. Brazilian cotton; being the report of the journey of the International cotton mission through the cotton states of São Paulo, Minas Geraes, Bahia, Alagôas, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Parahyba, Rio Grande do Norte. Cotton growing. 104 BRAZILIAN COTTON This finishes the description of Minas. It must be stated that cotton in small patches is grown all along the left side of the river from Pirapora to Sao Francisco, but some distance away from the river. There is a large cotton zone on the right and left bank of the river " Rio dos Pandeiros," which is a tributary of the Sao Francisco, joining the latter below Januario. Cotton from here is brought to Januario, Jacare and Manga. On the right side is a cotton zone behind Morrinho, along the Rio Verde. On the Rio dos Pandeiros is a waterfall, 35m. high, not yet used for hydro-electric purposes. Besides cotton Minas produces coffee, Indian corn, rice, black beans, tobacco (for which Minas is famous), sugar cane, potatoes and manioc or mandioca. The latter is a root of a shrub which is ground to flour and as in the interior bread is seldom baked, meat and vegetables are generally covered with mandioca flour (" farinha ") in substitution of A typical View of the Vegetation along the Banl Sao Francisco River of the Upper.
