El Distrito de X había sido beneficiado con 149 caballerías de tierra, las cuales no llegaban a media caballería de riego para sembrarse con cebada; en cambio, la jurisdicción de Y, aparte de dedicarse a refinar, tenía la cría de ganado menor y el cultivo de grandes extensiones con productos que resolvían en gran medida las necesidades de los centros cercanos.

Caballerias of agricultural land...caballeria of irrigated land
agricultural land - a caballeria was a land awarded to a retirint cavalryman by the king of Spain. In Mexico it was equal to42.79 hectares (105.75 acres). The site that explains this is:
www.sizes.com/units/caballer .
The second is a caballeria of irrigated land.
Caballeria is an historic term and I would leave it in Spanish and explain how much land it is is between parantheses.
