops of the banks flows
by gravity over the rest Of the land.
The resaca banks have an elevation Of
from % to 80 feet above sea level, while
the deepest parts of the resacas have an
elevation of 8 feet. The soil is all alluvial
deposit and varies from the darker finer
particles at greater distances.
The government soil chart names this
resaca soil as Laredo silly clay loan and
shows almost the entire tract to be of this
character, bordered by Laredo clay in the
lower portions. Both soils are well adapted
to citrus growth, while the Laredo silly
clay loan is considered the best in the
Valley.
