Farmers can’t grow or

regrow food crops without

water. In the Southwest the

weather is hot and dry. So

farmers often must irrigate

their land. That means they bring water from one place

to another. Long ago Texas

farmers made long ditches

called canals. The canals

carried river water to farms. In the

Rio Grande Valley, water from the

river helped farmers grow crops such as oranges.

Some Texas farmland sits on an

underground sea of water. In the

past farmers sank pipes into the

earth and built windmills. Today

electric pumps bring up water. Now

Texas farmers can grow many kinds

of crops. Water is brought up

from the ground by

electric pumps to the

growing crops.

May 15, 2−−−

Dear Katie,

I am so happy to meet my new penpal! I live in an Eskimo village in Alaska.

I live with my parents and my beloved

grandfather. I love him more than almost

anybody!

I want to tell you about going with

Grandpa to the tundra near my home.

Grandpa had promised to show me a

wolf. Last Sunday he kept his word.

We got up early. I put on my heavy

sweater and wiggled into my boots.

They were a tight fit so I moved my feet

quickly from side to side to get them on.

underground in a burrow . Some coatis

eat while hanging from trees.

All animals need to eat, but

different beasts eat in different

ways.

A raccoon searches for fish,

nuts, and other things to eat.

Raccoons wash all their food

before eating it. To do this, they

must live near water. Even small

pools of water, like puddles, will

do. After the raccoon washes its

food, it begins to eat by taking

small bites. The animal may nibble

on an acorn once it is clean.

Real World Reading

“We really do not have a lot of time left to save the

prairie,” says Ron Cole. A prairie is a large, flat area

covered with grasses.

Prairies have very few trees. Prairies once stretched

across the middle part of the United States. Todaymost of that land is covered with farms and towns

instead of grasses. Ron Cole belongs to a conservation

group that teaches people to take better

care of the prairie. Their goal is to protect

the prairie land that remains. That will help

the plants and animals that live there.

The trees were blown over and the roots came

out of the ground. Strong winds were even

able to destroy houses. Some were completely

flattened. Hurricane Charley also damaged

crops. Luckily it did not hurt any of the cows

in the grasslands. Farmers took the animals

off the grassy fields in time.
