The comparative absence of rail-
ways m the four d divisions

denced by the fact that the number

mtenor, but our own expaiencc with
that area which a half century ago
was alled the “Great American Des-
ert” has shown that cultivation along
Its edges increased the produdng
power of the adjacent lands, and the
application of water by irrigation
has rendered the arid land extremely
productive.
This development of the producing
rower of our own desert areas fol-
food and manufacturing material to
the densely populated sections of the
globe in which such materials are
actually required.
RAILROADS AND POPULATION
True. the question of population
with which to’ produce the foodstuffs
and manufacturing material which
new railways must stand ready to
carry, would be in certain areas a
further problem but when we recall
the tremendous additions which other
continents contributed to our own
growing use of agricultural ma-
chinery including farm mm and
tractors would incur;-

Nor can it be 2 glued that the ab—
sence of nilways‘m the undeveloped
continents is duento a lack oi pro—
ducing power of their great interior
areas. South Amerim has probably
less of what might be termed “des-
ert" land in proportion to its total.
area than the United States had in
the early stages of its development.
and her mountain areas are in no
greater proportion than our own.
fria. it is true. has her Sahara.
lowed the extension of the railways
into that area, and similar experiences
_ O ,
might be expected to tollow. an ex-
tension of transportation facilitiesto
and within those areas of Asia. Africa
and Australia now looked upon as
deserts. and enable them to not only
support a greater producing popula~
firm but contribute la y to the
wants of other arts 0 the world.
Aside. however. rom the now “des-
crt" sections of Afr-in and Asia
there are great arms of absolutely
fertile lands of high producing pow-
er which only need transportation and
a 13 r population to enable them to
con but: enormous quantities of
population durin: the years in which
we were Cxlcli-llii': railways to the
interior of the l'nztrd Snares suggests
that fertile. areas of 3% interior of the
other contmen‘s wwui'l not long await
producers if they more supplicd with
facilitim for moving their products
to the water‘s edge. and especially in
v‘cw of the growmg demand for food
and. clothing Mia“ other parts
of the world. ’
Recent developments in the appli-
cation of mechanical power to pro-
duetion and transportation would also
facilitate local production and at the
same time increase the width of the
belt which a railway may serve. The

Recent tabulations by the Bin-can of
Railway Economics and sther high
authorities put the "net capitalization"

om 4.605. In densely u-
