Cameron County is the extreme
southern county of Texas It is
separated from Mexico by the Rio
Grande on the south and hasabout
100 miles of gulf coast as its east-
ern boundary Tt was organized in
1848 and contains 3308 square
miles Farming and stock raising
are the principal industries of the
people the location climate and soil
being admirably adapted for both
The greater portion of the soil is a
rich loam and produces an exceed-
ingly heavy yield of both cotton
and corn the chief farm products
Two aud sometimes three crops of
corn uveraging from fiftv to seven-
ty bushels per acre are raised year-
ly while cotton will easily yield
from one to two bales per acres
Grasses grow all the year and stock
find pasturae without being fed or
sheltered during the winter But
the soil and climate of the Lower
Itio Grande VaLey are by nature
st adapted for the production of
Jegetables and fruits Vegetables
af all kinds grow all the year
oround and northern people are as-
tonished to find tomatoes lettuce
spinach English ppas etc served
fresh from the gardens in midwin-
ter This is undoubtedlythe par-
adise of trjck gardeners and so
soon as rail transportation is ob-
tained Cameron county vegetables
by the car load will be shipped to
northern markets during winter and
early spring and will obtain the
highest trices as there will be no
competition This is due to our
exceedingly mild climate Fre-
quently the entire winter passes
witbour a single frost and there is
rarely ever any cold weather before
Christmas Fruit culture has not
been attempted in this county on a
large scale but there is one large
banana plantation on which this
delicious fruit yields most abund-
antly and in the greatest perfection
Grapes are also raised extensively
growing in almost every yard They
ripen from two to four weeks ear-
lier than in any other section

and this section could easily be
made to rival Florida in the pro-
duction of oranges Sugar cane is
ulso one of the most important pro
punts of this valley The Rio
Grande plantation of Mr Geo Brn
lay and the Rahb Starek plantation
produce graat quantities of cane
which is all manufactured on the
Rio Grande plantation This cane
makes sugar which is pcndifed by
experts to he pvp n supprior to the
best Louisiana product Havana
tobacco has also proven a success
here Col J G Tucker having
made some most successful experi-
ment with it his samnles were
classed by New York buyers as
pqual to the best Havana
The county is watered by the Rio
Grande with its ample flow along
tin southern boundary an d mi in
