S. J., Gustafson. president of the state
Farmers union. raised a rumpus at the
state meeting Of Commercial clubs today
by stating that the farmers did not want
any suggestions or help from the people
in town. did not want any assistance
from farm demonstrations, and that they
were not in favor Of doing anything to
Increase the production of crops. for. with
more crops. the rices would be lower.
Captain Allen @. Fisher in his oharao-
teristic way called MFR. Gustafson for his
stand and asked him IL he did not believe
in doing anything to make Nebraska a
better state. Others jumped onto Mr..
Gustafson and criticized him unmerci-
fully. However. Gustafson still insisted
that the farmers didn't want any help
from the town fellows, and didn't want
them coming out into the country and
telling them how to farm.
Congressman Dan Stephens addressed
the club before luncheon. His talk was
mostly along the lines of government
ownership of railroads and the merchant

If they come. they should come in large
colonies. taking up considerable lands and
bringing the capital necessary to develop
ment. AS individual settlers they would
have to live with people whose language
would be difficult to learn. and without
which they could have little intercourse
or society. The common people of Brazil
understand only the Portuguese.
AS for me, l do not believe that South
America Is good place for the Yankee
who fiocks by himself. The man. who
comes should bring society with him, and
he should not come without enough capi-
tai to give the experiment a fair trial.
Very few Americans who have emigrated
here have made good in the accumulation
of money or in the attainment Of happy
lives. OF the hundreds of Americans
from the southern states who left our
country at the close of the civil war, mono
of those who came to Brazil did better
than he could have done at home. and
today nearly all the United States citi-

Nevertheless Brazil has not one-fourth

The general idea is that Brazil is an

or part of it is tropical. This is not
true. The equator runs through the re-

; river, and the lands farther south are
so high above the sea that they have
temperate climate. Here in Sac Paulo
the weather for a great part of the
year is like that of California. This
! state raises about the same crops as
the central states of the Union, and
farther south there are grain lands and
cattle lands which compare with those
of Illinois and Iowa. Farther west in
the highlands of Matto Crosse, there
are hundreds of thousands of acres of
prairies the grass of which is as high
as your waist. Upon some parts of
that region the cattle run wild. An
American syndicate has taken up some

and 1t has some colonies that are
nominally American. One of these is
at Faxina. That colony has three
American families and large number
of Germans and English, having a
population altogether of $500. The
colony owns $1,000 acres. about half of
which is in timber. The lands have
been divided up into farms of from
sixty to 100 acres and there are thirty
families who are engaged in farming
and in hog and cattle raising. The
company has established a model hog
farm there from which 1t supplies hogs
to its colonists. allowing them to pay
for them on installments. The breeds
are Tamworths from England and
Poland-Chinas and Duroc-Jerseys from
kentucky. One of the American resi-
dents of that colony is an engineer
who came to Brazil to work on the
railroad. He has 800 acres of land
and is doing well with his hogs. Faxina
is situated in the state of Sac Paulo
