V7ERY early in 1916 | took a little
" walk around a vacant lot that lay
just across the alley from my home,
and resolveds that when summer came
again it should no longer be an eyesore,
but should blossom as the rose and yield
all manner Of delightful things for the
table, instead of its present abundant
crop of briars and tin cans.
While it was still too cold and wet to do
any outdoor work, planned my garden.
The space with which had to work was
sixty by, one hundred and twenty feet.
This was more than was needed for vege-
tables, considering that l had smaller
backyard garden, so | decided to grow
some sweet potato, cabbage, and tomato
plants These always sell readily in our
community throughNApril, May, and June.
Early in February i went to one of our
local wholesale seed men and contracted
with him to grow for him several thousand
sweet potato plants, and told him that
would have cabbage and tomato plants
for sale, too.
Feeling that my market was now as
sured, went ahead with the garden: ~
j had it cleared off and fenced with a
substantial wire fence five feet high. y 1t
was then thoroughly plowed, which is al
ways preferable to spading or digging,
wherever horse can work.
A walk four feet wide, outlined with
stones picked up on the ground, was
made through the middle of the garden,
and rose bushes set out on both sides.
Twelve out Of fourteen bushes lived and
throve, delighting us with lovely roses
the first season.
The first thing planted was English
peas, on February %. cit must be re-
membered that these planting dates are

quainted with the real Latin American
the dignified, courteous man of affairs,
the man who contributes his capital, his
ability, and his best efforts to the up
building of his nation; for he keeps in
the background.
With the use of ordinary Judgment
and due respect for the customs and
habits Of the natives, by simple tact,
ordinary honesty, energy, and small cap
ital, one is sure to succeed in these lands.
The truth of this statement is demon
strated most completely by the fact that
thousands Of Europeans, many of them
uneducated, possessed of no great abil-
ity, and practically without money, have
settled throughout these countries and
established themselves in prosperous oc-
equations, acquiring in relatively short
period Of time sufficient to keep them
in affluence for the remainder of their
lives.

MAGAZINE SECTION for February 4, 1917

But let me warn those contemplating
business life in these fields that the pit
falls are numerous. Life is primitive in
all but the few large capitals and ports;
government officials exasperating, es-
pecially those of the customs; transporter
ton facilities poor; everything expensive;
representation everywhere; disease stalks
through most of the lands; social rules
are more exacting than ours.
Above everything else, it is imperative
that one know the language of the country
wherein he expects to reside, if he wishes
success to crown his efforts; for ability
to speak dramatically the local idiom
brings one in closer contact with the peo-
pie and aids materially in properly inter-
preting their thoughts.
Given such condition Of affairs as
have outlined, it becomes apparent that
Latin America is land for strong
men only-strong mentally, morally,
and physically. 1t is no place for the
waster or the loafer. 1t is without hope
for the tippler or the defective. 1t does
not beckon to the weakling or the
dreamer. But to the man of small cap
ital, a high sense of honor, ambition,
downright integrity, and faith in himself
and his ability to make good, it offers
brilliant prospects.
For women few, if any, opportunities
exist. Schools are scarce and teachers
sadly underpaid. Feminine help is not
employed in Offices Trained nursing is
done almost exclusively by religious or
ders. In short, women in trade are ostra-
cized and looked down upon. Unques-
tionably the larger cities, such as Buenos
Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago Chile,
Montevideo, and Havana, will sooner or
later recognize the fact that special fields
exist in which women are paramount, and
when this time comes the possibilities
for women will be as good as in the United
States. | am sure, however, that this day
is not at hand

matoes. These were set very deeply, and
bore abundantly all summer Being set
so deeply, the hot, dry weather did not
affect them at all.
The wire fence gave me 800 feet of sup
port for pole beans, of which plantedtwo
varieties, the white creaseback and the
Texas pole.
sold my sweet potato plants at good
price The cabbage and tomato
plants did well, and the demand was
greater than the supply.
Late in October bought the sash from
an old building that was being torn down,
for almost nothing, and from this and
some old lumber my two boys and / con-
structed some hot-beds and cold-frames.
All winter these gave us lettuce, spinach,
parsley, and green's; mixture of mustard
and turnips.
My actual net cash return from my
vacant lot garden, not to mention the
fresh vegetables enjoyed by. the family
all the year, was 1854.
Gardening certainly does pay.

HAVE spent eighteen years of my life
in Latin America. | know it as you

south of the Rio Grande, not once but
many times. From Mexico to Patagonia
have been in Indian villages, small towns,
big cities, and busy ports. am repeat
eddy asked, what are the opportunities
for an American in Latin American" My
answer invariably is the same: eff you
are the right type of man, Latin America
offers exceptional chances to amass a
fortune with minimum of effort
Latin America comprises twenty dis
tinct States, with population estimated
between sixty-fve and seventy-fve mill
ions. The majority of the inhabitants are
Indians, mixed breeds, negroes, and
comparatively small proportion of whites,
excepting Uruguay, Chile, and the Argen-
tine, where the Caucasian predominates.
In all of these countries Spanish is spoken,
excepting Brazil, where Portuguese is the
language.
Every one of these republics is in the
process of development and expansion.
They have in profusion the things the
busy world most needs They are the
largest producers Of raw materials. Their
mines are the richest known to man.
Some have been worked literally for thou
sands of years and are still productive.
Their broad fields are destined to make
them the granaries of the world, while
their extensive acreage means that they
will contribute largely to its meat supply.
Their vast virgin forests will enable them
to provide humanity with cabinet and
other woods for centuries. Large and
small rivers afford easy and cheap means
for transportation, and can be converted
into power, heat, and light generators.
All Latin America is in the process of
awakening. Railways are being built;
natural resources exploited; agricultural
methods modernized; municipal and

Latin Americans will never be inventors
or manufacturers Climatic conditions,
racial and inherited traits, make them fol-
low the lines of least resistance, and they
have become farmers on large scale, or
cattle-raisers. Comparatively few enter
commercial life. Their markets are easily
reached. Their credit is good. Possess
ing the things the world most requires,
wheat, cereals, meat, coffee, cocoa,
sugar, rubber, wool, nitrates, minerals,
woods, they are relatively immune from
any great financial crisis.
Socially, Latin Americans may be di-
vided into two great classes-the poll
tician and the business man. The former
lives by exploiting his country and his
countrymen. He has the interest Of
neither at heart. To his door may be
traced all the revolutions and other dis
turbances in these places. On the con-
trary, the merchant and estate owner has
