In other respects foreign agriculture a Feature in general made average seasonable progress. In Argentina, the great wheat and flax seed exporter of the south- ern hemisphere, the Autumn eown crops have entered their first month of the trans-equatorial Winter ia vigorous condition and on probably {largely increased areas. The re- cently gathered corn crop there turned out badly and little or ac, surplus will be available for ex- port. The corn crop of South Africa also is reported damaged Ly drought and there probably will be none for export. be" PAGEANT + OF THE EMPIRE Most Wonderful Spéctacle Ever ' fo Withessed en the Streets of & .
