Much Like Western Frontier.
The western half of the Argentine
Republic is thinly settled and the viii
lagos are far apart. The crowds we
saw at the stations were like those of
our western frontier, and many of the
people looked as though they had just
come from the immigrant ships. ] saw
Spaniards and Italians by the score, and
mixed with them were the gauchos or
Argentine cowboys.
The people were clad mostly in cot
tons The men had on caps and jack
cts and fun trousers upheld by belts
or strings at the waist The legs were
tied at the ankles. Some Of the men
of the better class had on leggins or
boots.
The women wore bright cOlored cal
leo dresses, with skirts which reached
only to the tops Of their shoes. Their
heads were bare or covered with shawls.
They resembled the peasants of south
eastern Europe. About the stations
horses were tied and we could see men
galloping across the fields and over the
roads.
Region of Vast Pasture Lind.
Passing out of the alfalfa country,
we entered a region of pastures inter-
spersed with fields of indian corn.
Some of the fields were almost bound
less, and the green stretched out from
each side Of the track like mighty
sea. The pastures have grass a foot
high, and the corn is in blossom.

Mr.. Editor when encrOached to

Where the Grains Come From.
These figures viii give you some
idea of the Argentine crops. Now let
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
that form a vast drainage system for
all the lands south Of the Amazon val
ley. Each of these rivers is loaded
with silt and for ages it has been car
highlands.
The streams all told drain a country
larger than the basin of the Mississippi
and, in fact. half as large as the United
States proper 1t is the draining of this
territory that has made fat the Argen-
tine pampas.
The best lands lie along the rivers.
but the soil is rich all the way to tie
Andes and it is so free from rocks that
there are tracts over which YOU can
travel for a hundred miles without
finding pebbles enough for game Of
jack-stones.
Hundred Bushels of Corn to Acre.
In the northern part of the republic
the scenery changes To get some idea
Of it, YOU must imagine yourself IN
Florida or other parts Of the far south.
Here the country is warmer. There are
more Cornfields and great plantations
of sugar cane
The province of Tucuman has soil
which produces a hundred bushels OF
corn to the acre and which is now
yielding all the sugar consumed in the
Argentine Republic II has also big
pastures devoted to cattle and horses.
In the northern part Of it are tropical
treies. and still farther north on the
frontier. is a region called the Chaco.

both are supporting millions Of live
stock. Each raises enormous Quanti-
ties Of grain, and both are exporting
food to the rest of the world. They are
already competitors in the selling Of
meat. wheat and flour. and also in the
selling of wool. OF late years, how
ever, we have been growing so fast
that we are turning from farming to
manufacturing.
Nay Feed the United States.
As it is now, We can hardly supply
meat for ourselves. and we will soon
have to cease the exporting of wheat
The most of our land is already in cuI-
tivation, and in the future we may have
to look to the Argentine to fill our
bread baskets. This country already
stands sixth among the wheat pro-
ducers Of the world It's annual crop is
100 600, 600 bushels. but this comes from
only one-fifth of the territory upon
which wheat can be grown. If all the
wheat lands here were in use. even
with the present poor methods of farm
ing. the Argentine would yield from
S00,OO0,00O to 1.000,OOO,00o bushels of
wheat every year.
Lead in Corn Exports
Argentina is already the chief corn
exporting country of the world 1t is
now sending out something like 4O0,-
GO0.O 600 bu-hels a year. This is about
One-seventh of our present corn crop.
but our corn is almost all led at home.
The Argentine has not begun to de-
velop it's corn lands. The whole north
ern Fart of the republic win raise
maize. and the pork industry is one of
the great possibilities of the future
In addition to wheat and corn. Ar
gentiua is exporting oats to the value
of 10000, 900 q wear. 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 population. She
stands third in her number of cattle
having 80 900 head. which are val
ued at something like S5O0,000.OO0. She
has more horses to her area than any
other land upon earth, and she raises

