INDIAN WEALTH.

pie in all the world. They are the
owners of more land, more coal, more
timber, more cattle, more oil per
capita than are the whites or the ma
ton in which they dwell. The per
capita value of their wealth is not
such that any question of its prece-
dence may be raised. They are six
times as rich as is the average citi-
ben of the United States ana that cit
izen is the wea1thiest In the world
when they are excepted. In fact, IL
the wealth of the Indians was equally
distributed among the 100000 mem
bers of the race dwelling within the
United States. each of these would be
possessor of $4,000 worth of 1t. This
is an ambitious showing IN Compare
son with that of the hundred million
beneath the flag who have but 81, 900
each on the average.
The basis OF Indian wealth is real
estate When the white man came
to America the Indians owned the
continent. From the standpoint Of
the money value OF their land, how
ever, they.<were not as rich as might
be supposed. Real estate is valuable,
other things being equal, in proper
ton to the number of people who live
near 1t. Rich Ohio farm lands then
brought a string of beads for a town
ship.
But the Indians were gradually
driven back until they occupied those
wild lands which no white man want
ed. Eventually the government grant
ed them those lands as reservations.
They still own them, but as many pei
pie have come to dwell near them. the
laws of real estate values have oper-
ated. and the Indian has become rich.
Let US look at some of his proper
ties.
Transformed Desert.
The Reclamation Service some
years ago completed what Is known
as the Yakima project. It brought
under irrigation region that had
formerly produced nothing because
of insufficient moisture. It trans
formed desert into one Of the rich
est farming regions Of the United
States. region which has become
most famous of them all as the pro-
Queer of high-class apples.
The river. the reclamation project,
the principal town of the section are
called Yakima from the Indian tribe
that lives in the vicinity. These In
dams had been granted reservation
of this formerly useless land. It was
reclaimed with the rest of the region.
There are 10000 acres OF the Indian
land, and because Of the people who
have come to dwell thereabout, it has
market value of from 800 to 5000
an acre.
An entirely different people dwell
ing under different conditions are the
Quinielt Indians, also OF Washing
ton. They have dwelt through the
centuries beneath the dense shadows
OF the forests near the coast. they
cast their nets into the streams that
mirrored their birch-bark canoes
while Alexander was busy conQuering
medieval world. They have suf-
fered no privation since the dawn OF
the time when the silver salmon hrst
came inland to spawn.

Seed More Alfalfa.

It Is not too early to begin to make
plans for some more alfalfa. This is
one Of the great crops Of Kansas
greater in many ways than wheat or
corn. It takes time and the applica-
ton Of proper methods to secure a
stand of alfalfa, and this is especially
true In the eastern part Of the state,
For this reason plans must be made
in advance, so that when the time
comes to seed everything will have
been done to make success as nearly
sure as possible. There is hardly a
farm in Kansas where an increased
acreage of alfalfa should not he grown.
On some of these farms the land may
be sour and will need sweetening with
lime. Weeds must be destroyed as
completely as possible in advance Of
seeding. Some of the most successful
alfalfa growers in eastern Kansas re-
gard this crop so highly that they
make no attempt to grow spring
crop where alfalfa is to be seeded in
the fall. The entire early portion of
the summer is devoted to the proper
preparation of the soil for seeding.
If the plan is to seed alfalfa on land
that has grown spring grain crop the
seed bed preparation should begin at
once after harvest.-Kansas Farmer.

territory which legend Identifies as
the original home of Adam and Eve.
1t is about 100 miles north of the
Persian gulf and is the key to the
possession of the valuable Turkish
hinterland of the gulf waters. The
100 miles between Kurna and the
Persian gulf would have been the
chief prize of war, even if no addi-
tional territory had been added to it.
Are Not Content.
But, having arrived at the en-
trance to the Garden of Eden, the
weak English and Indian forces now
reveal that they were not content to
remain outside. Military operations
were begun which have carried the
invaders 60 miles within the origin
al settlement of the human race, to
Amara. The point reached by the
British is the most important SETTLE
ment on the Tigris side of the Gar
den of Eden. It is about ITS miles
below Bagdad, with which oriental
metropolis it is connected by the navi-
gable depths of the Tigris.
Advance Questionable.
Whether the weak British expe-
dition can advance as far as Bagdad
without being reinforced is question:
able. But the success of the Car
den of Eden campaign is developing
so we'll that it would appear to be
excellent military strategy for Eng
land to send more men for operations
toward Bagdad, even if sacrifices
have to be made elsewhere. It is ap-
parent from the official description Of
the Amara fighting that the. Turks
are demoralized in that district and
have little fighting spirit left. More
than 1000 Turks have surrendered
and 1900 have fed before much
smaller Anglo-Indian forces.
The Garden of Eden fighting DEM
onstrates that the Turkish troops are
much less formidable when compelled
to fight alone than they are when
they have German support. In the
Garden of Eden the Turks have been
made panic-stricken by a weakened
enemy. It is probable, therefore,
that if, despite German support, the
Turkish morale gives way alone the
Gallipoli peninsula, demoralized re-
treat to Constantinople will occur.
This much hope General Ian Hamll-
ton can find in the expulsion of Mo-
hammedans from the Garden of
Eden.

While corn and soy bean silage con-

be inferred that grain is entirely un-
