1. Sand - value depends on quality and grain size

2. Tourist appeal

3. Oil, gas & water depending on the underground resources

4. Life skills & technologies from flora & fauna that survive in the deserts.

5. Two food products come from the "Prickley Pear" cactus.

1. The large egg shaped fruit which forms after the beautiful flowers

are gone is "de-thorned," removed, peeled, and the inside has a

very sweet pulp which is used to make dessert gels and glazes.

It can also be eaten directly, but it has lots of seeds which makes

the process very time consuming, but occasionally worth the effort.

The Mexican people call this fruit "Tuna."

6. The leaves of the same Prickly Pear cactus are also edible once the

needles have been removed [generally by burning them off]. I think

Mexicans call this "Nopalito."

Also, in Texas [maybe elsewhere], when there is drought and shortage

of forage grass and water for the cattle, the cattle, in desperation, will

eat the leaves, spines or thorns and all, ruining their lips, mouths, and

and tongues, resulting in not being able to eat,and eventual starvation.

During a drought, the ranchers will carefully burn off all the catus

needles so that the cactus is then safe for the cattle to eat. Not only

are the leaves nutricous [spelling?], but they contain a great amount of

water. Often, it there is enough catus to outlast the drought, the cattle

will survive.

7. There is another cactus, in Texas commonly known as the "Century

Plant." I'm not sure of the spelling of the Spanish name, but it's

something like "Megehey." This planty has many uses, its juice is used

to make a basic beer, which I think is called "Pulque" [again, spelling?]

I think the same juice is also used to make Tequila. The fibre, once

separated from the pulp and other material, is used for thread,

weaving mats, chair seats, and other such clothlike items.
