Chile and Argentina, on the south, occupy an area of over nine million ot square miles, or nearly three times the connected area of the United States; secon that they have population now beyond the mark of one hundred millions, or nearly equal to that of the United States, and increasing more rapidly by re- production than that of this country; third, that they conduct an annual foreign commerce with all the world valued at nearly five and one-half billions of dollars which in its to- tality is greater than half of the total foreign trade of the United States; fourth, their annual com merce with the United States since the World war has averaged nearly two billions of dollars, including both exports and imports, or greater than that with any other country of the world and almost as great as that with any other three countries combined, thus proving its enormous importance to the United States; fifth, Latin America holds to-day in- vestments of nearly five billion dol lars of American capital; sixth, both in commerce and in the investment of capital, Latin America offers STcdleF opportunities to InG CnlCoQ States than any other section of the world; and seventh. Latin America as a group of countrie:, to-day is facing greater possibilities of ma- terial, social and cultural and polit- ical development than any other part of the world and so should re- ceive the most careful attention of the government and people of the United States.
 He also gave a rapid airplane view, as now can be seen by actual airplane travel routes, of the great capital cities, vast plains and moun- tains, mighty rivers of Latin Amer ica, together with a summary of their remarkable cultural and social development such as are not gener- ally appreciated in the United States, and urged the people of Waterbury, ill planning their future travels abroad to include the countries of Latin America. stating that the steamship and hotel facilities to-day are practically as good as those of travel to Europe or Asia.

New Haven, Feb. 23-Character- istics of the soil that have caused farmers since Colonial days to aban- don some land in this state and con centrate in other areas, are described comprenensiyely in new bulletin of the Connecticut agricultural .x- pertinent station. "The Soils of Con- necticut' The author is M. F. Mor- gan. agronpmist in charge of the soils department, who has compiled in this work the results of six years study.
 MT Morgan presents an analysis Of the soils not only in regard to their physical and chemical compo- | sition, hut in regards to the crops that can te grown most profitabiy on them. Fifteen areas typical of conditions throughout the state we've intensively surveyed and maps were prepared showing tho distribution of crops, pasture. forest and other uses of the Iaud. These surveys were sup- plemented 5y maps of 190 dairy farms and by extensive studies of soils and crops throughout the state. Best Adapted Crops
 Each agricultural enterprise is listed according to the soils to which

 A colored outline soil map at the back of t..e bulletin discloses tha: the Wetlersfield soils are in the central part of the state, mostly .he south center, and that Charlton sol-s lie for the most part in the western third, although they are dotted throughout Connecticut.
 One section of the bulletin des- cribes the soils mentioned, how they were formed and what their proper ties are. Charlton loam. it appears, supports commercial orchards. but the leading enterprise on this soil is dairyinG. because of the favorable conditions for grass hay and silaSe | corn.

 Connec .icut has a relatively good nitrogen supply in most of her soils, MT Morgan found, but the pastui areas, which in large way support the dairy industry, are in serious condition ,n resptc to their supply of phosphurous. These areas have been depleted during the past 200 years and are rarely fertilized.
