should be needed for irrigation pur-
poses it could easily be secured from
wells sunk to a shallow depth or
from some Of the irrigation dis
tricts. The grape producing area Is
in the new Franklin district from
which water could be secured. Wa
ter secured from wells is suitable for
irrigation, 1t has been determined.
Two Companies Interested
The two leading organizations in
the Edinburg grape growing field
are the Red Land Vineyards Co.,
Inc, and the Rio Grande Vineyards
company. Each has substantial
acreages In the producing area and
plans further development of this
industry.
The grape-growing land also Is
suitable for citrus. 1t. In fact. was
the proving ground for the Valley
citrus industry. according to T.
Grady Carl OF E%dinburg. He says
that there are orange trees at La

velopment which are 20 years old.

Oranges Planted About 20
Years Ago Are Still
Bearing Well

Although frozen to the ground
while they were quite young. sever
al trees Of a Spanish sweet variety
orange are still growing on the La
guna SEGA ranch neal Edinburg,
proof Of the great age which citrus
trees may attain and still bear in
the Lower Rio. Grande Valley.
"a gift OF oranges from a Catholic
priest from Brownsville making his
rounds or the ranches led to the
planting Of the seed and the sub
sequent growth az the trees. There
they have withstood the assaults Of
time for over so years. possibly 10.

Africa and Southern Europe which
have been known TO attain the age
Of 1O0 years or more

and owned by Misses Carlota and
Delfina Vela. descendants Of the
original owners. has been verified
from several sources. The sisters
themselves remember that the trees
we're always there and that they
always bore fruit.
A cowboy born on the ranch re-
members the seed being planted and
the fruit harvested. He Is over 70
years old. The fact that a brick
wall erected around the trees has
worn thin also testifies to their age.
There are seven trees In the
group. all very tall and with a large
spread.
There originally were $4,000 acres
IN the ranch granted by the Crown
Of Spain to Macedonia Vela OF

scendents.
