CACTUS PATCH IN MICHIGAN.
Plant Supposed to Have Been
Brought North by Indians.

rom the hliWaukcc Wisconsin.
Located in the northern portion of Blue
Lake township, covering an area of sew
eral acres and preventing to a great eX-
tent the successful farming of the land
i'll that vicinity, is an immense patch OF
cactus of the prickly pear variety. Nat
uraly growing only in the warmer por-
tonS OF America. the spread of the big
patch in the extreme northern part of
MuskeSon county has been the cause OF
no little comment. and the stories of its
origin are numerous.
Nearly half a centur% ago &. +. Whee-
ler, connected with the Depa rtment OF
Agriculture at that time, IN going over
Muskegon county happened upon this
strange cactus patch. He pronounced the
plant native Of Arizona and was able tC
explain its presence in Michigan only on
the theory that some Indian tribe either
migrating here willingly or driven north
ward rather than become ensl;tved to
some more powerful tribe, had brought
the plant
Legends of how the cactus was brought
to this country are still told by the resi-
dents of Blue Lake, who have heard from
time immemorial the stories of its origin
from the lips of aged Indians who fifty
years ago We're numerous in the county
The Indians used to say that the cactus
was brought from Arizona here by the
band of Zuni Indians, who conquered BY
another of the minor tribes, were forced
To accept exile or slavery.
The date of this coming to Michigan
was placed by these Indians at about the
year 400 from estimates made in the
stories told them By their forefathers
and to prove their statements that the
cactus was the best food they would burn
off the barbS and make various native
dishes of them. In spite Of the climate
here the cacti seem to flourish in the dry
regions of Blue Lake. and in the last few
years have been extending TIE area which
they cover.
