Heavy Increases. Compared with the average annual production that obtained from 1906 to 1910, the last years of the Diaz tyranny, the average annual crops harvested from 1923 to 1926 show not only heavy increases in production, but that the trend is away from the extensive cultivation of a few food crops, such as corn, wheat and beans, and more and more attention and ef- ort is being paid to the modern method of diversified farming. During the years 1923 to 1926 heavy increases of production took place in ten of the most important products; chick-peas, coffee, cotton, | potatoes, beans, rice, sisal, sugar, to-/ bacco, tomatoes, bananas. ‘Ihe in- crease in production of these crops, figuring the prices at the lowest. load rates, amounted to $51,641,: Mexican pesos, False Statements There has of late been much propa- ganda disseminated by intervention- ists that Mexico has been compelled , to import corn, wheat and beans from | the United States. The implied in- ference was that the break-up of the | huge estates has resulted in losses in! production. This is unqualifiedly | false. The drops in production of corn, wheat and beans this year have been due to the devastating floods | that have laid Southern Mexico, par- ticularly the rich Guanajuato fields, in ruins. The importations that have resulted, despite the tremendous losses have amounted to only 1% per cent of the present average production of corn, wheat and beans, respectively. Not New. These floods are no new experience. The Mexican Year Book published in 1909 under the direction of Diaz de- voted much attention to the losses from inadequate irrigation facilities. The report points out that there are | junder way great irrigation and flood | {control projects, whose completion | within a few years will put an end to the recurring destruction.
