C1 HILE is essentially an agricultural country. The world knows her best for her mineral resources, nitrate and copper in particular; but it is not in exploiting these that most of her population is employed. Relatively few of the Chilean people have ever seen those sources of national income, the salitreras of the northern desert and the mines hidden deep in the Andean canyons, nor have they seen the great forests that constitute the potential wealth of the south. Chile's population lives on the soil. Many even of her urban dwellers-forty-six per cent of the total inhabitants-retain close relations with the farm, as owner, renter, tenant, or hired laborer. Sprung from an ancestry that tilled the fields of Spain, they have found similar climatic conditions in these fruitful vales between the Andes and the sea; and during the four centuries that they have been in America they have carried on a Mediterranean agriculture, making that industry the basis of their entire social order
