[43] Uruguay can still be roughly divided into two parts by drawing an almost straight line from, say, Mercedes on the River Uruguay to San Vicente on the Atlantic, the chief cereal areas lying south of this line, while the land north of it chiefly carries live stock. [44] At the moment of writing (February, 1916) the demand by the Allied Governments has become less. [45] A letter, received by the author during the preparation of this book, from one of the great Cold Storage Companies, says: “Much regret that we cannot give you any reliable information in regard to the Export Value (for 1914), and do not even care about hazarding a guess.” [46] It is only fair to add that lack of transport from the chief forestal areas at present offers economic difficulties. [47] Uruguayan literature is the less open to adverse criticism in this regard.
