He writes: Nothwiths™nding Peru is a tropi- cal coutry in a geographical sense, the climate of the coast zome, which Is most densely populated, is extremely mild, the temperature rarely fallling below 54 or rising above 86, and storms are quite unknown. The three dis- tinct zones of the Coast, the Sierra and the Montana have almost noth- ing in common, but all are seats of agricultural industries. A large part of the coast of Peru is arid, these areas being cut through by 55 rivers, the cultivated area of the valleys watereq by these streams be- ing above 1,500.000 acres, of whicn two-fifths of this land is now irrigated and in use. The sandy sofl is of thae most fertile in the world. Not being washed out by the rains, it retains many natural chemical elements which in other countries have to be In the coast regions the cool night air permit the growth of many temp- erate frults and vegetables. Higher the hardier fruits, and potatoes, which are indigenous to Peru, and grown else in the world. There is ligtle ex- port of these products, as barely enough is produced to satisfy needs of the country, and transporta- tion is too costly to afford much in- ducement for expamsion. A small | mount is shipped into Belivia from In the Sierra the temperature rare- 1y falls below 40 or rises above T6F. The grains, principally wheat, barley, and varieties of corn, are grown on the | siopes and plateaus of the Andes, with splendid coffee, tobacco, and many vegetabes and fruits. The rainfall av- erages from 50 inches per annum in the upper and reaches to over 120 inches In the lower portions on the Atlantic slope, diminishing to prac- tically nothing on the coast side. In some of the upper plateaus snow falls at rare intervals, while it is continu- ally present on the high peaks, and, melting, feeds the numerous lakes and !

In Peru are obtained the srutm cotton . harvests in the world per unit of area. Some of the cotton grown here cannot be found elsewhere in the world except on the Peruvian coast. There are § cotton factories in Lima. 1 in Arequipa and 1 in Ica, having a total of 1.725 spindles, and a capacity of 20,500,000 yards of cloth per annum, which is mainly used for national wear with a portion being exported to Bo- livia. Their combined capital is, ap- proximately $1,500,000, and they pay wages amounting to over $200,000 per annum. The value of their products may be taken as $1,100,000 annually. There are 9 factories devoted to the extraction of cotton-seed oil, 3 in Lima, and § at other points. The Government conducts a Cot- ton Experimental Statien in connec- tion with the School of Agriculture. Peru has been counted among t#s principal rubber producing countries for many years, the bulk of the gum originating in the humid lands along the, tributaries of the Amazon river, of which there are 50,000 kilometers within the Republic of sufficient size to float canoes and light craft. The rubber is usually extracted by lapping the trees periodically, felling being strietly prohibited by law, though it is sometimes induiged in ‘the distant interior. Seientific tap- ping gives about 24 pounds a year for many years against twice that amount once once onl¥ of inferior grades from felling the trees. The trees are worked by “estrades”, of usually 100 trees cat- tered over something like 100 acres, the number of trees and area depend- ing upon their distance apart and the difficulties ,of communication. They are tapped, and the collecting cups emptied daily during the season, and the “latex,” or sap, is treated the same night. Tapping is usually done about 6 feet from the ground, though some gatherers prefer to carry light ladders ang tap as high as ten goc( The coagulation of the “Jebe”, or one class of rubber, is brought about by rotating a stick dipped in the “la- tex” over a fire made in a special oven from a hardwood which gives out an acrid smoke and causes the gum to harden. The stick is dipped again and turneq until a large bail re- sults, which is cut off and the process repeated. The ‘“caucho”, or another kind of rubber, is coagulated by run- ning into a hole dug in the ground and treating with a solution of soap or in the juice of the “ventilla” (a na- tive piant) ang is exported in “planks.” The laborers are paid by their out- put, as a rule, receiving about $20 for 100 pounds of first class ‘“jebe,” and $10 for the “sernamby”, or the dirtier second class rubber. They are main- lv a satisfied lot of natives, but in some of the distant concessions Indi- ans haye been forced to work and even taken from their native villiges and fransported against their will to labor is scarce, and there have been, ag all who have read about the Putumavo atrocities, which talked of of late 4in the dally newspapers, authenticated re- ports of inhumaun treatment, which Peru, the United States and Great Britain are now trying to eradicate. n Peru several kinds of coffee are superior quality and comparing favorably with the most famous produced in other coun- tries. as it possesses aroma, color, and exquisite flavor. In the 3 regions into which the Republic is topographically divided coffee is produced with great success; but where its cultivation has reached the largest development is in ! the Montana districts.

