]. H. HAMMOND WOULD PACIFY YAQUIS

John Hays Hammond has asked
the Mexican government to permit
him to go, unarmed and. accompanied
only by an interpreter. into the
mountainous stronghold of the Yaqui
Indians in Sonora, to pacify that
turbulent tribe. The government OF
Mexico has fought the Yaquis for
thirty years, but today the Yaquis are
unconquered.
Mr.. Hammond expects that the
Madero government will give him the
permission which he desires. His
program is based on his belief that,
as a result of his life and work in
Mexico, many years ago, the under
standing between him and the Yaquis
is so thorough as to obviate the risk
of his being injured or killed. Major
Burnham, the famous American and
South African scout and fighter, will
accompany him.
Last July Mr.. Hammond wrote to
Senior Calero, the Mexican ambassa-
dor to this country, outlining his

WOULD EDUCATE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW

To carry knowledge of scientific
agricultural methods directly to thu
man between the pillow handles, and
thereby increase the agricultural prod
ucts of this country by at least 20
per cent, Senator Hoke Smith in a
speech in the senate the other day
urged the passage of the Smith-Lever
bill to establish agricultural extern
sion departments in colleges of agri-
culture.
THE annual value of our agricul-
tural products is, in round figures,
s., 900. 100000" Senator Smith said.
''If the increase as a result of this
work were only 20 per cent We would
have an increased value Of $500, 000.-
600, or a sufficient sum to meet the
proposed appropriation for 600 years.
Senator Smith pointed to the pas
sage of the Morrill, bill for the estab-
lishment of land grant agricultural
colleges in each of the states of the
Union, and of the Hatch bill for the
establishment of an experiment sta
