PEARL INDIAN CORN

Few people are aware of the fact
 that thes U. S. Bureau of Crop Esti-
 ates for 1918 gives total of 920O
 acres of corn grown on the Indian
 reservations in Coconino, NavaJo end
 Apache counties.
 F The Indian method of growing corn
 is very interesting. Several of the Az Nricultural Extension Service workers
 recently accompanied County Agri- 'cultural Agent Charles R. Fillerup,
 on a trip of more than one hundred
 miles north of Holbrook, Arizona, to
 Keams Canyon where the Hopi In-
 dlans, numbering about 2,300 reside
 yin cliff dwellings little influenced in Ntheir customs by the surrounding civ filization. w. M. Cook State Leader of County Agents, who was a member of the party has this to say of the
 corn farming by the Indians::
 k "The corn fields of the Hopis and Navajos would scarcely be recognized
 as such by farmer from the corn
 belt but the Indians succeed in a man. Nner which seems to contradict most \of the accepted principles recognized by the white man.
 > "The corn is planted in the soil at "a depth of four to six inches without any cultivation of the soil Holes are first dug in the earth quite similar to a post hole and handful of corn is placed in each hole and covered, Seventeen stalks were counted in one hill which was about an average. These hills are irregular in distance and position, probably averaging 12 feet apart. No thinning or cultivating is done during the growng season. The suckers are carefully removed from the stalks as they appear. A few times during the season the weeds are cut between the hills of corn
 'The most desirable corn fields are in the dry washes in which consider able water flows at times. The large number of stalks of corn are neces- sary as protection to the hills of corn from washing. The same is true regarding the effects of sand during times of drought which would destroy a single stalk if growing alone.
 Although Indian ponies are avail able for cultivation they are not used in the growing of the corn crop. houeTn lmpllfnenCS Wnlcn nave been supplied the Indians stand rusting and rotting and cannot be used in the In- dian methods of corn growing.
 "When harvested the corn is turned over to the women for proper drying and storing. This work is most care fully done and if the slightest mold developes the corn is not used. Prev ious to the coming of the white man these Indians often kept five years supply of corn in reserve for famine and war needs. Even now most of the homes visited had two years SUD- ply in store. The method of grinding the corn between stones by hand in the same manner as was the cus- tom hundreds of years ago. Corn flakes which are comparatively new to the white man, have, in a slightly different form, long been an article of food among the Hopi Indians.
 "This primitive Indian race, known to the world most generally through their phenomenal religious ceremony called the snake dance, has many other equally interesting customs of agricultural and livestock production which attracts the visitor.
