Sources and data
“In this municipality, the data referred to in this survey does not exist, as there is no one occupied in agriculture because of the lack of irrigation and only a few residents do a small amount of rainfed planting to help with their subsistence.” (No hay en este Municipio los datos a que se refiere esta voleta [sic], pues no hay quién se ocupe en la agricultura por la falta de regadio y solamente unos cuantos vecinos hacen agunos [sic] pequeños sembrados de temporal para ayudar a su subsistencia.) Incomplete table from Casas, Tamaulipas, June 9, 1899. Archivo General de la Nación, Fomento y Obras Publicas: Exposiciones Extranjeras y del País. Caja 51, exp. 8.
