PLANTATION SCENE IN YUCATAN.
mmstemmimmimm ¦ ip»iii «wm.ni.>.:^:^
GOOD ROiDS WEEK
Cornell to Co-Operate With Hi^wAy Department.
State
Not even on the farms in Yucatan, Mexico, are there frame buildings, except in rare instances. The homes of the "haciendados" (planters; are built of stone or cement, as are the storage barns, and the peons live in houses constructed of cement or "adobe." Unusual cleanliness Is exhibited about the farm buildings and the homes of the laborers. The above photograph shows a henequen drying plot, where the shredded flbre used so extensively In the manufacture of binding twine Is strung oa wires attached to posts and sun-dried, preparatory to baling for shipment to the United States.
The farmers of Yucatan produce approximately 300,000,000 pounds of henequen flbre annually. They receive about flve cents per pound net for it. Tbe steamship companies charge 1 1-4 cents per pound for transporting it to the United States, or more than one cent per pound higher than the freight rate existing before the European war opened. The entire henequen supply ot Yucatan is sold through a State Commission created for the protec¬ tion of the interests of the growers.
A Mexican Thinker.
PRIMITIVE ROPE MILL
Dr. Victor A. Rendon, former Secre¬ tary of State of Yucatan, Mexico, and one of the leaders in the progressive, polilual and social rejuvenation of Yucatan, ia looked upon by Mexicans as one of the big "thinkers" ot that republic. Dr. Rendon recently suc¬ cessfully negotiated a $10,000,000 loan In the United States to linance a farm¬ ers' marketing system of Vucatan. and is now the general director in this country of the Yucatan State Commis¬ sion which acts as the soiling agency for the henequen growers of that state. Dr. Rendon graduated from the nnlverslties of Mexico City and Paris, n^nce. He organized the Democratic JOlltical party In Yucatan.
The above photograph shows a peon's family In Yucatan, Mexico, en¬ gaged in making rope and cord by band from the flbre of the henequen plant. Note that the man starts his rope by tieing ttae ends of the loose flbre to the "big toe" of hts right foot and begins winding the long white strand with his hands. These Yucatecos make a fine quality of rope In this nuui¬ ner. After winding their strands from the henequen flbre the women of the household make carpets, etc. These poor people of Yucatan were slaves for so many years before the recent revolution that they have never accus¬ tomed themselves to wearing shoes. With the changed conditions In Yucatan, which give these people living wages and future hopefulness, a new and very important shoe market wlll be opened to United States manufacturers. Notwithstanding the absence of shoes, these peons of Yucatan are cranks on the subject of personal cleanliness and the 'ileanllness of their meagre wardrobes.
CAHLE RAISING IN MEXICO.
Mexico ships several hundred thousand head of cattle to the United States for slaughter every y^ar. Most of tbese beeves are raised in tbe tier of northern states bordering on Texas, where, before tbe revolution, thera were ranches of from one million to seven million acres in extent owned by a few rich men.
The above photograph was not taken in northern Mexico, but down in Yucatan, wbere the new government, set up by the revolution, Is preaching to the farmers the gospel of producing at hibme all necessary food supplies. Yucatan is extremely arid and for a long time little attention was given to anything except the production of hene¬ quen, or sisal grass.
Oovemor Alvarado has sent to tbe United States for numerous agricnltoral, horticultural and live stock experts, and Is trying to show the fanners of Yucatan ttae advantages of diversification. Yucatan now has several fine cattle ranches and within a few years tt Is expected that tbe peninsula state will be able to produce all the beef needed there, and more.
Tacatan has more individual waterworks systems than any other similar area in the world and tbe farmers are learning the value of Irrigation. In Merlda, the capital ot Yncataa, there are thousands npon thousands of wtadmlUa.. which brlna water from a depth of SOe to ISOO feot.
A second good roads week wiil he held at the College nf Civil Kngineer¬ ing. Cornell University, from Feb. 21 to Feb. 26. incluaive. Thia meeting is in co-operation with the New Yoric State Highway Department and the Federal Offlce ot Public Roads. It la announced that the program will con¬ sist of a series of illustrated lectures delivered by experts on various sub¬ jects (onnected with highway engin¬ eering. There will be. In addition, demoost rat ions and round-table dis¬ cussions to Include subjects of bridge design, reinforced concrete, the selec¬ tion and use of surveying Instruments and other kindred topics, such a.s the identification of road materials, dem¬ onstration tests of such materials, and of the strength of beams and columns. In the strength tests, the
laboratories of the College of Clril Engineering with their testing ap¬ paratus wlll be uaed.
Last year's meeting, the flrat at its kind In New York State, resultea in bringing .together more thau three hundred highway engineers and con¬ tractors, county and town road super¬ intendents land others interested la tuv subject Ol good funds. This year there are Indications of a much larg¬ er attendance, and it is likely that good roada week will become an an¬ nual feature. Invitations have beea sent to road experts of this state and other states, and among tbe authori¬ ties who will be present wHl be a number from the federal departmenta in Washington, and from Neir Jersey and Pennsylvania as well as New York.
It is announced that the whole course of instruction will be free, and that everyone Interested is cordially invited to attend. Detailed Informa¬ tion can be had by writing to the Highway Deparment. College of OlvU Engineering. Cornell Unlveretty, Ith¬ aca. New York.
