lums. A refugee having sought safety
among them will never be surrendered.
DR.. Magee found them faithfully at
and by no means entirely submissive
to the priests. Among themselves they
have their ancestral ceremonial rights
of birth, marriage and sculpture, as
well as feasts and festivals. They have
n government of their own, and crave
independence. They are also Il hos
pitable race. The men are kind to
their women and children. and the
women WELD great influence. About
their bravery there is no question. The
women do some fine weaving in cotton
and the fiber of the agava.
The men are employed as herders,
farmers and miners, and do their work
well. They know the value of dollar
quite as well as white traders, and can
drive shrewd bargain. Their houses
are matched huts with earthen floors,
usually standing in the midst of small
bean patches. There is no doubt that
the Iaquis of to-day are the remnants
of brave and partially civilized peo-
pie whom the Spaniards found in Mex
leo. They have never been conquered,
and have never forgiven their Spanish
enemies, nor their descendants. Their
military organization is almost perfect,
consisting as it does of companies, regi-
ments and divisions.
gentleman who recently returned
from u trip through Sonora told the
writer that he could not find a more
appropriate designation for the Yaquis
than that of the Irish of America"
Their love of country, he says, is as pure
us that of the Irish peasant. Their
bravery as unquestioned as that of the
noblest Irish patriot. BY force of num-
bers and power of military equipment
they have been robbed of the tribular
sovereignty over their native soil, but
in sentiment they are Yaqus and no
amount of legislation will make them
MeXicans. They have been prosecuted
by alien priests and slaughtered by
full to the religion of their fathers. A
people like that, he thinks, deserve en-
couragement rather than annihilation.
AS TO the number of Yaquis there is
a great diversity of opinion. Some es-
innate the strength of the nation in
Sonora at $4,000, others at 10000. Fiji
teen thousand is probably the right
figure. In 1920 the Yaquis numbered
10000, but thousands were killed in
their wars with Mexico and thousands
OF others were degraded into poems.
On the other hand, the government Of
Mexico has sacrificed $4,000 soldiers and
many millions of dollars in fruitess
endeavors to subdue the Indians and
restore permanent peace. How many
of the $4,000 remaining Yaquis are now
capable of bearing arms cannot be told
with any degree of accuracy, but 5000
might be taken as a conservative csti-
mate. And 1900 mountain men fight
ing in mountainous country for home
and liberty is n mighty host. That
every soldier will readily concede.

IT ENDANGERS TREES.
Sun ScaId Entails Greater Loss On
Fruit Growers Than Fungi or
other Parasites.

In some parts of the country sun
scald is one of the most important fac
tors in growing fruit trees. Especial
ly is this true in the southwestern
states, where the danger from sunburn-
ing controls the whole practice of cult
walton and pruning. In that country
the trees are headed low, even down to
within foot or six inches of the
ground, in order to protect the trunks.
At the same time any considerable
pruning in the tops is avoided, because
it would expose the larger branches to
the deadly sun scald. This difficulty
is less frequently met in the northeast
ern states, but the writer has lately
visited an orchard as far north as Can

cans and has never been surveyed by
the government engineers. There are
traditions of vast mineral wealth in
this UNEMPLOYED region, and one belief
current i'm Mexico is that the Iaqui
country holds the ruins of an ancient
and splendid capital. This city, ac-
cording to tradition, occupies noun
tain height not to be approached save
by trails which the Iaquis jealousy
guard against intrusion.

sionaries entered the valley of the

Foreign Invasion-Former
Struggles for Liberty.
Especial Correspondence


For the sixth time since their coun-
try has been invaded by the Caucas-
ian race the Yaqui Indians of Mexico
are now battling for their lands,
and their homes, and national in
dependence. No nation or tribe of
aborigines on the American CONT
nent has showed so sublime a love
wisdom; and to one familiar with the
history of Indian rcvolts it is not sur
prising to hear that the Mexican gov
eminent is prepared to dispatch 10000
troops to the north to subdue the re-
bellious Yaquis.
The present war must terminate
either in humiliation or in virtual in
dependence. Military authorities, ia
miliar with the strength and fighting
capabilities of both sides, are confident
that the MeXicans will win, but not
without terrible sacrifices; and that,
even after their defeat, the Indians
will keep up a guerrilla warfare for
years to come. The struggle will prob
ably claim many more victims than
the late Spanish-American war and will
also be more important from stragetic
point of view, to say nothing of its
historic interest as being the last de-
termined stand of the American native
against the immigrant from Europe.
The\Aaqui Indians are the dominant
race in numbers in the state of Sonora,
in extreme northwestern Mexico, TO
the north of their habitatiohs being
the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico. Much of their country is alto

~ 80 per cent. of the trees were ruined
by this trouble. They were pruned too
high, with heads six, seven and eight
feet from the ground.
Sun scald is usually worst on apples
and pears, but il may appear on almost
any tree. The accompanying illustra-
ton is from tree of Downer's late red
cherry growing Tor dying) in Mary
land. When the damage is as ola as
this, where it has been accommodating
for several years. it is doubtful if any
remedy can be applied, though one can
see in the photograph how persistently
this tree has tried to heal over the
wound. When taken in the early
stages, sun scald may be cured by pro-
tecting the trunk with boards, papers,
straw or some similar material At
the same time. the scaly, burned parts
should be cleaned away, and some sort
of wax may be applied. The best
treatment for sun scald, however, is to
avoid it.
Sun burns are usually only the be-
ginning of other serious troubles. Bor-
ers commonly follow closely after.
Bacteria and mods gain access, and
cause increased damage to wood and
bark, and the rain and sun check and
crack the exposed tissues, to their great
and permanent detriment. 1t is doubt
less fact that sun scald is more i'm
portant enemy of fruit trees than many
of the fungi that have been extensive

recent books and bulletins.-F. \.