! from here every fortnight loaded with
beef and mutton for the markets Of
New York.
The country Is beginning to ship but
ter abroad. and in the future it win
probably be sending us both flour and
corn. Indeed the food lands of the
Argentine are beyond conception enOr-
nous and they already compare favor
ably with ours in their agricultural
production.
Is Smaller Than the United States.
The country is much smaller than the
United States, but there are fewer
waste lands and the farming conditions
are better The climate is such that
cattle and horses can feed out of doors
all the year round and the summers
are hot enough to raise corn. One Of
the great possibilities of the future is
in corn and hogs. As to the grain
lands, they are now producing exports
to the value Of a quarter of billion
dollars and are only at the edge Of
their beginning.
The Argentine has better climate
than the United States. Both cOun-
tries lie in the temperate zone, although
one is far north and the other far south
Of the equator At noon in Argentina
your shadow falls toward the south. in
the United States it falls toward the
north. Our cold lands of Argentina are
in the far south. We so to Florida and
the West Indies in January TO warm
our chllIed bones, and Tor the same
reason the Argentinian goes to Para
quay and Brazil in his cold month of
July.
The seasons here are the opposite of
ours. In Buenos Ayres January is mid
summer and August midwinter In the
United States you must have a south
ern exposure to get the sun during the
cold weather; in the Argentine Repub-
lie, for the same reason, you want win
dows facing the north If you go
north in the United States by and by
YOU reach the ice. If you go north in
Argentina you are soon in the tropics.
The crops of the two countries are
about the same. Each has some Of the
greatest bread lands of the globe, and

Beige Culorcd gahurdinc is used for this

the chosen fabric is covert in one OF
the light tan shades which it is always

of these Irocks. I saw one not long
ago with a plain bodice so short

is made becomingly surplice with long
popular short length and very full.
There is DC belt, as the waist is worn
over the Sk TT and finished like the old
fashioned short basque at the normal
WaiStiiue. \ cunning little hat which
reminded one a little of a Scotch cap
was worn with this dress Tt was of the
same color as the dress and trimmed
with a band of grOsgrain ribbon
which ended I'm streamers in the back.
A veil was worn over the hat, coming

TO float away from the face.
Another material which is used for
this type Of frOck to wear beneath top
coat. for street or outdoor wear is
serge. The finer weave Of serge is
best for a frOck as it is usually lighter
of weight and more supple than the
heavier tWilled qualities. Navy blue is
the most popular color in this fabric at
the present time and is often trimmed
with black satin bands and satin COW
cred buttons.
1t may be an afternoon dress that this
suppOsitiOus lady needs. a gown Of fril-
lieF possibilities for dressy occasions
to wear to a reception. to an afternoon
bridge party, TO an informal dinner and
other similar occasions. A dress which
would fit charminEly into any Of these
places is one of the CalIot sisters latest
creations. The skirt is Of midnight blue
chiffon velvet. The front Of the skirt is
made with a tunic reaching only to a
back panel which extends from neck to
the edge Of skirt. Where this panel and
the tunic meet, however, is not clearly
defined, for the fUlness is so arranged
that it is hidden beneath a fold. The
lower skirt, in one with the panel. is
about two yards I'm width The fronts
and sleeves Of the bodice are OF blue

flared skirt The high collar is trimmed
with braiding. as is the bottom of
the waist and the edges Of the sleeves
Often mothers fail to realize that
their daughters are growing up and
continue TO keep their dresses short
when it makes them look all legs, and
a few afbitiOus mothers err the other
way and start to lengthen their daugh-
ters' dresses too soon. 1t is a happy
medium which must be reached, and
can only be attained by careful thought
as to what is the most becoming length
for the particular figure. II the girl
is tall and slender she needs different
length from the short and stout figure.
There is a great hue and cry about
buying cotton fabrics. The result is
that there are many very handsome cot
ton materials put on the market which
can be used in the winter. Corduroy
is notable example of this. Stunning
corduroy costumes with a luxurious
trimming Of fur defy the winters cold
and give the wearer the comfortable
feeling OF having done his best to sup
port the home industry.
POplins. serges, gabardines are popu-
lar fabrics this season. Serge has be-
come a standby-it may be bought rs
low as fifty cents a yard in narrow
widths up to four and five dollars a
yard for the wider widths. But the
most popular of all suitings is covert.
The cOlOrs are usually in the tan shades
but it is also made in other cOlors, such
as dark blue, black and green.

Most Of the estates are enormous, and
many contain tens of thousands Of
acres. One Of the most noted is La Pas

IT are feeding $1,000 head of Durhams

with % 900 head of stock, and n littla

which zoo acres only are devoted to
grain. The rest is in pasture, and it is
now feeding 5000 head Of cattle

Adjoining San JacintO is a little tract
belonging to n young woman, who so
far is unmarried. She owns $4,000
