IN view farmers are asked to fill out the blank below as
soon as their harvesting has proceeded sufficiently to
give them an accurate line what the yield will be- By
special arrangement the information gathered in this
manner will be tabuated and given to the government
crop reporting officials thus helping them adjust their
estimates as to the actual yield 1t desirable to get the
exact truth as to the situation and the cooperation of
farmers will be appreciated

into q swamp. where they killed n great
number of them. 1t was Mendoza who
founded Asuncion. He built fort
here in 1887, eighty-three years before

The first man to come up the Para

When he reached the borders of Para

America He then turned back and
started up the Paraguay. He was TWEEN
tyfour miles below the present site of
Asuncion when he was attacked by a
band of Indians in 300 canoes He
trained his cannon upon them and
drove them away.
He then went on up past Asuncion
where he met more Indians. who were
described as gentle and docile Some
of them had bits of gold. and this made
him think he was near the rich mines
of Peru or near the Indies. He took
some of the Guarani Indians with him
and sent them to Spain with a few Of
his followers. He sent with them some
of the productions of Paraguay and
begged for reinforcements that he
might continue his expedition. At that
time the wealth of Peru was pouring
into Spain. The government and people
were mad for gold, and the beauty and
agricultural wealth of Paraguay was
not enough to attract the additional
forces that Ca bot desired. 1t was over
ten years before the advent OF Mendoza
