Incredible reports Of the productive

Lima beans continue to grow and bear
for over a year. and they have to be
gathered every week after starting to
bear. Cucumbers bear the entire year
and so do tomatoes which, with proper
attention, bear for years Raspber-
ries bear for six months. Pineapples
come int bearing when the plants are
four months old and bear in abundance
for years. Lettuce can be planted at
any time, and it develops quickly. The
same is true Of celery. Wheat corn,
barley and oats produce only one crop
each year, and this is not quite as
good as the crops produced In other

Some interesting particulars of Aus
trian settlements in South America
are contained in a report by the com
mander of the Austrian warship Do
nau, which was dispatched last year
on a semi-commercial mission to the
South American ports. 1t appears that
there is an Austrian colony of about
800 persons at Punta Arenas, the
most southerly town in the world. 1t
is composed chiefly of Dalmatians, and
is The largest foreign element in the
place The greater part of its members
are engaged in gold-mining. but it
comprises a number Of well-to-do mer-
chants. sheep farmers and innkcepers.
The colony is prosperous, although
most of its members began without
any capital. There is a favorable
prospect for future immigrants, who
would benefit by the experience and
assistance Of their predecessors. The
report goes on to declare that Magel-
lanes and Western Patagonia have 4
great future. The many islands OF he
Patagonia archipelago are covered
with evergreen forests capable Of sup
plying immense quantities of valuable
timber. while the mountain ranges, be-
ing of the same geological formation
as those of Chilli and Peru, are thought
to be rich in mineral resources.-New
