In 1880 the congress of Mexico is.
sued an order that none of the state
documents should be indicted upon
any material other than the paper
made from maguey. This is the ma.

that the very word Mexico was derived
from the word mex-til, which means
maguey.

century plant, from the popular fall

tury, whereas 1t really blossoms every
eight years.
The stalk of the blossoms reaches
to the height of 25 feet and looks like
giant candlestick, for it carries often
as many as several thousand blooms.
Many fields of maguey miles in length
are to be found in Mexico, and there

ANCIENT FARM PLAN

gives mortgage to a bank and re-
ceives in return an open account for a
certain amount of credit. Thus a
farmer who considers that he needs
a credit of $4,000 to operate his farm
gives a mortgage for that amount to
the bank. AS he needs the money
he draws on the bank He pays in
terest only on the amount on which he
borrows.
For the longtime loans of the farm
ers the savings banks are allowed to
invest up to 30 per cent. of their de-
posits in farm mortgages. These mort
cages are Of two classes-for periods
up to ten years and for periods of
from 10 to 80 years.
The shorter-term mortgage loans are
repaid by the borrowers in one lump
sum, as in the United States. but
the longerterm loans are repaid by
amortization-that is, small annual
payments made upon the principal of
the loan. The banks are only per
mitted to charge borrowers one-half
per cent more than they are required
to pay depositors. At the present
time the prevalent rate is FIVE per
cent, though generally it is four per
cent. Money is only loaned up to so
per cent of the appraised value of
the land.
There is also mortgage bank in
Florence. the Monte di Paschi, found
ed by one Of the early dukes of Flor
enCe. This bank issues mortgage de-
bentures at three and one-half. four
and one-half and five per cent. Most
of the debentures now outstanding
are at five per cent. They sell a
trifie under par, which is the usual
condition in Italy, and their market
price compares favorably with gov
ernment bonds.
The cooperative societies for pur
chase among the land owners have
been successful. The farmers them
selves do not belong to these socie-
ties, but the landowners do all pur-
chasing of farm machinery and fertil- |
izer. These societies are also active
in educational work, and maintain ag-
ricultural experts, who travel about |
from village to village instructing the
farmers in scientific agricultural |
methods.

Bananas From Brazil.

Brazil, encouraged by the great
northern demand for bananas, is go.
ing to enter upon the cultivation of
that fruit in large way. An Amer
ican company has been organized to
operate"in the state of Parana. From
day to day the lands of the valleys of
the Cubatao and Cubataozinho rivers
are being transformed into banana
plantations of great extent. The
American company will sell portions
Of this land and distribute banana cut
tings to agrlculturists who will de-
velop their plantations with full assur-
ance of the ready transportation Of
their product The company will buy
or charter special vessels in sufficient
quantity to transport this fruit.

the closest possible attention to every

themselves to be good agriculturlsts,
but in developing agriculture they
have sacrificed the forests on land
which could be cultivated and at the
same time have neglected to plant for.
ests on the now barren mountains.
This has been because the govern
ment has taken no interest in the sub
ject, and forestry on anything like a
national scale is too big a proposition
for individual enterprise. even II in
Ckina there had been a spirit Of en-
torprlse One Of the signs of the new

Florence, Italy.-At the beginning
of its investigation of cooperative
banking societies the American COM
mission on agricultural cooperation,
assembled by the Southern CONNER
cial congress, had the advantageous
experience of first visiting a part Of
Europe where cooperative banks had
not made much headway.
Agricultural cooperation is prac-
uced in only one form In the country
about Florence-societies for the pur-
chase of agricultural machinery, fer
tilizer, seeds, etc. This is CAiely due
to the fact that In the early days the
merchants of Florence were the land
owners, and their estates were farmed
on share basis by the peasants.

was captured by a squad OF govern

Guatemala, the haven of safety he was
seeking.
After a brief court-martial, Drum

set. He was backed up close to a low
wall. beyond which were jungle and
thick woodland
Ranking as a general in the insur'

sion that he be allowed to give the
word of command to the soldiers to

The soldiers stood ready with guns
leveled at the doomed man.
"Ready-hre" called Drummond,
and fell just before the flash. The
volley passed over him, and the sol

man whom they thought shot to
death suddenly arising and jumping
over the low wall.
Once in the jungle and protected by
darkness, Drummond made his way
over the borderland and found safety
in Guatemala.
