1 ZIOQRANim IRRIGATION
People and farmers a a rule
are wont to Bhun a drouthy conn
try but in this ad ranged ajithere
is no longer any need to do sbV
With a fertile coil and a mild cli-
mate if there bo within reach
some source from whtfncs to draw
a water supply for irrigation pm
poses there need bo = o question as
to t horainfr11 These conditions
are nowhere fulfilled in such meas
nro as along the banks of tho Rio
Grande The soil is perhnps the
richest in America equalling pro-
ductiveness the world renowned vnl
ley of the Nile Wherever a little
waterjis poured on it tho richness
of its verdure is not excelled by tbe
moat beautiful conservatory Ab
to climate the farmer can work
hero twelve months in tho year
without cessation No blighting
winds or chilling frosts occur hero
during the winter seasons and our
people feast on vegetables matured
at their very doors in the open air
tho year ronnd As to the water
supply we subjoin a clipping from
the San Antonio Express written
by its Laredo correspondent who
has had ample opportunity tu
study hie sabjeet as irrigation is
has beenfor 6ome time successful ly
employed by Laredos enterprising
planters This is the clipping
Several irrigation schemes are un-
der way and landB that con be ir
rigiited are becoming higher in
price and more appreciated The
Rio Grande will always be consid-
ered tho main source of water sup-
ply in this vicinity Its waters are
are nearly or quite pure from min
oral salts snd other properties jo
trimentnl to plant life In fact tho
very mud that is borno down here
in its occasional madness is stid to
be one of the best fertilisers that
can be fonnd Take the water ot
the Rio Grande place it in a buck-
et and hang it up where the breeze
can strike it over night and in the
morning youhavo a drink that re-
sembles melted snow water the
purest sweetest drink imaginable
With this water any kind of yog
tables can be grown and the ground
Booms especially adapted in its rich
neas for tho onion and cabbage and
anyone experienced in gardening
will tell you that they require very
heavy mannring elsewhere to pur
feet a crop w hilo hero allvthey re
quireis water and yon can pull
and sell your onions in March at n
profit some say of 600 per aero

gold and is studded with dia-
mond The binnacle light is a
