The chief energy foods for the
human body are the carbohydrates.
Most carbohydrate is secured
through plant life. such as the
cereal grains, sugar, cane sugar,
beet sugar, maple sugar, sweet
fruits, vegetables such as potatoes,
milk sugar. blood and liver. Thus.
there is more than one kind Of
sugar. The chemists classify them
as single sugars, double sugars and
complex sugars. All Of them con-

and oxygen.

various other foods are burned in
the body to produce energy and

The Bogey of Over-D evelopment

One of the principal objections voiced in all honesty
and sincerity against the valuation of the Lower Rio
Grande Water Conservation District of Texas comes from
those who fear that the surplus water of the Rio Grande
which will be made available by the construction of stor-
age dams at some future date will cause an over-develop-
ment of Valley territory, which in turn will result in
overproduction of Valley fruits and vegetables.
In the first place, we would point out that the con-
struction of these storage dams is as yet a matter to be
worked out between the governments of Mexico and the
United States.
No possible basis for the construction of these dams
exists today nor can such a possible basis exist until such
time as the two governments have come to an agreement
regarding the equitable division of the waters Of the Rio
Grande.
Negotiations for an agreement regarding this divi-
sion have been going on for years and are still going on
between the Mexican and United States sections of the
international Water commission.
The Valley is vitality interested in the progress Of
such negotiations. This section is practically the only
user of the waters of the Rio Grande on either side of the
river below Laredo, and we are placed in the peculiar
position of using waters which originate chiefly in Mex
lean territory.
1t is, or should be, we'll known that the San Juan and
Salado rivers, rising in Mexico and flowing into the Rio
Grande, furnish by far the bulk of the water which is
taken into Valley irrigation canals.
Important as it is to the Valley that our interests be
considered in reaching an agreement as to just how much
of this water of the Rio Grande the United States shall be
entitled to, and just how much of this water belongs to
Mexico, the Valley has no organization whose duty it is
to represent the Valley during these all important nego.
tiations.
At the suggestion of L. M. Lawson, u. S. member Of
the International Water commission, organization of this
proposed conservation district to represent the Valley
during these negotiations was undertaken.
The Valley must realize that an assured supply of ir-
rigation water is essential not only for the further develop
ment of this section, but is vitality essential for the protec-
ton of the development we already have.
So, we need first a treaty with Mexico assuring US of
our right to a certain proportion of the flow of the Rio
Grande, and secondly we need storage to assure us that
that proportion which will be granted us by that treaty
will be of sufficient amount to water the lands already
under development.
Our immediate concern is the agreement between the
two countries, and the U. S. member of the commission
engaged in trying to reach that agreement assures us that
the formation OF this conservation district, giving the fed
eral government through him an agency with which to
consult. will be of great help in reaching the desired end.
After the treaty with Mexico has been secured it will
be time enough to worry over the construction of the
storage dams and other kindred matters.

amount Of carbohydrates used de-
ponds on the amount Of energy
lost. During prolonged starvation.
the carbohydrates stored up in the
body, particularly in the form Of
glycogen in the liver and in the
muscle, is used up to supply this
need. Carbohydrates are burned in
supplying body heat, maintaining
the body temperature. The carbo-
hydrates cannot be used TO build up
tissue, but in times OF starvation
they help to take care OF certain
energy requirements and thus spare
the proteins.
Any excess Of sugar taken into
the body is stored and finally,
when the storage facilities are ex-
hausted. is reconstructed to form
fat. This fat IS then deposited
around the body in various places,
usually whore most conspicuous
and least desired.
