BRAZILIAN WHEAT TO SUP
PLY THE WORLD
American Growers to Take lib Vast
Area for Supply or European
Market.


Two American gentlemen, Messrs. Tom
merson and Hill, have recently been re-
celved by the President Of Brazil. and
have discussed at great length 4 nlan for
taking UP some of the vast areas az nm
cultivated land in the interior for the
growing Of wheat.
The first interview with President
Pecanha, was productive Of excellent re-
suits, both gentlemen say, and they have
declared their intention of taking up the
land that has been selected I'M the state
Of Parana. They have stated they have
ample capital at their command and have
furnished the Federal authorities with
the necessary credentials. Mr.. Winter il
authority for the statement that his in
vestigations have shown that there are
millions of acres in the southern Brazil
ian states capable Of furnishing the finest
wheat The old records show chat in the
eighteenth century large quantities or
wheat were exported from Rio Grande
do Sui 70 the United States Of North
America. During the last century, how
ever, wheat growing has completely
passed away from Brazil, and it il the
mission of these gentlemen to resuscitate
the agricultural industry. I'm 1907, Brazil
imported 246,853 tons Of wheat, and no.
~ tons Of four. The Argentine supplied
nearly all this
And yet, Brazil was once the Oldest
Wheat-groWing country Of the Americas.
In the 18th century and at the beginning
of the 18th, wheat was largely cultivated
fn the then "Capitaneries of Santa
Catharina, Mfnas Geraes and Sac Pauio.
Auguste de- Sainte-H ilaire, the famous
French naturalist, who visited Brazil at
the beginning of the 10th century.
wrote Of the delicious bread which he ate
I'm Campos Geraes (the present State Of
Parana) made OF wheat grown i'm that
locality. Travellers to Brazil in the 18th
century made similar reports. Gradually
the natives substituted for the bread
made of -four, bread made Of manioc. and
the growing of wheat decreased consid-
erably. It Is well known that In the 18th
century it was particularly the Captain
cry of (the present State Of J Rio Granda
do Sui which exported large quantities of
wheat to the United States Of North
America, Cuba, and in the Vie Kingdom az
Buenos Ayres, and near Rio de Janeiro
are even to-day to be seen numerous ruins
OF old -four mills which at that time
ground the wheat. Even in the HIGH
mountains wheat was grown successfully
(wheat Of the montes altos), also in the
valley Of the Rio de Contas (Bahia). ii
the mountains Of Araripe (Ceara), and
also on the mountains Of Texeira para
hYbn).
The consumption Of wheat and -four IL
largely on the increase in Brazil. It was
IN 1902. Of wheat: 1878 Tons, and Of
hour; lO5,59O Tons, and in 1907, Of wheat:
lS0,5l6 Tons. and Of -four. l70,252 r.
(Eur).
These figures win tend to prove what
enormous home market offers for the en-
terprlse Of Messrs. Tommerson and Win
ter, the intending American wheat-grow-
ers IN Brazil It i said that they can
have the pick and first choice Of the best
land for this purpose.

This, of course, i not contemplated I'm

the direction Of greater economy and
higher efficiency, and this forms an
initial step in the right direction.
Senator Newlands' bill brings all the
building operations OF the government
under one head, with representation
from each department. It also provides
an advisory council Of eminent specialists

building up to the possible maximum.
&C present the architectural work Of

postofhces. commerce and labor and Others
have no representation except what thew

1he cost Of these various architectural
offices is about 81 200 900 per year.
The purpose Of the legislation now
pending u to bring all these separate
ana sometimes antagonistic organizations
together so that the work may have the
dement, OF supervision from the govern
ments best man, may be given reason

more economically.
The other part of this pending leris-
latlon-that Of creating council Of the
arts, to be composed OF eminent archf-
tects, sculptors and painters, who shall
serve in advisory capacity without COM
pensation-is generally recognized AZ OF
the greatest value. Practically all the
European countries have such body, and
even the larger American cities, notably
New York, are so equipped. The purpose
OF such body is to pass on all designs
Tor buildings, monuments, parks. medals,
etc., and to insist that they be really
good according to the best standards. 4
Such body as this IL ii had existed
Tor the last twenty years would not only
nave saved the nation from some of its
worst architectural monstrosities-now
recognized as national disgrace-but
would have saved to the nation millions
OF dollars. The truth of this has been.
demonstrated in older countries, though
there the standards Of public taste were
and still are far higher than ours.

why do normal children dislike SCHOOL,
Because under the present system, the
schools are merely mental factories where
knowledge is crsmmed into the heads OF
the students. The number Of subjects
taught might be reduced and those left in
the curriculum should be vtalized. This
could be done by organized play, in which
the teachers would Systematically inspire
the pupils 70 reap the entire benefits Of
recreation. The teachers also would i'm
prove their usefulness by resting few
hours day from intensive brain labor.

health OF the children would be greatly
