As the-future price of wheat is-main-
ly dependent upon the Argentina'wheat
crop , to be harvested about December
nextit Is interesting to study the meth
ods of cultivation there. The South
American wheat farms are mostly held
by Italians who use peon labor. Their
methods are primitive and of the
cheapest character , and their expenses
are very small.
That portion of the Argentine repub
lic at present devoted to wheat culture
Includes the provinces of Santa Fe ,
Buenos Ayres and Entre Rios.with the
south portion of the provincce of Cor
doba ( the province corresponding to
the "state" in the United States ) , and
the total area of this stretch of country
is about equal to the combined areas of
England and France. Only about one-
third of the land within convenient
distance of railways already construct
ed being as yet under cultivation , it is
obvious that there is room for consid
erable development even under the
present conditions of transportation.
The surface of this great section of
country is level and free from stones ,
devoid of timber , with few streams ,
having a rich soil , a temperate climate
( average summer temperature 74 de
grees F. , and average winter tempera
ture 57 degrees F. ) , and usually a plen
tiful rainfall , also during the spring
months constantly recurring night
dews.
The general character of the soil Is
the same in all parts , varying some
what In fertility according to the near
ness to or remoteness from the great
river Parana or the estuary known as
River Plate. The soil is composed of a
loose vegetable layer of black loam of 6
to 36 inches in depth , and under this
layer is usually found a deep subsoil
of a clayey , sandy character , and , lower
still , hard clay. This last named strat
um holds the rainfall , enabling the
ground to stand a long drought without
seriously affecting the roots of the
wheat plant. ,
It can be safely stated that an aver
age of favorable seasons may be looked

for , and that a serious failure of the
crop , as in the year 1889 , when , owing
to damage by rain , the export surplus
only amounted to 100,000 quarters , is
unlikely to recur , because the wheat
growing area has extended to such an
extent that it measures some 750 miles
from north to south , and 150 miles east
and west , with somewhat different cli
mates , and including districts as far
apart as London and Madrid , or Min
nesota and Louisiana.
The earliest settlers were Swiss , and
colonists of that nationality are today
among the best farmers in the country ,
living well in every way and proving
themselves successful agriculturists.
The small farmers throughout the
country are almost always Italianswho
originally came from Piedmont or ihe
plains of Lombardy , very few having
either previous knowledge agricul
ture or any capital to start with , but
they are keen for money , and work
hard in their own way , having quite
enough sense to learn from experience
by .slow degrees the best way to grow
wheat , although they are desperately
mean in any expenditure , and have a
strong inclination always to increase
their acreage and trust to a favorable
season.
By working fifteen or sixteen hours
one man can plow two or two , and a
half acres per diem with a single plow ,
or four or five acres on broken land
with a double plow , and if provided
with sufficient bullocks , and urged to
do so by good condition of the land and
suitable weather , will keep up this
work for a considerable time.
At very few of the 200 to 300 railway
stations where wheat is shipped are
found more than the most necessary
buildings , ' such as one or two genf-ral
stores , bakeries and smithies , and ,
very much to the disappointment ottHe
buyers of station lots , there seems no
disposition to build country towns or
create any local industries , except1 for
the making of simple agricultural im
plements , and there are no . local cen
ters or markets.
Land" being very plentiful , and very
easy to work in the Argentine Repub
lic , a family usually take up Crom 250
to 400 acres , and cultivates as much
as they can. The land is bought some
times for cash , or more usuaily to be
paid for by installments spread t.ver
four to seven years ; or is rented by
yearly tenancy ; but under a very gen
eral and most convenient arrangement
land owners are almost always willing
to have their land worked by any de
cent colonist "on shares , " receiving

HAULING WHEAT TO MARKET. I j

from 8 up to 50 per cent of the prod
uct of every crop according to the fa
cilities given to the tenant , and this
r-ystem of working on shares is by far
the most usual , and seems to bo suited
to the present state of the country.
If the tenant is a poor man the land
owner may build the very simple mud
house that shelters the family and also
supply bullocks , plows , seed and sup
plies until the first harvest , and the
landlord then takes 50 per cent of the
crop , but if only the use of land Is
given 8 to 1 per cent of the produce
goes to the land owner as rent ; his pro
portion Is naturally larger on land that
is in a specially favorable position. If
the crop is a failure the tenant may
skip , having lost a year , but the land
owner has had his land broken up , and
is content to put that advantage against
his money loss.
The family would provide themselves
with vegetables from the farm , and
other household expenses and neces
sary clothing would cost about 2 per
month , and can be reduced according
to the frugality and meanness of the
family.
Good land situated conveniently near
to a railway station and within 100
miles of a port , may be valued at 1 ( $5
gold ) per acre , and the farm can be
worked by the colonist , assisted by a
young son and by one hired peon all
the year round , and by two extra peons
at harvest. About 175 acres can be
sown with wheat , and the remainder
of the land used for pasturing the ani
mals and growing a little maize ( corn ) .
Housework will be done by the wife ,
who also looks after some cows an
poultry.
Owing to the want of accurate information
mation from the multitude of smal
farms , it is very difficult to say wha
the average yield per acre really is ii
any year , and , although it has beei
customary to consider that the aver
age Santa Fe is not over 10 to 11 bush
els per acre ( similar to United State
averages ) , probably 13 bushels is near
er the mark for the entire country am
15 for good farms ; because , in recen
years , farmers have often threshed ou
25 bushels , and sometimes up to 35 am
even 45 bushels , while anything unde
10 bushels is exceptional now tha
farming has improved somewhat.
REPUBLICAN OPINION.

THE Democratic party. Despite thi
fact that such time honored and expe
rienced leaders as Senator Gorman ant
Chairman Jones and others , who wen
active in political life before Bryan wa ;
born , have urged the abandonment o
the silver issues in New York , Mr
Bryan has written a letter urging jus
the reverse of this. In that letter h <
insists that the Democrats of Greatei
New York should , and indeed must , en
dorse the national platform , which , o
course , means the free and unlimitet
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to ]
without the consent or co-operation o :
any other nation ; also renominatior
of William .Jennings Bryan in the yeai
of our Lord 1900 particularly the lat

are inclined to the opinion thnt the f I
judgment of such men as Mr. Gorman , I

outcome of It nobody knows nor can v

to a widening of the breach in Democratic - I

what has become of the camp-meeting
itself ? 'It seems to have been as flat | H

The mad rush of the leaders of the j H

late Popocracy for a new l3sue to take
the place of the exploded silver theory H
has resulted in the nomination of Henry - |
ry George for mayor of Greater New j H
' York by a large element of the Democratic - ' M
cratic party of that city. Mr. George , M
as is well known , is the chief apostle j J

tion by a large element of the narty in | M
