IMPORTATION OF AMERICAN CATTLE INTO ARGENTINA Will Break Mnoopoly British Breeders Have Hitherto Enjoyed. Buenos Aires, Sept. 30.—The removal of the interdict upon the importation of American cattle ‘into Argentina opens to American breeders a most promising market that has been mon- opolized by British breeders hereto-, fore. Already some of the Argentine estancieros, as the owners of great| ranches are called, have taken inter- est in the possibilities of the new con- ditions,: and as a pioneer in the trade, Senor” ‘Celendic Pereda, one of the most prominent of the Argentine ranchmen, -has gone to the States to select bulls and other blood- ed stock for his vast estates. In view of the phenomenal advance in- the, prices for livestock in the Ar- gentine and the probability that they may reach still greater heights,: par- ticularly, if the .European war con- tinues, it js assumed that the estan- eros who seek cattle In the United States will be prepared to pay well for choice stock. The cattle show fat Palermo, which is an annual fixture azd which is con- sidered an economic ~ barometer of prosperity in the republic .Las jusi closed with results that are far more encouraging than could have been ex pected. It made plaia the fact that in whatever other ways the covntry riight be suffering depression, its basic.in- dustry—cattle grazing—prospers as never before. ¥ The Argentine” has suffered trade disturbance as a -vesult. of the war, and during the past two years thel country has heen passing through | what is called here” a “crisis of rro- gress”—the result of lavish, upmdi»{ ture of borrowed capital in nationai and - provincial public. works. But ia the face of these adverse conditions, there is. the outstanding sienificant fact that a single chempion Durhan bull, for instance, has just sold at auc- tion for $60,000 paper (he Argentine paper dollar being eguivalent to about 42 cents gold.) The_ average prices at the Palermo show established many records. The ! favorite breed of the Argentine is now the Durham shorthern, of which 200 bulls, making up the first lot put up at the auction, brought a total of $1,140,000 paper, Or an . average of $5,700 a head (about $2,615 American/ gold). And this does not include a six per cent. commission whioch, .in this country, is paid by the purchaser, The Hereford has, it appears, de- clined ;in: favor,” the champion bull of that breed being sold for $12,000 pa- per—only a fifth of the price paid for the champion Durham. 3 The polled ‘Angus; which was deem- ed the coming breed a few years ago, was in such little favor at Palermo that it was difficnlt to find a bidder. The champion «f this class went for e | 1 IF BACK HURTS USE .SALTS FOR KKIDNEYS Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like lead or Bladder bothers you —Meat forms uric acid.

The Angus steer, however, is in great demand among the establishments that pack frozen beef. Oply recently priges in the or- dinary cattle markets went as high $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, prazing is carrfed on under primitive conditions, with little application of science and expert knowledge. Argentine is an ldeal grazing coun- try, but the natural pasture except in privileged zones, is very scrubby. Owing to. these visible disadvantages lands were sold by the league in the old times the price being based upon the quantity of stock that could be ed. There are vast extensions, hundreds of thousands of leagues, that are still obtainable at prairie value. The poor settier ean no 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 view to improvement. ‘When this is done pudiciously the re- sults are surprising. In this coumtry stock is housed.+ Some animals preparing for the show, are raised in special pad- docks, but’ the animal raised for the butcher rarely sees the inside of a building, *or tastes anything but pas- ture grass. This out-of-door life ssves expense and, doubtless, avolds some of the cattle diseases. The set- tler who purchased land forty years 8go at prairie value apd put it under alfalfa, is the wealthy estanciero of today. Some of the big estancias have been handed down from father to son, but Argentine law governing succes- sicn is altogether contrary to the maintenance of hereditary interest, for when the owner dies there is generally a division of all his estate among his heirs. Tha great enemy of grazing and ag- riciiture, is drought and at present it is keenly felt in Cordoba, the prin- cipal alfalfa province, where it is com- plicated by the locusts, a plague which has cost the republic millions to keep down. It is claimed that the depre- dations of the voracious insect are not 80 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 following season. In regard to drought the problem is no less complex. The re- public is so large, and the natural fainfall is so unequally = distributed that the trouble is endemic in about hine-tenths of the total area. The va- rious schemes of irrigation have cost enormous sums of money and created only an oasis here and there. The skilful settler or wealthy es- tanciero contents himself with _sink- ing wells and erecting windmills to pply his house and stock, but it is 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 mre 200 varioties of the cactus natural to the country. He thinks that-this plant, deprived of thorns by breeding them out, would golve the difficulty. The cactus will thrive in the poorest soil, and 90 per, cent. of its'Jeaf w t is . The bre of the plant is also declared use- tm;l the textile industry.
