Brazil. and Argentina Buy Fruit
49,. From United States.
increase In Trade Began Before War
But Cutting OF Of Competition
Has Also Helped Business.

Brazil and Argentina together now
take $4,000 barrels Of American apples
and 5000 boxes Of American pears
each year, and the trade IS growing
steadily, says a report on South Amer
lean markets for fresh fruits just is
sued by Uncle Sans bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce. Trade
in other fruits Is less important. but
since the war started American prod
ucts have had the market to them
selves so far as outside competition Is
concerned and have made a very good
impression.
In both Brazil and Argentina the
American apple is supreme in the high
class trade, as 1t is in all parts Of the
world and it's sale is limited only by
the number Of people.who are able to
pay the rather high prices asked for
it. The American pear is especially
well liked in Brazil and sells well,
also, In Argentina. The Brazil ap-
pies and pears appeal to consumers
in much the same manner that trop-
ical fruits appeal to Americans, but
In Argentina, where the climate in the
main closely resembles that of the
United States, American fruits of this
description sell for two entirely diff
ferent reasons, first because they come
during the off season for the native
and New Zealand fruit. and second
because Of their unquestioned quality.
Walter Fischer, author Of the bu-
reau's report, states that practically
all of this trade dates from 1910, the
greatest increase occurring in 1913-14,
go that the war had nothing to do
with its early growth. Since the war
started shipments from Europe have
been largely cut off, and purchases
from the United States have increased
accordingly. Competition with the
cheaper and lower-grade european
fruit will become as keen as ever prob
ably when the war is over, but the
American shipper need have little fear
for his fancy apple and pear trade, it
Is declared.
The west coast of South America Is
not so good market for foreign
fresh fruits as Brazil and Argentina,
but the author states that more bust
ness can be obtained If careful atten-
ton is given the subject.

LARGE AREA IS IRRIGATED
Uncle Sam Now Furnishes Water for
Raising Of Crops on at Least
.- 1000 900 Acres, It Is Estimated.

Secretary Lane of the department
Of interior announces that the 1916
census of the government reclamation
projects shows an irrigable area Of
land within these projects Of 1896
600 acres. OF this acreage water was
actually furnished to and crops har-
vested on 925.S0O acres. The value Of
the crops was approximately $685.
100000, or an average Of $685. per
acre cropped. The value Of the crops
as shown by the preceding years CEN
sus was S1S.OOO,OOO. or an average of
$24 per acre cropped.
In addition to this, Uncle Sans
reclamation projects also furnish wa
ter to outlying areas served by private
canals. 1t is estimated that altogeth-
er the government projects are now
furnishing water actually used on at
least 100000 acres.

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE

J Dedicated to Howard II. Gross by
c. W. Stewart, Chicago. Copy
J right 1917.
\ Uncle Sam, it's time to hustle
And to give the boys chance
For the training and the muscle.
Ere your enemies advance;
It is time to ship debaters
TO chautauquas in the woods
And to swap your watchful walt
J For the workers with the
J goods.
Refrain.
( Oh, give the boys chance, Sam!
Oh, give the boys chance;
To meet the foe with equal show
Whenever they advance:
The boys are just as willing
AS their fathers used to be;
So give the boys chance, Sam,
A chance for victory.
Preparedness is science
And the practice of the same
And the only safe reliance
Is n knowledge Of the game;
Give them discipline and training
All, the rich and poor the
same,
And the knowledge they'll be
gaining
Will be useful in the main.
\ Refrain
Sam, don't act like bonehead,
Or Midas in trance;
J Don't think to make soldier
With IN army blouse and

Do not think to win A battle
With a mob Of soldier clothes
Rounded up like driven cattle
BY a man who never knows.
Refrain.

 of California, the latter being the Chairman of the Board. The ranking officer of the Company who will build the ships is Major-General George w. Goethals of the Panama Canal fame. This officer is expected to bring his rare administrative talent into the work.
 The wooden shipbuilding industry in this country went into decline many years ago, but there are hundreds of yards along the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Coasts whose owners are eager | to qualify for parts of the contract.
 The yards vary in size with capacity for building from one to twenty five
 ships at a time. The labor supply for these yards is one of the serious prob
 lems of the enterprise for wooden
 shipbuilding Is as much an art as a trade and the skill has waned with the industry. However. in the aggre-
 gate the country can still boast of a considerable number of skilled work CTS who can be distributed through the yards where they are most needed

