Water shortages forseen for Valley United Press International SOUTH PADRE ISLAND — The Rio Grande Valley is about six years away from the beginning of a water shortage that will become progressi vely serious, a Texas Department of Water Resources expert predicts. “Shortages will begin to make themselves felt by 1990,” said Dr. Gerald Higgins of Austin. Higgins told a recent Texas Vege table Association convention that trouble for the Valley will begin in six to seven years, and by the year 2000 the area’s problems will be come acute. He reported Valley water use and availability in 1980 were about bal anced — about 1,753-million acre feet consumed and a 1,763-acre foot supply. But the balance will not last much longer, he said. By 1990 increasing municipal and industrial requirements will push the lowest demand estimate 10 percent above supply. By 2000, according to his agency’s statewide survey, de mand will outstrip supply by about 173,000 acre feet. Dr. Tim Hartz of Weslaco,] Texas Agricultural Extension! ice vegetable specialist, agreed n Higgins. Hartz said adripirrig; demonstration he and fellow tist Glyde Bogle conducted cove three seasons of tomato product in Hidalgo County. ft The demonstration showed a percent yield increase of the 1 market fruit, while water usewasj duced by an astonishing 70 percti Despite its installation costj $1,000 and more per acre, drift gation could be used profitably! number of crops, including pep| celery, onions and melons. St. Virtually none of the Vallel 100,000 acres of vegetables aret watered by drip, Hartz said. Hartz said other considerable,! less spectacular, savings could) made by irrigating through piped stead of open ditches and byi ing the length of irrigated fields, Agricultural use is projected to re main little changed at 1.3-million acre feet a year by the start of the 21st century. The development and wide tion of such an irrigaton sd would of fer a potential 15 pei water savings alone, Haru predict Higgins said the only relief he could foresee for the looming water deficit is conservation or operational efficiency, especially on the part of agriculture, which represents about 88 percent of the Valley’s current water usage. Higgins said the Valley is pamf “crisis of major proportions' it looms for the statewide waters® ply. Austin, for example, aleadyb outrun its ability to supply safes® to its citizens, he said. Any significant economies will have to be generated there because agriculture is such a heavy water consumer, he said. Texas is already mining itssii surface water supplies tothetunci 5 million acre feet a year, Higp said. Houston couple break several months of silence Ports testify in son’s murder case United Press International HOUSTON — A couple broke months of silence Wednesday by tes tifying before the grand jury that in dicted their teenage son for the mur der of a female letter carrier, but they then were returned to jail for at least another night. Bernard and Odette Port have been in jail since Sept. 12 on a con tempt of grand jury charge for re fusing to testify against their 17- year-old son, David. The Ports have maintained for several months they have a parent- child privilege not to testify against their son. The teen-ager is charged with murder in the June 7 shooting death of mail carrier Debora Sue Schatz, 23. Mrs. Port, who is David’s step mother, spent six hours on the wit ness stand Wednesday, Harris County District Attorney John Holmes said. He added that her husband testi fied for about 90 minutes before the grand jury recessed until Friday. Assistant district attorney Jim Lavine said “some progress” was made, but he said, “We can’t tell you what has happened.” Defense attorney Randy Schaffer also said progress has been made in the case. Schaffer said the Ports asked for the meeting with the grand jury be cause the focus of the investigation had changed, and there are m questions they could answer. “This ain’t no fun,” Schaffer Ehey’re pretty well sickofallthii “They’ve been sick of all this the first 24 hours. Another 90i in the slammer with nothingacctc plished would be time wasted in judgment, and I’m sure in t! judgment.” Haley (continued from page 1) some census records. “That was, for me, the first bite of the genealogical bug, which, as any one who is involved in it knows, there is no cure,” Haley said. Haley said he gives all the money he earns from lecturing and speak ing to help put students through school. At an earlier news conference, Haley told the media the Reagan ad ministration is conservative in terms of education and funding for both black and white students. He said current black college stu dents would be the biggest assets for colleges trying to recruit more black students. “I don’t think you could have bet ter emisaries than the students,” he said. Haley also suggested talking to older people, such as parents, to have them pass the word to young people before they graduate or drop out of high school. “The important thing is to get them moving while still in high school,” Haley said. Another way black college stu dents can encourage other blacks from their hometowns to attend col lege is to invite them to visit the col lege and get the feel of the campus. This can help dispel any fears the E rospective student might have. Ha- :y said this could be done at special times such as Racial Awareness Week. Fear of how he will be accepted can hinder a black person’s achieve ments, he said. “I’m really concerned that the concern with problems of blacks and other minorities has tended to cause an almost phobia to the effect that sometimes it can hinder people from what they might do,” Haley said. He said one of the biggest prob lems black students face is not at col lege but when they return home. The student finds there is a great rift between himself and a friend who Ti iey hardly tail;; C someone that was in the seatnexl them,” Haley said. While white students also canfi this problem, Haley said it is mi intensive in the case of the black cause the black community is mi intensive. Haley also talked about his if coming books. “Henning,” a nostalgic lookaik hometown in western Tennessee due out at the end of the year. H is next project is a book ate G.J.
