Those Are the Kind, as a General Rule.
They Have In Mexico.
In the United States the farmer is
humble person. In Mexico he is king
OF millionaires. You look out across
level plain and you see magnificent
house of stone. cement and great tim
bers. covering sometimes as much as
half an acre. Surrounding it are 9th
er houses. hundreds of them, but all
small, constructed Of adobe, brush or
even Of cane stalks. You are not look
ing at a town. but at ranch settle
ment. In the great house. which costs
many times more than all the little
houses put together. live the hacien-
dado and his family. In the little
houses live the poems.
The typical farm in Mexico is not of
100 acres, but Of 100000. In the
state Of Morelos twentyeight hacien-
dados own all the agricultural lands;
twelve own nine-tenths of them. The
territory CT Quintana Roo, double the
size Of Massachusetts. is divided
among eight companies. The greater
portion of the state of Yucatan is held
by thirty men. kings of sisal hemp. A
major fraction of the agricultural and
grazing lands OF chihuahua is owned
~ one family. Lower California
equal in size to Alabama. is nearly all
held by five great corporations.
The 100000 acre farms lie mostly
fallow. Naturally rich agricultural
country. Mexico does not produce
enough corn and beans to feed her
own peon population Modern ma,
chinery is needed. but modern ma
chiner- will never be used extensively
So long as the peon is SO cheap that
primitive methods are cheaper than
machine methods.-Worll Outlook
