Besides Argentina, with its enormous areas of plains and rolling downs, Chile, which is generally pictured as a land of precipitous mountains, has 95,000,000 acres of arable land. About 15,000,000 of these, it is estimated, are suitable for wheat, but only 2,000,000 acres are at present devoted to its cultivation. The average yield is about 30,000,000 bushels of wheat each year.
