Farming In Mexico.

The American farmer and the
Mexican farmer have nothing in
common. The Mexican farmer,
says a writer in Worlds Work, is
a king among millionaires, a
modern survival of the feudal
lord of the land. He says:
You look across a level plain
and you see a magnificent house
OF stone, cement and timber,
covering sometimes as much as
half an acre. Surrounding it are
other houses hundreds of them
but all small, constructed OF
adobe, brush or even of corn
stalks. You are not looking at
a town but at a ranch settlement.
In the great house, which costs
more than all the little ones put
together, lives the haciendado
and his family. In the little
houses live the poems.
The typical farm in Mexico is
not of one hundred and sixty
acres, but of a million. In the
State OF Morelos twenty-eight
haciendados own all the agri-
cultural land. Twelve own nine
tenths of it. The greatest part
of the agricultural and grazing
lands of chihuahua is owned by
one family.
The millionaire farm is mostly
fallow. Although it is naturally
a rich agricultural country,
Mexico does not produce enough
corn and beans to feed its own
peon population. Modern ma
chinery is needed, but modern
machinery will never be used
extensively as long as the labor
of the peon is so cheap that his
primitive methods are less costly
than machine methods. Youths
