Spain's Capital 4
Th? Royal Palaca,. Madrid.
(Prepared by the National Qeotiraphlo
Society, Washington. I>. C.)
MADRID, the capital of Spain
Is a thoroughly modern city,
with very little of the traditional
llnvor of old Spain,
and with nearly all the luxuries und
conveniences of other European und
American capltuls. It hus a buckground
of tine buildings, wide streets,
theaters, educatlonul and scientific Institutions,
und uutomoblle rouds und
railways reuching to every part of
the kingdom.
Visitors who go by the fast direct
trains from Purls to Madrid, und expect
to seo the colorful costumes nnd
striking architecture one usuully associates
with the life of the country,
are disappointed in Spain's capital
city. Madrid's streets swarm with
motor trucks and pleasure cars. Underground
are subways, connecting
the railroad stations and the principal
suburbs of the city. The boulevards
resemble those of Paris and
Berlin, with their bordering trees and
imposing hotels, public buildings,
shops and monuments.
In plnce of the poncho and sombrero
the visitor will find the tailored
suit nnd the felt or straw bat of a
hustling business man of the New
York stamp. The latest Paris creations
mnke it dlllicult to distinguish
the Spnnish senora and senorlta from
their Latin sisters in Paris, Rome,
Havana and Buenos Aires. The languorous
strumming of the guitar and
the click of the castnnets, if they could
be found - off the sfftge in Madrid,
would today be drowned by the incessant
"whank. whank" of Its Importunate
taxis.
Toledo. Granada and Seville arid
other Spanish cities, with their narrow,
tortuous streets, hemmed in by
blank walls of residence facing;inclosed
gardens, appear as If they were
In another world when compared
the modern capital with its wide treelined
boulevards, and spacious parks
and public squares. '
Madrid Is the youngest of the great
cities of Spain. It owes Its present
. importance to political creation; While
It was not "made from the whole
cloth" as Canberra, the new capital
of Australia Is being fashioned, In a
way It Is as truly an artificial capital.
Until the middle of the Sixteenth cen-tury
It was an obscure little village Of
sun-baked adobe houses, clustering
around the former Moorish outpost
called Madjrit
Politics Created the City.
The rather bleak table-land had little
to commend it as a site for a
capital or a great city save the fact
that It la almost the exact geographical
center of Spain. But it was political
pressure that really pushed the
Spanish court to the former Moorish
village of Madjrit; because the Jealr
ousy of each other felt by the Castillans,
the Aragonese, the people of Toledo
and Seville, and all the other
groups would not permit the selection
of an existing city of importance when
Spain became united. Philip H, seeking
a capital for his newly united
Spain, rejected one by one the Aragonese
city of Saragossa, the Oastlllan
Burgos, the Vislgothlc Toledo and
the Moorish Cordova and Seville.
Madjrit, besides being In almost the
exact geographic center of the kingdom,
had no sectional ties, so Philip
declared It the "Gnlca Corte," or Royal
residence, Castlllanlslng Its name
to Madrid.
With hardly any of the natural advantages
that contribute to rapid
growth, Madrid's early days as g capital
were as troublous and uncertain
as those of our own national capital.
-Excepting Its central location Madrid
was denied by nature almost every
suitable condition for a metropolis.
It perches on arf elevated steppe In
the midst of a vast rolling plateau,
bleak and treeless, about a half mile
above sea level. Two hundred feet
'sbelow It winds the insignificant river
Mansanares, while the . surrounding
districts are unproductive, except for
small quantities of corn.
The smallness of Madrid when Philip
n made It the Spanish capital
brought about the institution of a
queer tax . from which floated queer
results. It was decreed that all persons
possessing houses above a certain
also nliust take In as guests courtiers
and nobles who attended the
- court The canny Spaniards who car
rled on any building operations took
care to build houses Just short of fhe
mark. They were termed "spite
houses" by the courtiers, and the Madrid
of a few hnndred years ago became
full of them.
The small bouses naturally did not
bring beauty to old Madrid. In addition
the town was poorly cleaned
ivcm to tft middle of -the Bight
-t
... - o
'ik.
e?nth century had the reputation of
being one of the dirtiest capitals in
Europe, 'rhe Bourbons early In the
Eighteenth century began to build
pulures and public buildings, however,
and the French, during the brief hold
which they had ?in Madrid at the
height of Napoleon's power, started a
number of improvements. *~
Climate le Freakish.
Another detnent to be reckoned
with in Madrid Is the climate. Sudden
changes of weather often bring
great extremes of temperature within
a short time. In summer, the heat Is
almost unbearable. People keep In
the shade (bullfight tickets cost twice
as much on the shady side of the
rlng)v for !ithe sun's rays strike the
skin like little red-hot needles. The
air Is then so keen and' subtle that,
according to a popular couplet, "It will
kill a uiun, while It will not blow out
a candle."
