A GREAT FERTILE FARM.
Argentina Rs n Producer of CerenIsi
Ments and Wool.

MFnAN Hnu WoOAs
The possibilities Of agriculture in
Argentina and the rapidity with which
they may he utilized are problems that
interest both exporting and importing
countries. Mr.. f. w. Bicknell a
special agent Of the department OF ag-
riculture. has presented in a recent re-
port a 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 q producer OF cereals. meats
and wool. Conditions are changing for
the better. Elevators are being built
the milling industry is being reorgan
ized on sounder basis. and large pro
1uction for export is anticipated. trans
portaion facilities are being improved
the right localities for raising wheat
and corn are being more certainly de
termined. and improved methods arc
slowly being adopted.

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

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
! vation, Mr. COrbett remarks that the
/ hill system raises the plant somewhat
and admits of more intense cultivation
| than does the matted row. For the hill
system of culture, plants are set singly
by 8 feet apart In Florida a com
mon practice is to lay off the land in
broad beds s to 10 feet wide. the rows

! In the matted row system a common
practice is TO set plants in single rows
4 feet apart. with the plants - inches
apart in the row. The runners are ther
allowed TO take possession Of the ares
for 6 TO 9 inches on either side Of the
original plants, thus making n matted
