Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Drainage Situation in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas Companies in the valley, representing an investment of several million dollars. Up to the present time (august, 1909) perhaps acres of land have been cleared, and it is quite probable that between and acres will be in cultivation by the first of 1910. Settlers are constantly arriving in the valley in large numbers, and towns, sugar mills, factories, and houses are being built. The first irrigation Scheme of any magnitude was put in operation about 1902, when the Brownsville Land and Irrigation Company started to grow rice. The yield of the first crop was excellent and a bright future was predicted for the rice industry, but the second crop was not so much of a success. In the growth of rice it is neces sary to keep the ground covered with water several inches in depth; and in order that it might not seep away too fast the low-lying, heavy, clay soils were chosen. These soils contain a large amount of alkali, which was rapidly concentrated at the surface by this method of culture, and it soon became evident that rice could not be profitably grown. No attempt has been made to grow rice since 1906. Since the abandonment of the rice crop, sugar cane, cotton, and truck crops have been extensively grown. The climate of this part of Texas is classed as semitropical and semiarid, in spite of the fact that the average annual rainfall at Brownsville is inches. All irrigation water comes from the Rio Grande. During the early summer months the river is fre quently dry at El Paso, and the mest of the supply for the lower part of the valley must come from the Republic of Mexico.
