I DISTRICTS BUCK
WATER GRANT
Robertson Says Rio Grande
Would Be Drained By
Applicants
• Special to The Herald '
SAN BENITO. May 2—Repre
sentatives ef practically all irigation
district* in the Valiev are making
Reparations to go to Austin next
wmk, to oppose granting of a per
miyfo irrigate 88 852 acres of land
inflfie western part of Hidalgo
county.
Legal representatives of the va
rious irrigation districts, managers,
and seme other officers woll appear
at Austin, and the fight on this dis
trict will be one of the most con
centrated and intensive ever launch
ed or an application for water from
the river, ft is indicated
Th* reason for this, it was ex
plained. is that the plans of the new.
district make no provision for stor
age. which is required of all new
districts in the Valley. The district
throurh it* representative. J. T
Franklin of Austin, two years aen
filed a presentation with th- sta*
brird ef water engineers. This may
result in the district not being
forced to provide storage, such as
new districts are required to do now
by th* state board of water en
gineers. Frank Robertson, secretary
of th* Joint Association of Irriga
tion Districts, and manager of the
local district, said.
Th* land in question is located
between the Goodwin traet. and th*
western boundary of Hidaleo county.
** vending north to a point alxnc
the northern boundary of the Good
win district, and south to the Rio
Grande
Th- dr*ricf proposes to place its
pumping plant, two miles west o'
Ram Fnrdvce.
Application ha* been filed for an
appropna'ion of fiOO second f«*t of
wafer This. Mr. Robertson slid, is
about one-third the normal low flow
of the Rio Grande at Mission Tins
would mean that in times when the
rr er was ,below low Row. the dis
trict could almost dram th* river
above Mission, leaving an insuffi
cient amount of water for the Low
er Valley during dry weather in the
summer, when irrigation is needed
most.
Decision for each district to op
pose the apheation separately, in
stead of the Joint Association op
posing it as a unit, was reached due
to th* fact that the new district is
in the Valley, and that there may
b* one or two districts which do not
wish to oppos* the application
However. Mr Robertson said the
Valiev Water Conservation rommit
tee. at its meeting here, was in
formed that practically all the Val
ley districts will oppose granting of
the permit..

WORM FOUND IN I
VALLEY COTTON
Alsmeyer Takes Steps To
Kill Parasite On
4,000 Acres j
• Special to The Herald'
SAN BENITO, May 2.—Drastic
steps are being taken by farmers,
county agents and others to check
the ravages of the web or careless
weed worm, which has been found
in approximately 4.000 acres of cot
ton in Cameron county.
Announcement of this was made
today by County Agricultural Agent
Henry Alsmeyer.
The worm defoliates the cotton
stalks in a short time, and quick
action must be taken.
Dusting with calcium arsenate is
> suggested by Alsmeyer as a means
of checking the worm. In dusting
the nozzle of the machine should
be placed lust above the top of
i the plants, in order that the dust,
will strike the ground, and come
, baek up with some force, settling
on the under side as well as the
upoer side of the leaves, it is said.
The area infested includes 3 000
acres north and west of Harlingen,
j and 1 000 acres in the Rio Hondo
I section
The insect pest was identified bv
Alsmeyer and S. W. Clark of the
| experiment station at Weslaco, who
incpccfed the section infested.
