ARGENTINE'S WHEAT PAMPAS. With Much Demand for Its Grain, It Malke Much Difference What the Season ls. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, D. C., Dec. 18—With Russia’s and Rumania’s wheat crops cut off from the rest of the world by the Dardanelles, with Canada’s and Austrelia’s cereal output “spoken for” by England’s armies, and with Amer- ica's product commanding record prices, the eves of empires turn tow- ard Argentina, which ranks sixth among the wheat growing conntries of the world. Balley Willls, in & com- munication to the National society, tells of the vast nn\mfltnnl wealtl. of this countrv. The soclety has issued a part of Mr. Willis' article as the following bulletin: “The soil and the climate of the pampas, which cover an area of 200,000 square miles, give the Argentine re- public its high rank smong the wheat and corn growing countries of the world. The soil is & nancient alluvi~ um, the fine sediment carried by old rivers far out from the mountains, like the deposit now being made by the Paraguay and its tributaries, an island deita in the interior of the con: tinent.

North, east, south and west it is the same-—a bil- lowy plain, hollowed and moulded by the wind, the free-flowing air, which in place of running water has sculp- tured the immense expanse of fine brown earth. “In former days it mattered nothing to the world at large and compara- tively little to the Argentine himself whether the season was a favorable y one for wheat or not; but now, when millions beyond her confines lock to Argontina for bread and when Argen- tins prosperity is regulated by the wheat she sells, it matters much. “The time will come, probably, when plentiful rains or drought wiil matter less than now; for at present agricul- ture in Argentina is in that elemen- tary state when it is most exposed to injary by the vicissitudes of climate, Great flelds are tlitivated by few hands. The poorly prepared soil, the shallow plowing, the neglect of Culti- vation, all invite josses in any but a favorable year. In the cast rainfall usually is abundaht or excessive. There are arcas of Buenos Aires prev- ince which are ipunduted by heavy rains, and great drainage works have been ‘undertaken by the government at the instance of the land owners. From east to west the rainfall diminishes till it becomes insufficient ,for agri. culture in the average vear, and farm- ing can prosper only where irrigation is practicable, “Thus the pampas, of which we may think as a monotonous plain, exhibit —_— How To Get Rid Of Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness or Head Noises If you have catarrh, catarrhal deaf- ness or head noises caused by catarch, or it phlegm drops In your throat and has caused catarrh of the stomach or you will be glad to know that tressing symptoms can be en- tirely overcome in meny instances by m“{m’ lowing troatment ‘which you can ur own home a little cost.
