continent. Its width varies from about
100 miles in the south to $50 in the
north, II its area is nearly twice
that of California.
An idea of the physical condition
and economic development of this vast
area can be conveyed best perhaps by
the statement that Patagonia is to
Argentina what the great West and
the Southwest were to the United
States just after the Civil war. There
was the myth of the great American
desert thenra dry. cheerleSs country
that could be reclaimed. But
with the extension of railroads, farms,
ranches and irrigation systems this
North American desert is diSap-
pearing.
Just so Patagonia was labeled a
desert for many years; but farms and
irrigation works have already rescued
great enclaves from the region and
millions of head of cattle and a score
of million sheep are supported today
on only portions of the area. After a
few thousand more miles of railway

hundred team shovels shall have been

Darwin Gave Region Black Eye.
1T is IN interesting fact that the
statement of a careful scientist
Charles Darwin-did much to give
Patagonia an undeservedly bad repu-
tation before the world. Darwin
studied chiefly the forbidding desert
coast Of the lower portion of the coun-
try, and his discouraging report was
interpreted as applying to the entire
country. For decades no one thought
it worth while v to explore the
hinterland.
1T is westward beyond the semi
pampas or plains that the most
and least thoroughly
known portions of Patagonia are
found. Along the eastern slopes of
Andes and in some Of the valleys
between its parallel ranges is a scenic
and climatic paradise. Grassy meadows
and forest-clad slopes alternate with
sheer cliffs and towering, snowman
tied peaks, and scattered everywhere
are innumerable sparkling streams and
lakes. This is, in fact, one
Of the most extensive and most won
lerful lake regions in the world. A
