Early Indian Agriculture.

cultural The Indians were mostly
farmers peacefully disposed and dwell

and forced them to adopt rowing and

Corn was their principal crop-a ce-
real unknown to Europe. How ex-
tensively they grew it may be Judged
from the fact that in 50 the British
destroyed 10000 acres of maize plant
ed by the Senecas.
The Indians OF pre-Columbian days
pursued agriculture on cooperative
plan. Large fields OF corn were made
up of hundreds OF individual fields.
The sQuaws stirred the fruitful earth
and planted the grain. At harvest
time the men and boys helped to gath
