They go out upon contracts that fiX their

An Interesting part of this employ

in need of a servant she comes to the

one of the chief troubles of the in
coming settler is the way land Is held.
The most of the country is divided up
into very large tracts There are more
than a hundred men here each of whom
owns more than 10000 acres. There
are about 40 who own from $4,000 to
100000 each. and thousand and more
who own from 12.0on to $1,000 acres.
There arc about 10000 who own from
200 to 800 acres. and the holdings are
50 punched together that it is almost
impossible to build up IL population Of
small farmers. 1t will bc ouis by divjd-
ing the big estates that satisfactory
social conditions can he created. and at
the present outlook that condition is
far in the future. The government is
doing what il can to encourage sub
division. and some of the esttncieros
have sold lands to the imm grants. but
the ma jority OF the great estates are
intact.
As to the government lands. the best
of them have gone into the hands OF
rich Argentinos and foreigners. The
total area of the republic is about go
600 900 acres, OF which perhaps half is
fitted for agriculture and grazing. The
deal of which can never be used, and
the most of which belongs to the gov
ernmeut Tnc public lands include ali
told about 2o0,ooo,0o0 acres. OF this,

100000 per annun, and this is SAID to
give the steamship owners Il profit of
about S2J.0o0,000
Nevertheless the bulk of the inni-
grants are permanent settlers The
population of Argentina is now 1000. 900
or S,000,O00. and it has been largely
made up by the new settlers Within the
past fifty years such arrivals have
numbered 100000, and of them one
half has been from Italy and one-third
from Spain The rest has come chiefly
from France, Russia and Syria. The
Germans and Austrians together have
sent about 135.000. and the British
about 10000. whereas the total immi-
grafton from North America during
that time has been less than 5000.
DO not believe that Argentina is a
good place for the individual American
farmer. 1t might be different if a
number of our people could club to-
Sether and bring their families, csta b.
lishlnS large colonies. The domestic
and social life of the Italians and

Careful statistics are kept of the i'm
migrants. Their photographs measure
ments and thumb prints are taken, and
one copy of each record is kept in the
hotel. while another is sent to the po-
lice station nearest where the immi-
grant settles. No one is allowed to
land if he is more than sixty years of age
and has no relative who will be re-
sponsible for his care All immigrants
are examined as to possible diseases,
and the physically defective are re-
turned to Europe. The immigrants
have the right to remain five days
in the hotel. and some of the cities
throughout the interior have arrange
ments for keeping them pending their
employment.
Many of the foreigners who come to
Argentine have no idea of making this
country their permanent home. They
come to work for year or So eN-
pecting then to go back with what
they have saved. Some stay for only a
season. This is true of thousa nds from
northern Italy and northern Spain.

just the opposites of those of the AR
gentine. When it is winter in north
ern italy it is summer in Argentine,
and the men can aid in harvesting the
crops here and go back home for their
spring ploWing. The wages so
much higher that they can pay their
steamer fares and save money. There
are something like 10000 or 10000 inn
migrants VINO return every year. some
have been here for two three years
and have saved enough to buy land at
home. 1t is the great desire of the
Italian to own a little farm in Italy.
The result is that he begrudges every
penny spent away from that country,
cutting his expenses to the bare neceS-
sites of life. and returning in about
the same clothing that he wore upon
his arrival. When he has saved $500
or $500 he is ready to go back home,
and he takes the money with him.
Those who return carry millions of
dollars out of the country. Such men
are known as swallow immigra nts.
They fit back and forth like swal-
lows. They do not confine their work
ing places to Argentina. Some stop off
in Brazil to aid in harvesting the coffee
crop. and thence move on down to
Uruguay and Argentina. There are so
many of these people that the steam
