Paraguay A Commercial Handbook PDF Download

Excerpt from Paraguay: A Commercial Handbook If a line were drawn in a slightly southeastern direction from the Apa to the Alto Parana, passing through Horqueta, San Estanislao, and Colonia Hohenau, the country to the east of this line would include the most undeveloped portion of the Republic, except, of course, the interior of the Chaco. There are probably not more than inhabitants in all this region, which comprises consider ably over half the area of eastern Paraguay. For all practical pur poses most' of this country is farther from the capital than is Buenos Aires. In the southwestern part of the country is. A triangular region, lying between the Parana and the Paraguay Rivers and the h' ls of the Misiones, consisting of wide expanses of low, swampy lands, like the esteros of Neembucu and Bellaco, amon which slug gish rivers find their way out into the Parana or t e Paraguay. Here and there are areas where cultivation is possible. This region is admirably adapted to rice and other cultures demanding the soil conditions found here, though it suffers from exposure to the chilling winds that blow out of Argentina. At present it is largely given up to cattle raising. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