The excess ofl the production over the total home consumption, about 1500 tons, is ex-- ported to the United States, Chile, and other countries. Peru no longer im- ports coffee of any class. The yearly production amounts to over $200,000. Wine is produced in the vineyards districts of the Republic in consider- able quantities. The vineyards are, however, in the early stages of devel- }opment, though wine growing has been practiced for centuries, the first ! cuttings having been introduced in 1557. Many vineyards cover no mors than 10 or 15 acres, and, as a rule, the “haciendas”, or farms, comprise only from 100 to 300 acres. Corn is grown extensively, the maize of Cuzco being considered the most' productive, ag well as the largest and most vigorous of all the known vari- eties. This maize obtained. the gold medal at the St. Louis Exposition, and has been much sought after for seed. Barley is grown to a limited extent, . under the same conditions as wheat, and is used as fodder. The cultivation of rice is one of the leading industries of the Republic, and dates from colonial times. The aver- age amount of the annual crop may be put down as between 30,000 and 40,000 tons with a valuation of aboue-‘ $2,300,000. It_would be futile to attempt to list and describe the fruits which grow in Peru in an article of this nature. Every variety of tropical fruit grows, | or can be grown, in Peru to perfect- tion, the orange, lemon, banana, agu- acate (called in Peru the palta), ma- mey, mango, papaya, pomegranate, melons, and cactus fruits being a few of those well known in the mar- ket. Of the temperate fruits, the ap- ple, peach, pear, plum, cherry, fig, and quince may be taken as typical, ex- ceilent varieties being grown. Straw | berries are abundant, good and very | cheap, growing in the petter known varieties and also a small berry of | dark red color, sweet and musky in | flavor, popular ‘with the natives. | "As in fruits, every vegetable known | grows readily. To list the varieties would be to repeat the names in any daily market list, with addition of a few known only in tropical countries. | Peru is the natural home of the po- | tato, which grows in many varieties { Of these, the famous is the Peruvian | vellow potato, which is shipped | home as a delicacy in the spirit in thl(‘h plum puddings are sent by Eng- { lish folk to their wanderers in distant ; lands. It is of the exquisite taste, highly nutritious, with golden color and a thin skin. The whole world is familiar with “Lima beans” the wide, flat beans of whitish or yellowish coélor and rich flavor. Besides these, almost every known variety grows to perfection. | Beans and peas form staple articles of diet, as in Mexico and other Latin American countries. The yield of the Lima bean is 1700 pounds ' per acre, and valued at $66. Alfalfa, or lucern, grows in any part of the country, giving up to 40 tons per acre. In Peru the raising of cattle, sheep, horses, goats, llamas, alpacas and vi- cunas {is extensively practiced, a large part of the territory of the Re- public being peculiarly suited for the development of stock raising. An industry closely connected with stack raising is that of cheese and butter making, and while the dairy in- dustry is not prosperous as it might be, considering the advantages offered by the climate, the butter and cheese is the preduction of lard, which amounts to about two and one half million pounds annually. This quan- tity failg to meet the local di and there ig a large import trade un- der this head from the United States. This brief account, which has prob. ably seemeq tedious to tthose listen- ing to it, gives only the most general idea of agriculture in Peru, but what remains to ke said, to those who care’ to hear the.same, I hope to say in person upon my return to the dear old U.