Madrid's real prosperity nnd nation- |
nl Importance dates from the construe- j
tlon of Spain's railroad systems. It j
is now the greatest railroad center In
the country, and would probably figure
as a greater international ct^ssrond if
the Spanish lines bad the same gauge
as those of the rest of Europe.
Wealth, Industries, nnd populutlQh
have come In the wake of the rollronds.
Madrid, with more than 800,000
residents, is the largest city in
Spain. Fine parks have been laid
out over barren hills, wide tree-lin^d.
* streets have pushed Into the suburbs
to take care of additional homes and
buildings.
Madrid's "center of everything" Is
l the Puerta del Sol, a targe public
square In the center of the city. It.
Is a sort of hub for a dozen streets
which, like spokes of a wheel, laa4.
- In all directions through the eity<
Here It Is that seller meets buyer,
'beau meets belle, the loafers loaf, the*
street venders ply their trade and the
beggars beg. MJpgllng with the city
folk are stocky basques from the Pyrenees
country, ruddy-skinned gypsies
from the south and olive-complpxloned
individuals from other portions of
, Spain as well as Frenchmen, Englishmen,
Italians, and a few ^representatives
of all other European countries.
Royal Palace Is Imposing.
One of the Puerta del Sol spokes
leads to the $15,000,000 royal palace,
one of the principal show places of
the Spanish capital. It Is an imposing
structure of granite. The spacious
yards surrounding It are usually
thronged with men and women sauntering
on the walks, leaning against
the palace wall or sitting on the royal
steps. As In the Puerta del Sol the
venders and newsboys are heard above
the din of chatter, and. the ever-prescnt
beggar makes life miserable for
tofe stranger. Boys and girls playing
games remind one of the-south lawn
of the White House on Easter Monday
when the gates of the President's
"back yard" are thrown open for
youthful egg rollers.
In the public squares and along the
boulevards American automobiles vie
with foreign makes and even, the
Spanish mads cars of which the Spanlards
are' extremely proud. One can
hall anything from an ancient flivver
to America's largest automobile In
whleh to make a tour of the city.
Less than half a mile, to the east
is the famous Prado and the "paseos,"
or promenades, that extend it to the
northward and the southward. These
great wide spaces and ...boulevards,
with rows of from five to eight trees
in their center, form one of the most
handsome promenades and "show
streets" In the world.
Across the space of the Prado Is the
renowned "Mused"'de Prado"?often itself
called merely "the Prado"?a picture
gallery which houses one of the
world's most wonderful collections of
the paintings of the masters. It undoubtedly
rivals the collection In the
Louvre, nnd Is claimed by Spaniards
to surpass It. The Prado gallery Is
particularly famous for Its group of
the best works of the great Spanish
master, Velazquez, who lived and
worked In Madrid. Statue? to Velazquez
nnd other famous Madrllenos.
Cervantes, and the Spanish Shakespeare.
Calderon de la Barca, adorn
the parks.
A mile or more to the northeast of
the Prado across the city's most extensive
park, "The Retreat," is what
ay be considered the antithesis of
the world-famous picture gallery. It
(s a great circular ampltheater, a
somewhat smaller Roman Colosseum.
It Is the "Plaza de Toroe"?the bull
ring, which will seat 14,000 spectators.
Bullfighting, bswsvar. till thllen from
Its high estate in 8paln today, and
spectators are, for ths most part the
shotting element and American tour*****

Bead carefully and plant all cover crops you find
you can?and plant NOW:
j PLANT OATS EARLY
Clemson College, October 1.?One
of. the most common causes of failure
! of the oat crop is late seeding, says
T. S. Buie, head of the agronomy division,
who advises that oats should
j be planted sufficietnly early in the
fall bo that the root system may
have time to become well established
before the cold weather. This tends
j to reduce winter-killing and at the
j same time enables the plants to bej
gin growth early in the spring. Th?_
j greater development of roots will
I also serve to .prevent washing of the
* land -during the winter months,
j Experiments conducted at Clemson
College show that highest yields are
! produced when oats are seeded early
j in October, and if the date of plant5
ing is much later than October 15
j the yield will be greatly reduced.
- Oats do better when planted on a
! firm seedbed, so one of the most satj
isfactory methods of seeding is to
drill between the cotton rows just
after the first or second picking is
made.

Things To Be Done This Month as
Outlined By Clemson College.
October is a <month for planting
as well as harvesting. j
- Winter cover crops reduce losses
of plant food from soils and (if le
gumes) also add nitrogen for use of
future crops.
Oats planted early in October give j
best results. j
Barley, which may be grown al- !
most anywhere in South Carolina, j
makes excellent feed. i
Rye is the standby for grazing and
for soil improvement on poor land. j
Sow early. ' ^
