ARGENTINA OPEN T0 ~AMERICAN BREEDERS Tnterdict Upon Importation of U. §. Cattle Removed (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Buenos Aires, Sept. 30.—The re- moval of the interdict upon the im- portation of American cattle into Ar- gentina opens to American breeders a most promising market that has beéen monopolized by British breeders heretofore, Already some of the Ar- ‘entina estancieros, as the owners of great ranches are called, have taken interest in the possibilities of the new conditions, and as a pioneer in the trade Senor Calendio Peredo, one of the most prominent of the Argentina .ranchmen, has gone ta the United States to select bulls and other blood- ed stock for his vast estates. In view of the phenomenal advance . in the prices for live stock in the Ar- gentine and the probability that they may reach still greater heights, par- ticularly if the European war con- tinues, it is assumed that the estan- cleros who seek cattle in the United States will be prepared to pay well sfor choice stock, Cattle Show Success. ~ is an annual fixture and which is con- sidered an economic barometer of prosperity in the republic has just closed with results that are far more encouraging than could have heen ex- ected- It made plain the fact that fn whatever other ways the country might be suffering depression. its basic industry—cattle grazing—prospers as never before. The Argentine has suffered disturbance as a result of the and during the past two years the country has been passing through ~what Is called here a ‘crisis of prog- ress”—the result of lavish expendi- ture of borrowed capital in national and provincial public works. But in the face of these adverse conditions, there is the outstanding significant fact that a single champion Durham bull, for instance, has just sold at auction for $60,000 paper (the Ar- entine paper dollar being equivalent 1o about 42 cents gold.) Many Records Established. The average prices at the Palermo show established many records. The favorite breed in the Argentine is now the Durham shorthorn, of which 200 bulls, making up the first lot put at the auction, brought a total of $1.- 140,000 paper, or an average of $5,700 2 head (about $2,515 American gold). nd this does not include a six per nt commission which, in this coun- try is paid by the purchaser. he Hereford has, it appears, de- s clined in favor, the champion bull.of | that breed being sold for $12,000 pa- | | | trade | war, ! i | | frozen beef. per—only a fifth of the price paid for the champion Durham, Probably World Record. The polled Angus, which was deemed the coming breed a few years ago, was in such little favor at Pal- ermo that it was difficult to find a bidder. The champion of this class went for only $4,500 paper. The An- gus steer, however, is in great demand among the establishments that pack Only recently prices in cattle markets went as the ordinary | high as $400 paper for this type of steer—probably a world record. One outcome of the flourishing state of the grazing industry may be im- provements in the Argentine ranches. With the exception of a few localities, grazing is carried on under primitive conditions, with little application of science and expert knowledge. Ideal Grazing Country. Argentina is an ideal grazing coun- try. but the natural pasture, except in | privileged zones, is very scrubby. Ow- ing to these visible alsadvantages lands were sold by the league in the old times, the price being based upon the quantity of stock that could be carried. There are vast extensions, hundreds of thousands of leagues, that are still obtainable at prairie value. The poor settler can do nothing with these lands. He would starve on a league of it if he had not a gun to shoot birds. But the rich syndicate or private investor could, and many do, buy with a wiew to improvement. When this is done judiciously the re- sults are surprising- In this country stock is never housed —Some animals preparing for the show, are raised in special paddocks ! but the animal raised for the butcher The cattle show at Palermo, which rarely sees the inside of a building, or tastes anything but pasture-grass. This out-of-door life saves expense and, doubtless, avoids some of the cattle diseases. The settler who pur- chased land forty years ago at prairie value and put it under alfalfa, is the wealthy estanciero of today. Some of the big estancials have been handed down from father to son, but Argen- tine law governing sucession is alto- gether contrary to the maintenance of hereditary interest, for when the own- er dies there is generally a division of all his estate among his heirs, Drought Great emy. The great enemy of grazing and ag- riculture it drought and at present it is keenly felt in Corcoba, the princi- pal alfalfa province where it is com- plicated by the locusts, a plague which has cost the republic millions to keep down. dations of the voracious insect are ! not so great as formerly, but just now it is admitted that the damages being caused are very great. The insects come from Bolivia, Brazil and Para- guay. They return to their quarters in those countries after Argentine has spent much money killing a more or less negligible percentage of them and they return in clouds the follow- ing season. In regard to drought the problem is no less complex. The re- public is so large. and the natural rainfall is so unequally distributed that the trouble is endemic in about nine-tenths of the total area- The various schemes of irrigation have cost enormous sums of money and It is claimed that the depre- ' created only an oasis here and there. The skilful settler or wealthy es- tanciero contents himself with sink- | windmills to | supply his house and stock, but it is | ing wells and erecting obviously impossible to overcome by artificial means, the heavy handicap imposed by nature. Mr. Ross an American expert who has been tour- ing the provinces, suggests a solution. He finds that there are 200 varieties of the cactus natural to the country He thinks that this plant, of thorns by breeding them out, would solve the difficulty. The cactus will thrive in the poorest soil, and 90 per | cent. of its leaf weignt 1s water. The fibre of the plant is also declared use- ful for the textile industry. The al- falfa plant, however, must still coh- tinue to hold the field in a literal sense.
