Bilbao offers opportunItIe..

Bilbao is said to be the wealthiest
city in Spain. the wealthiest of its size
in Europe. This is due to its large
deposits of iron ore and their close
proximity to tidewater. The province
in which 1t is situated has proven ore
fields of more than 1900 acres and
more than 1900 acres are not yet de
veioped. The ore is rich In iron, prac
tically free from phosphorus and Is
easily worked-what is known in this
country as scraper proposition. The
great war has vastly increased the
capitalization of the concerns operat
ing there and the banks Of Bilbao have
deposits of 1854. 78S. 719, apart from the
resources of the Bank of Spain and
branches of other powerful banks. The
field for development is great, the cap
italists are progressive, labor is cheap
Spain has remained neutral In the war
though no friend of Germany, and il
: Is thought the Bilbao iron fields will
offer an attractive sphere for American
engineering talent and American cap
ital after the war.

Farm Gardens.

The farm garden idea did not start
with our entry into the war, but had
its inception In 1914. when the Won
ems Farm Gardens association was
formed. AT first the association bus
led itself to obtain positions for women
in farm and garden work. After we
got into the war and the dangers of a
food shortage threatened, the assocl.
alton began work along the lines of the
department of agriculture in England
which encouraged the filling of small
pieces Of land. going so far as to give
out allotments to those who will till
them. The boy scouts and other bod
les have done much this year along
the line of war gardening.
