form Law of June 1959, large

landholdings have been broken
up to be organized into state-|
run farmers’ co-operatives or
distributed among_ landless
peasants, tenants and squatters.
Over 30,000 of these property
titles have already been de-
livered to the “campesinos.”
During - 1960, all the large
Sugar cane plantations were

cane land has been organized
into 614. sugar cane co-opera-

equals 33.16 acres) and giving
employment to 120,000 fam-
ilies. Each sugar cane co-opera-

cattle, swine and produce var-
ious crops, so that the workers
will have year-round employ-
ment,.even during the “dead
