Argentina as Competitor MERICANS have become so accustomed to hearing that the United States is engaged in serious competition with European nations for the trade of South America that they are prone to look on South American trade as a one-way sort of affair. The casual observer has a vague sort of no- tion that, t¢ pay for these imports, the South American countries produce precious metals and various raw materials that enter into little or no competition with the United States. It is a little startling, then, to find that Argentina has stepped out and entered into a direct competition with this country and bids fair to take away one of the markets for one of the leading industries of this country—beef production. Statistics gathered by the Department of Commerce indicate that Argentine beef has gradually become standard in Great Britain, and that a goodly portion of the “roast beef of Old England” now comes from below the Equator. The best grade of Argentine steer beef em- bodies all the characteristics that the British like in their beef, and the consumption has in- creased until now the South American repub- lic is exporting 515,000 tons of beef annually, by far the greater part being chilled beef of a higher grade, the output of the “frigorificos,” which are a fairly recent development, Cattle raising has become one of the leading industries of Argentina, as is shown by the fact that the annual production ranges from 4.

The increased de- mand has brought about a corresponding ine crease in quality of the beef cattle, until now, of the 34,000,000 steers on the ranges, fully one- half are of the short-horn variety. Conditions have changed somewhat, and while the demand for Argentine cattle is great, it is not so insistent as a few years ago, and quality and economical production aré now the paramount questions. Making Milk Sweeter RECENTLY report was made of fruitless efforts to make sweet milk sweeter at the time of production. Now ‘the chemists of the Department of Agriculture are announcing that they have tackled the problem from a different angle and sought to make milk sugar sweeter after production and have been successful. The lactose, or milk sugar, has a very im- portant place in the feeding of babies and in regulating the diets of invalids. Heretofore, the production of lactose has been confined to the alpha-hydrate form, which has not only been a dry, chalky powder, but has had a flat taste, not particularly sweet and of little solubility. Because of these unattractive characteristics, the sale of lactose has been rather slow. The new process worked out by the chemists has resulted in the development of the beta hydrate, which is readily soluble and appears, therefore, to be much sweeter, Beating the Corn Boier ONE way to rid oneself of an unwanted visitor is to provide no place for the visitor to stay, and, following out this inhospitable line of reasoning, the Department of Agriculture has worked out a method of successful battle against the European corn borer, Usual practice on farms, when cutting corn for shredding or ensilining, is to sever the stalks about five or cix inches,from the ground. This is due, of course, to the fact that the cutting blades on the mechanical cutters don't go any lower. These stubbles left in the field offer a haven to the larvae of the next season's crop of borers. The experts of the Bureau of Roads have wotked out a new device which cuts the stalks at ground level, and which can be at- tached at small cost to the average binder. At i Wi e PR RTINS
