ARGENTINA AND ITS WEALTH.

Temperate Zone Where WintersH cola
 Never Checks Growth of Crops, Reader Magazine.
 IL IS necessary to glance at both her history and geography before we can form q good Idea of Argentina. our active rival in South America. Ar- gentina has an area of 1,135,s40 souare i miles and equals that part of our own country east of the Mfssissfnpi with the Dakotas. Minnesota and Iowa thrown in. From north to south the country measures 2,30O miles and its widest part, only 500 miles, it is not maintained over the entire length. The interior, excepting in the ex- treme north. Is all within the temper ate zone and forms an immense plain with It's eastern edge against the Parana river, the Uruguay river and the Atlantic ocean. ts western edge ascends to the summit of the Andes, 20.000 feet.
 Everything that the United States can grow Argentina can grow, and cheaper; yet today, although she ex- ports wheat to the eastern world, the price of bread Is higher than when wheat was imported. Argentina has astonishd and will continue to aston- ish the world by her fertility. for her wheat, cattle, sheep and alfalfa mul- tiply from one years end to the other without taking any rest, because there Is no snow. no winters cold, to check their growth.
 She could feed 20,00o, 900 persons on wheat alone and with her animal food there would be nearly enough for the whole western world even if the Uni ted States were wiped off the map. There are magnificent estates of thou sands upon thousands or acres where sheep and cattle and wheat cannot be estimated, but whole estates are own ed by one man and the laborers are South Europeans who have no ambi- tions beyond earning their daily bread, whose standard of living is sat- isfied by a mud hut and the hope of accommodating enough to pay their pas sage back to Spain or Italy
 There are 12,500 miles of as good railways as any in the world. with splendid trains, luxurious cars, fine rock-ballasted beds and every modern comfort; yet apart from the railways most of the highways are only tracks beaten across the plains by the In- dians or by the later cowboys. These tenders or cattle and growers oc wheat are about the only inhabitants of the primitive towns and villages scattered throughout the land, so that from one estate forty miles may be travelled before one sees more than a hut which gives merely shelter from the wind and rain, but on the next es- tate is a palace filled with the prod ucts of European art.

 That portion of the Secretary's an- nouncement which related to the re- demption of the per cent bonds or 1907 at a price equal to the principal and interest on maturity Is the meas ure intended by the Secretary as the principal source of relief to the money market. Under this announcement, holders of the As of 1907 will receive immediately upon representation of the bonds to the Treasury Department the full face value and per cent addi- tional. being the interest for half year from January 1 to July l, 1907.
