More than 100 surface wells, whose average production approximates 1100 gallons per minute, have already been driven in the Beryl District. One such well will adequately irrigate an 8O-acre tract. These wells average in depth 115 feet, piercing three water-bearing strata. Many well-developed farms are now found in the Beryl District. The largest of these is now growing 640 acres of alfalfa of a quality equal to the best grown in the United States, and averag- ing from 4% to 5 tons per acre. farm is irrigated by six wells total water production of 6600 per minute. t{ Just Off the Press The Beryl District is adapted to the a distance of 40 miles.
