Yaquis Yield Independence in Mexico City
Yaqui warriors submit to a non-Yaqui commander and join the Mexican army at Port Perote Veracruz. Gen Francisco Manzo led a three year campaign with 13,000 troops and nine airplanes before surrendering under terms that allowed Yaqui leadership to persist under General Ignacio Mori. The end of Yaqui independence leaves a small force in the Bacatete mountains with language and customs intact despite integration into Mexico.

Agricultural Notes on Crops and Livestock Practices
Dry years reduce curculio attacks while manure savings cut costs. Canada bluegrass should not be planted where Kentucky bluegrass thrives. Oilmeal prices make soybeans a profitable seed crop again. Skim milk fed to hogs boosts profits. Manchu soybeans are widely grown. The Dunfield bean is rapidly gaining favor. Soybeans offer easy, reliable yields. roughages vary with quality. Early cut hay surpasses overripe hay. Herd bulls need space to exercise and ample pasture access.
