Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Argentine Republic: General Descriptive Data Prepared in June, 1909 The Argentine Republic, the third largest of the American Repub lies, is situated between latitude 220 and 560 south and longitude west of Greenwich 53° and being bounded by the Republics of Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, and the Atlantic Ocean. It has an area of square miles, equal to about one - half the total area of the United States of America, and a population of or per square mile, as against in the United States of America. Stretching over 34° of latitude, the country presents a variety of climate and products, ranging from tropical in the north to arctic in the South, but the larger part of its territory lies within the temperate zone. The broad, fertile plains extending from the At lantic to the foot of the Andes, occasionally broken by a series of low mountains, afford excellent pasturage for thousands of cattle, and nearly all cereals, especially wheat, corn, and oats, are successfully cultivated. Other industrial articles produced in export quantities are hides and skins of. All kinds, and the valuable quebracho wood and its extract. Sugar, cotton, tobacco, and grapes are largely grown, but mostly for home consumption. The mountains contain rich deposits of silver, copper, and gold, which are as yet exploited to a limited extent only.
