ROSARIO, CHICAGO OF SOUTH AMERICA This Is Country’s Leading Grain Exporting Port Washington, D. C., Sept. 3 (P— Discussion over the problem of get- ting the American farmer more money for his crops directs attention to one of his chief competitors, Ro- sarfo, Argentina. That city has become the leading port for grain shipments in South America. It now stands second only to Montreal in the volume of grain dispatched from rorts of the At- lantic seaboard of both North and South America Spreading Buenos Afres, the only metropolis over 2,000,000 anywhere south of the Equator, throws a deep obscuring shade over Rosaria. ‘Wheat Service Station Rosario proclaims tl.at it is prem- ier port for Argentina’s premier pro- duct and calls, itself the “Chicago of Argentina.’ However, Buenos Aires could be divided into six Rosarlo's and there would still remain a sub- urb or so. Its strategle position has brought 300,000 people to Rosario to join the 50,000 population of fifty years ago. Warehouses are mounted like so many tanks on the edge of the steep cliff 80 feet above the river. Ocean steamers come abreast and cut off thelr engines. A chute takes the place of a hose and down the chute flows pungent grain wheat in bulk or in bags. Rosario can fill the hold of a 4,000 ton tr ap steamer in five hours. The engines start. Two hun- dred and forty-five miles down the river the tramp passes proud Buenos Alres as she carves the waves on a non-stop voyage to Liverpool or Rome. Rosario is hidden from the travel- ar. It one approaches the city on a steamer journey instead of on a rail- road run, five hours’ from Buenos Afres, the very bluffs which have contributed so much to Rosario's prosperity screen the town. ‘Business is business’ the wharves and ware- houses seem to say, and onge up the clift the visitor finds the river ad- vertisement not misleading. Five hundred thousand square miles of rich country is tributary to Rosario, it is sald, so the 350,000 residents must be up and doing to meet the needs of 4,000,000 pampas people in the Rosario sphere. The city, there- fore, is an array of offices and homes with less of the flamboyant architecture than is found in many South American cities. Inhabiting these busy streets is a cosmopolitan population. New York may have more Irish than Dublin and more Italians than Rome but its majority is American. Parls is still Freaeh. Marseilles may come nearest duplicating Rosario’s complex hum- an collection, which is itemized as follows: French origin 20 per cent; Uruguayan 17 per cent; German 16 per cent; Italian 16 per cent; Span- ish 10 per cent; and Argentine 8 per | these groups come | nglish, Russians, Bel- a conces- | he city's tish com- pany. gian corporation severs electricity to population. Gas is under the direct control of a munici- pal organization. Of the eight rail- roads that make Rosario a trans- portation center four are English, three French, and one Argentine owned. Galvanized Steel and Graashoppers Argentine wheat, which is a fac- tor in determining the price of American wheat, was shipped out of | Rosario in a recent year to the tune of 1,217,000 tons, which would re- quire about 174 average size steam- ships. Wheat, however, Is only one- third of Rosario’s grain shipm story, while corn is another Looming large in the city's im- ports is the odd item of galvanized jron sheets.
