Brownsville Cameron Co Texas
Cameron County is the extreme
southern county of Texas It is
separated from Mexico by the Rio
Grande on the south and has about
100 miles of gulf coast as its east-
ern boundary Tfc was organized in
1848 and contains 3308 square i
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 and sometimes three crops of
com averaging from fifty 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 andstock
find pasturae without being fed or
sheltered during the winter But
the soil and climate of the Lower
jo Grande Valiey are by nature
fc adapted for the production of
etables and fruits Vegetables
all kinds grow all the year
orouiul and northern people are as-
tonished to find tpmatoes lettuce
spinach English peas etc served
fresh from the gardens in midwin-
ter This is undoubtedly the par-
adise of trjclc 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 prices as there will be no
competition This is due to our
exceedingly mild climate Fre-
quently the entire winter passes
without a single frost and there is
rarely ever any cold veather before
Christmas Fruit culture has not
been attempted in this county on a
arge scale but there is one large
lauaiici plantation on which this
ehcious 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
ner than in any other section
Many planters here make all of
their own table wines Oranges
and lemons also grow in profusion
and this eeetinn could easily be j Special terms to any
made to rival Florida in the pro-
duction of oranges Simar cane is
ulso oiie of the most important pro
pucts of this valley The Rio
Grande plantation of Mr Geo Bru
layand tbu Rabb Starck plantation
produce grut quantities of cane
which is all manufactured on the
Bio Grande plantation This cane
makes sugar which is produced by
experts to be even superior to the
best Louisiana product Havana
tobaccohas also proven a success
lere Col J G Tucker having
made some most successful experi-
ments with it his samples were
classed by New York buyers as
equal to the best Havana
The county is watered by the Rio
Grande with its ample flow along
the southern boundary and num-
erous small streams ca led larroya
and resacas
The population of Cameron coun-
ty according to the census of 1890
is 13424 Brownsville the county
seat has a population of about
7000 Point Isabel the seaport of
the county hits about 400 inhabi-
tants and Santa Maria a growing
little river settlement lias ahnut250
Improved lands sell for from So
to 25 per acre unimproved for
fr < ni 2 to per acre The aver-
age taxable value of land is 1
There are 82240 acres of school
land in the countv The county
has a total school population of
4400 and gives employment to 80
teachers The average length of
the school term is live mouths The
total tuition revenue received from
the State is S13 000 There are a
number of public schools in the
county affording ample educational
advantages
Hotuesepkers are gradually be-
ginning to find their way to this
land where farmers can work in the
open air 305 days in the year but
it is comparatively undeveloped as
vet With the building of the
Jail road to Corpvs Ohristihpwever
a Treat influx of seftlers may be
expected and they willbe heartily
welcomed This valley is capable
of supporting millions of people
