A GREAT FERTILE FARM.
as n Producer of Cereal,
Meats and Wool.

Meuth anu wool.
The possibilities of agriculture in
Argentina and the rapidity with which
they may be utilized are problems that
interest both exporting and importing
countries. Nh. +. W. Blcknell. a
special agent Of the department OF ag-
riculture, has presented in recent re-
port remarkable collection Of facts
bearing on the production Of wheat and
on farm life in Argentina. OF the ag-
riculture in general Mr. Bicknell says
that Argentina is sure TO take higher
rank as a producer Of cereals. meats
and wool. Conditions are changing for
the better Elevators are being built
the milling industry is being reorgan.
tied on n sounder basis. and large pro
1uction for export is anticipated. trans
portation facilities are being improved
the right LOCALITIES for raising wheat
and corn are being more certainly de
termined. and improved methods are
slowly being adopted.
With his great natural. advantages
of climate and short haul to the sea
board the Argentina cereal producer
when he makes the best use of his Op
portunlties, will be very strong com
petitor i'm the worlds markets. The
most important question to be answer
ed is, How soon may he be expected
TO develop his country fully, and wher
he does will the price of land increase
to balance his natural advantages
Probably it will, but it is going to TAKE

gion west of the Mississippi spring
planting gives best results. In the
middle Atlantic states the work is di-
vided between spring and August
planting, with the balance in favor of
the latter in some localities. In New
England the work is chiefly confined to
the spring months. although there are
enthusiastic advocates of fall planting,
especially among those who combine
strawberry growing with trucking on
expensive lands near the large cities.
In the Atlantic coast states south of
New York August and September
planting is most extensively practiced,
particularly upon the more retentive
soils. In the trucking region on the
islands about Charleston, S. c., spring
planting Is extensively practiced. In
Georgia and Florida fall set plants re
turn a profitable crop the following
spring. On the heavier soils of South
Carolina fall planting. with the paying
crop one year from the following
spring, is the most profitable method.
( The particular time during summer or
fall when the planting should be done
will be governed by the occurrence Of
the seasonal (rains-if in July and Au-
gust, plant then; If in September and
October, plant at that time.
AS to systems of planting and cult

hill system raises the plant somewhat
and admits of more intense cultivation
than does the matted row. For the hill

tion at less cost per ton than any other
crop. Cane and kaffir corn gave the
largest yields of any Of the annual
crops, and the cost per ton Of siloing
these crops was less than the cost OF
SLIDING corn. Corn ranked second in
yield Of silage and cowpeas third. Corn

Most people who have watched the
performance of Arizona" have prob
ably commented on the eccentric make
up of the cowboys who appear i'm the
play and are probably of the opinion
that their peculiar manner of dress is
the result of vanity. This is not so by
any means. Every article of their out
lfhdish costumes are worn for pur-
pose.
The large sombrero is of course to
keep off the hot burning rays Of the sun
which pours down upon them with a
heat like flames from a red hot furnace;
so as will be seen by this the costume
is all a necessity and the cowboys in
