seriously wounded.

schmidt who, although himself
wounded in the arm at the time, car
ried me out from under heavy shell
firing. l don't know how the dickens
he got me out without being hit"

SAYS GERMANS FIRED BADLY
StOker on British Cruiser Tells How

Sheffield Correspondence OF London

A Sheffield sailor, a first-class sto-
ker on a light cruiser that took part
in the naval action in the NORTH Sea.
Sunday, who is nome on a short leave
Of absence, tells a vivid story of the
engagement.
THE battle cruisers he said, did
the work. Once the enemy were
sighted. the light cruisers fell back,
according to orders, though you must
bear in mind hat before the fight

rounding up to do.

opened fire. soon the din was ire
mendous. The heavy firing lasted
probably two hours. The Germans
made a gallant fight of it, but their
shooting was reckless and somewhat
wild. They fired faster han our
men did. Our chaps were wonder
fully ool and steady. and their shots
hit the target. 1t was a good light
and a calm sea, and they were able
to make excellent practice. When it
comes to straightforward fighting,

and, as a result, far fewer were saved

Argentina is already the chief corn
exporting country of the world. 1t is
now sending out something like AGO.
900, 900 bushels a year. This is about
o~ne-seventh OF u present corn crop,
but our corn is almost all fed at
home. The Argentine has not begun
TO develop it's corn lands. The whole
northern part Of the republic will
raise maize, and the pork industry is
one of the great possibilities OF the
future.
In addition to wheat and corn, Ar
gentina is exporting oats to the value
Of $40, O00, 600 a year. She raises vast
quantities of linseed. She is second
among the sheep countries Of the
world, having ten sheep for every
| man, Woman and child of her popu-
lation She stands third in her num-
| Der OF cattle, having 100000 head,
which are valued at something like
$500, 600, 900. She has more horses
| to her area than any other land upon
| earth, and she raises some Of the
| finest horses now known. She has
$500, 900 such animals, with a value
OF 500, 100000.

These figures will give you some

US see where the crops come from. SO
| far they are mostly raised in the CEN
trail and northern parts Of the repub-
lie, where lie the beds Of rich soil
built up by that wonderful system OF
streams that empty into the RIO de Ia
Plata. South America has four great
rivers hat form a vast drainage sys-
tenn for all the lands south OF the
Amabon valley. Each OF these rivers
is loaded with silt and for ages it
has been carrying down the plant
food from the highlands. The
streams all told drain a country larg-
CT than the basin of the Mississippi
and, in fact, half as large as the
United States proper. 1t is the drain
ing Of the territory that mas mace Iof
