PLATE 2 



1. Subsistence plots south of Lake Valencia, Venezuela, near the hamlet of Giiigue. The 

 plot of corn in the foreground will soon ripen; the second, in the middle ground, is about 

 a month old. The farmer has planted yuca on the rocky slope in the background. 



2. A canefield on the hacienda Tacrigua, Lake Valencia Basin, covers all the good alluvial 

 soil, and the only land available for subsistence is on the hillsides; these farmers almost 

 every year enter the money economy of the country by working as cane cutters.
