FLOUR FOR THE INTERIOR 



In the days of '49 the bread of the California miners was made from Chilean flour. Wheat 

 is raised principally in central Chile, where the long, fertile valley between the mountain 

 ranges is like the golden valley of California. Agriculture represents a high proportion of 

 Chilean industry, one and a quarter million acres being cultivated for wheat.
