1916 The Bolio Manzanillo brothers managed to make the property quickly grow to almost 3000 hectares, including 20 henequen plantations (young, mature and old).

1929 Felipe G. Canton, owner of several Haciendas around San Jose Cholul, becomes de new owner of San Jose Cholul. The Agricultural Reform Act announced by the President of Mexico Lazaro Cardenas in 1937, hardly has any affect on San Jose due to the absence of an important population in the Hacienda.

1934 The workers of the Hacienda provoked several conflicts as they did not agree with the salaries Felipe G. Canton was paying them. The authorities intervened and established new prices and salaries. All the workers of the Hacienda, about 20, were living in those days in the village of Euan.

1944 San Jose Cholul Canton came into the hands of Elba G. Canton de Basares. In these days the Hacienda had only 15 hectares of land left.