building, which has brought about this new plan of wooden ship eet. The unprecedented shortage aofr rsteel tonnage. ddslt6 the eeh6orrinHoas destruc- ton of vessels, as the result of the European War. has naturally increased abnormally the cost of steel vessels, and due to the active entrance of for eign buyers in the American market. the output of all the leading steel ship yards in this country that will not be required for Government purposes has already been taken, covering q period of nearly two years in advance. As a consequence of this, the attention of those needing vessels has again been turned to the wooden ship, with the result that the industry of wooden shipbuilding has not only been re- vived along the Atlantic seaboard. but | in all parts of the country where labor and material conditions are favorable new wooden shipbuilding enterprises l have been started. Many of these are capable of turning out large vessels.
 and there is at the present time a great number of wooden ships actually
 under construction. Most of these will be operated by the Deisel or semi-
 Deisel engine. At present 1t is pos-
 sible to have built a wooden motor
 vessel capable of carrying from $500
 to .4,00o tons of cargo. within a period
 of nine per cent. lower than equivalent steam steel tonnage which could cer-' tainly not be secured on an earlier delivery than fifteen months
 Coming from this authority. it would
 seem that the argument in favor of 1.-the wooden craft is very strong for our present needs.
 In regard to the matter of struc- tural steel and the part it has played in the promotion of wooden shfpbuild- i ing lately, few figures wifi make the
 conditions clear. In July. 1914. the
 price of steel ship plates in this coun- Itry averaged s25 a long ton. year Ilater the cost was s2s.67. and in July of 1916. the price quoted was $64.96.
 The cost of structural steel has ad-
 vanced with the same rapidity, All
 our steel is needed in the construction lof our battleships and the yards en- Tagged in this work are already taxed Ito their capacity. The wooden lip
 served our ancestors for many years,
 even as battleships. and there is no treason to believe that they will not
 do so again. and by their rapid con- lstruction replace the millions of tons

yards along the coast The managers of these Gulf shipyards declare that the wooden crafts they build can le cost of repair work begins to tell on the profits. and they are ready to vie with any section of the country in their l rapddity in turning out vessels.
 At Orange, Texas, on the Sabine River five shipyards are rushing work with entirely satisfactory labor on- ditions. The weather in this section is such that the men are able to work every day. As Orange was opened as a port in January of 1916, the rapid development of the shipyards there | is hopeful sign that the wooden l fleet may be speedily built for this is but a sample of the energy that the South is exhibiting in this national crisis.
 New England has long figured as the leader in wooden shipbuilding and many of the famous clipper and frig- ates went down the ways of these yards. The managers are rushing their present contracts in order to . ready to take up the Governn. ent work. So all over the. country the yards stand ready to mobilize their workmen for work on the great fleet which Is expected to break the sub- marine blockade and win the wa-.
 Manned by Students.
 Another merit of these small wooC- en ships is that they take fewer men las crew, only thirty five being need ] on deck and in the engine room. All the ships will carry gunners' crew an1 be armed with rapid fire batter i. ies. Chairman Denman expects a call to be made to the young men of the semi-military colleges of the middle West to man the guns of the wooden freighters. This may be a two-fold value to the United States. for besides protecting our food carriers, the serv- ice will give these boys an experience which after the war is over may serve
 the country we'll by spreading the
 gospel of big merchant marine and great navy which has heretofore beer
 blocked by the representatives of the
 middle West. Meanwhile. the con. struction of steel ships will go on a. well. although it will be slow as com.
 pared with the turning out of t.-e wooden fleet.

from good machine shops all over the
 country. A thousand wooden ships

from good machine shops all over the country. A thousand wooden ships will mean an almost continuous ferry service across the Atlantic to the var ious ports of England, France and Italy. The lowness and 1ightness of these ships will not be conspicuous targets for submarines and are ex- pected to be effective carriers O.. ac- count of sheer numbers. Then too, the size and draUIht of the wooden craft will enable her to sail narrow and shallow waters and make smaller ports where ammunition and food- stuffs are so much needed.
 For this reason the small wooden ships were found useful dufing our Civil War. These small water craft were so successful that 500 ton gum boats were constructed by the Fed era1 Government for maneuvering on the shallow rivers in the South. These little boats followed Farragut at New Orleans aad Mobile Bay. When the war was over 1t was found that they were too light for ocean cruises, but they were a wise investment and served their purpose for the time be- ing. History may repeat itself in the case of our fleet of wooden emergency freighters, for if they are able to stem the ruthless German submarine cam paign they will be worth their price te the Allies and the United States.
 1 Sections Vie with Each Other.
 Many of these ships will be built or the Pacific Coast owing to the plentf fulness of lumber and labor in that section. Then, too, the completed ships can be filled with lumber and be sent to the Atlantic seaboard by way of the Panama Canal. It is estimated that in this way. each vessel may carr about $40,000 on it's initial trip whicf
 will pay< for the voyage and net 2 handsome profit as well. The Gu,l States too are making bids for thu wooden ship contracts because there lis an abundance Of cypress and yellow pine in Louisiana, both of which ] ;a.-, ideal material for ship construction and is within easy reach of the ship.
