BoNFIREs OF STRAW.

While We are talking about COW
er crops to increase the humus In
the soil the department of agri-
culture states that last year H.
613,000 tons Of straw were burn
ed. This burning was mostly
done In the northwest, there be-
ing little value for straw In that
section. A ton Of wheat straw
contains ten pounds Of nitrogen,
three of phosphoric acid and
twelve of potash. The latter are
saved in the ashes, but the nitro
gen is lost in the burning. Think
what these great bonfires mean
in the loss Of plant food. With
the estimate given above and
ten pounds to the ton we have
100000 pounds lost. This is
equal to more than 5000, 900 tons
Of nitrate OF soda. These wastes
correct themselves as agricul-
ture grows older. Thirty years
ago we used to see the same fires
in Colorado. Now they are using
chemical fertilizers on that same
land.-Rural New Yorker.

Congress of Guatemala met and
declared void the annexation to
Mexico; proclaiming the indie
pendence of the country and took
again the republican form of Go
vernment. General Filisola was
sent from Mexico with a large
army, to reduce the Central Amer
lean countries into submission.
They had to fight the people
everywhere, and finally gave up
the struggle.
There have been several good
men who have guided the desti-
mics of the country since that date
and history records their deeds.
During the years that have pass
ed since the dawn OF indepen-
dence of curse there have been
troublous times and the country
has been torn by internal and civ
il strife. But there also are the
records of high deeds done by the
country when in times of peace ii
had opportunity to think on the
ways of brotherly kindness. Not
able was the abolition of slavery,
which was accomplished in that
country without the shedding OF
blood. 1t is a crown of glory
which Guatemala wears in that
she was the first country in the
world to abolish slavery by Off
cial national act in 1921, long be
fore the United States ever
thought OF giving freedom to the
negroes.
During the past hall of a cen
tury the country has made pro-
gress and especially during the
past twenty five years. Railroads
have been planned and built, Civ
ing transportation for the pro-
ducts of the country; schools have
been permanently established
hospitals have been founded; just
laws have been enacted; stable
governments formed; and if no
great calamity is awaiting the
near future OF the country, Qua
temala will stand on a high plane
in the sisterhood of nations.
1t is not necessary 20 mention
the various deeds of statesman
ship which have been performed
by the rulers Of the country dur
ing recent years. Suffice it to say
that President Estrada Cabrera,
the present ruler of Guatemala, is
striving to give to the country
such a stable government as that
enjoyed by some OF the other La
tin-American countries in the
New World.

THE MINING RESOURCES
OF THE N

Although there has not been
said a great dea in foreign lands
concerning mining in the Repu-
bic of Guatemaa a, yet when one
looks carefully into the history OF
mining OF the country, there is a
story full in romance and tragedy
as we'll as heroic deeds and I'm
firing energy in the search for the
rich ores of the mountain sides
which have given large wealth to
a number OF mining companies.
The records of the country
show that as early as 1920 there
was an English company who en-
gagged in mining in Guatemala and
found nuggets of gold weighing
no less than two pounds. The
mines were rich bringing inn
mense wealth to the owners.
There were other mines of the
country at a little later date which
were so rich that it was stated
that the owners could have
bought outright some of the king
doms of Europe with the proceeds
of the workings.
Among some of the richer
mines which have recently come
into existence mention should be
made of the San Pantaleon-Alto-
tepeque, from which more than
$40, 000, 900 gold, have been taken
during the past twenty years.
There T also some good placer
mines of the country which are
being exploited and with improv-
ed machinery it is thought that
great riches will be unearthed.
The various mineral belts of
the country produce gold, silver,
lead, zinc, copper, quicksilver and
coal. There are also sulphur
mines which produce more than
enough for domestic consumption.
Mining experts who have exa-
mined the country declare that
there is every proof hat the
mountains countain great bodies
of low grade ore which with pro-
per milling and smelling facilities
and economical shipping by rail
will produce good returns to the
operators. Guatemala only awaits

A REAL PARADISE

The story of the Republic of
Guatemala is one of the most in
tereSting of all the Central Amer
lean countries. Its history is as
varied as the coloring of the many
hued tropical plants which grow
luXuriantly in the bounds of the
land.
Bounded on the two sides bv
the great waters of the two oceans
there come the great steamers of
the seas, discharging and taking
on the cargoes of commerce,
thus putting the country in direct
touch with the great markets of
the world. In these ports where
great ships now ride in peace and
safety, formerly there came the
buccaneer and the pirate bringing

country is about 100000 per
sons, scattered throughout an
area Of 1914 square miles of ter
ritory.
Geographically, the country lies
between 49,. AS and 17'.49'. N.
latitude, and between So ,1O' and
90 30 f. longitude. Lying in
this latitude one would expect the
climate to be disagreable and, at
certain seasons, almost unbear-
able; although bounded on two
sides by the oceans and in the
torrid zone, yet in the greater
part of the area of the country the

climate is all that one could ask
The breeZeS from the oceans are
tempered on rising to the high
plateaus, and the elevated plains
have a delightful climate through
out the entire year. At Guatema-
la City, which lies in IN elevated
plain, 1000 meters $500 feet
above sea level, the climate is
ideal during the entire year. In
deed, the altitude of the Republic
of Guatemala is so varied that one
can find any degree of tempera-
ture from torrid heat at the sea
level at the ocean side, to freez-
ing cold on the high mountain
crests sometimes covered with
snow during the winter season.
The mountain sides are thickly
covered with timber of high qua
lity, of all kinds, many samples
of which have received first prizes
at different expositions. The val
leys are rich in the extreme, and
great abundance characterizeS the
products of the soil when cultivat-
ed on modern lines. The rivers
flow continuously with large cur
rents so that there is ample water
for irrigation, where irrigation IS
required.
The shrubbery of the country
is varied. Or the lowlands, where
tropical heat prevails, the growth
is entirely tropical; on the pla-
teaus the growth of timber and
sh~rubbery is hat OF the temperate
zone of the United States, while
that on the higher heights charac-
terizes the growths of the frgid
zones. The flowers and fruits of
the country are also very varied.
The different elevations of the
land give such a variety of eli
mate, that there is almost every
kind of fruit and flower known to
tropical and temperate chimes to
be found in the fields, orchards
and gardens of Guatemala.
The prevailing winds of the
country are from the North and
Southeast. Those from the North
bring dry weather and the others
bring the mists up from the ocean,
which, upon striking the cooler
stratas of air upon the slopes OF
the mountains are condensed into
rain. On the Atlantic slopes the
rain is pretty well distributed
throughout the enire year, though
