HUGE CROP IN SIGHT
Billion Bushels Of Wheat Possible if
Good Weather Conditions
Continue.

Excellent prospects of the winter
wheat crop were very generally main
tanned during the week ending yester-
day. and the condition Of spring wheat
continues favorable, according to the
Department of Agriculture's national
weather and crop bulletin issued today.
Continuation of such growing condi-
tions throughout the season will ma
teray dSo ono assist dss the tpe
wheat crop, which. on June l condi-
tions, the Department of Agriculture
estimated at s51, 100000 bushels.
Cool and wet weather over the more
important corn-growing states still fur
ther delayed planting. replanting and cul-
tivation, and little growth was possible
during the week. the bulletin says.
Weather greatly favored the growth of
cotton in the south, and the crop con-
.inues in satisfactory condition.
Fruit prospects continue excellent.

TORA|SE APPLES
Tribe of 1900 Indians Live in
Mountains of North
Carolina.
CATO SELLS GIVES AID
TO IMPROVE HOMES
Will Substitute Frame for Log
Houses-Streams Stocked
With Fish.

Two thousand Cherokee Indians. for
the most part full bloods, are living to-
day in corner Of the North Carolina
mountains forgotten by the people of
the east. These Indians, who are. a
remnant of the Cherokee tribe which
many years ago was moved by the
United States government to the old
Indian Territory, now part of Okla
homa, own So. acres in Swain county
n. c. They bought these lands with
money allotted to them by the govern
ment years ago. refused to go west and
have community of their own.
Commissioner Cato Sells of the Indian
bureau has visited these Indians in re-
cent weeks and has planned the estab-
lishment of new industries among
them for their own improvement and
development 1t is said that he is the
first Indian commissioner to inspect
personally the reservation and to dis
cuss with the Cherokees themselves
their problems.
Cherokees to Raise Apples.
While the Indians hold $1,000 acres of
land. 1t Is not all tillable, by any means.
Located in beautiful mountain coun-
try, much of the land is rugged. Com
missioner Sells learned that the condi-
tions there are ideal for apple growing.
And right then he developed the first
OF his ideas for aiding the Indians
Much of the land owned by the Indians
could he used for apple orchards;
splendid market for the apples lies not
more than $50 miles away, at Atlanta.
Ga. So Commissioner Sells got into
communication with the Department of
Agriculture and made arrangements to
have the Indians supplied with a great
quantity of seedlings for apple or
chards 1t is estimaed that the Indians
on the land which now is not of much
use to them can reap large profits from
the prospective apple orchards.
Much OF the Indians land is wooded.
The Indians in most cases are living
today in log houses. 1t occurred to
Commissioner Sells that this condition
could be bettered. The labor was at
hand. the material growing on the hill
the Indians that it would be a good
plan to have a portable sawmill, which
could be moved readily from place to
place, to make the lumber with which
to build themselves frame houses far
more comfortable than their present
habitations.
The Indians caught at the idea i'm
mediately and agreed to cut the tim
Der and operate the mill and build new
houses If the commissioner would see
that a sawmill was provided. This will
be done at cost of $1,000, which the
Indians will pay back to the depart
