COTTON TREES IN PARAGUAY
Yield Is Greater Than That of Any
Given Area of Any Country
in the World.

A very interesting exposition of the
possibilities of cotton growing in Para
quay has been written by the vice presi-
dent of that republic. Manuel Doming-
uez. and received through the consulate
OF that country in Washington, reports
the Star. Among the features which the
author sets forth, and which are at
variance with the habits of the cotton
plant in the United States, are the term
or life Of the plant there which he claims
is ten years, and it's superior productive
quality. In the United States the plant
Is an annual, except in portions of Texas
and few other places, where it is a tri-
ennlaI. He also says that the cotton
plant in Paraguay is not a plant, but
tree, and that it grows to that size in
Asurcion. Where the fiber of the plant
IS extensively utilized he contends that
there certainly should be some advan-
tage IN such a condition
Mr.. Dominguez then asserts that the
cotton yield of Paraguay is greater to a
given area than that of any other coun-
try in the world 1t is well known that
cotton f1ourishes, wherever the orange
grows, and it is said that the Paraguay
an orange is one of the finest in the
world. The fact that the cotton tree of
Paraguay grows spontaneously and lasts
for ten years, bearing with regularity, is
one of the striking bits of information
in the mass gathered by the author of
the statistics He cites the well-known
facts that the demand for cotton is con-
stantly on the increase, and that the
United States is enGeavorino to supply
the world with the great staple, using
this for an argument that the future for
tunes Of Paraguay may be founded on
this plant.
Referring to the tremendous growth
of the cotton raising and manufacturing
Industry in the United States. he says:
The manufacture of cotton goods in
North America is developing. and when
that country shall manufa cture all it's
raw products the demand for the latter
will increase. Until now North America
depended on Europe as Europe depended
on North America, the latter producing
the cotton which Europe consumed. But
II once North America consumes all the
cotton it produces Europe will be Obliged
to close its factories and discharge its
workmen. 1t will be an economic break
down"
Mr. DomingueZ closes by appealing to
his government to foster and encourage
the cultivation of the valuable plant and
to invite capital to take it up, believing.
he says, that 'in short time Paraguay
could export cotton to the value of $780,
100000 annually"
