Hungarians help fuel Venezuela's economy plan
Venezuela has taken in 7,500 Hungarian refugees to bolster its self-sufficient economy. Model farms will grant ownership to many, with 21 communities hosting such efforts under the National Agrarian Institute. Major dam and irrigation projects, including the Guarico dam, aim to boost water supply and farm output, supporting a broader plan for agriculture, industry, and trade led by President Marcos Perez Jimenez.

Spain's Largest Province Booms With Irrigation
In Badajoz southwest Spain a $125 million irrigation project called the Badajoz Plan aims to irrigate 230000 acres by 1965. Construction has created 15000 jobs, 16 new towns, and a surge in factories and farms along the Guadiana system. Girls enter work as factories hire workers, easing long unemployment as new wealth rises.
